We gathered together the 9 emails of apprentices that were willing to come to Salford to take part in the planned shoot. Jade had the emails and tried to get in touch a few times, first asking when was the best time for them to come down, what days and if it was better for morning or afternoons. She initially got some replies saying that they were able to come down whenever and whatever time was best for us. She then emailed them saying a time and date that was good for all of us. Unfortunately she didn’t receive any replies, this was before the Easter holidays. So she was able to try once more to see if any would still come down. After emailing them all again, two days and times were given to see when was best for everyone. This is when people who had previously hadn't replied got back to Jade and said they couldn’t do it anymore. We did get one reply from one person, who said he could do it, but then didn’t reply after another email with further detail were sent .
Some of the Emails
I was very disappointed with how this project was ended, as I really wanted to carry out the ideas I had. I felt these people were really interested and excited by the prospect, they fit the look I wanted really well. I felt it was a big opportunity missed for us, and feel that it should have more successful because we laid out the time we needed from them at the beginning. If we were able to do the shoot again in the future, I would take up the opportunity. But I would need to make sure they were 100% on board. We didn't send any more emails after this as we didn't want to sound pushy.
