[Imc-g8-2005] Re: Convergence party

[euan2000 at onetel.com]

Hello

I agree, filming the convergence workshops would be a bad idea.

What might be handy though would be to film interviews with individuals there
who would not mind talking on camera.

What I was thinking of was, however,  of filming the music at the Convergence
Party on the sun night, which could then be used for any G8 film soundtrack.

My main concerns for any G8 film, is that it would explain to Joe Bloggs, why
people are going to the G8, and have a personal element to it where by any
audiance would be able to relate to it and thus enjoy watching it from
beginning to end.
