Opening times of the location
I called the studio manager up and they told me that the chosen venue for the advert  is open from 10am to 10pm every day.
Cancellation policy
The venue gave our company a notice of less than 28 days prior to the booking period. The original fee will also be charged in full.
There were two studios that was up for hire but when I checked out the two the first room was much more suited for our advert as we wanted it to look like a dress room instead of a dance studio/ or any normal studio.

PITCHING REFLECTION

For the trial pitch that took place on Friday the 10th January 2014 I worked with Esther Olagunju. We decided to pitch a perfume called 'Unbreakable' our chosen company name was LeMarie Sync. To attract costumers to use our perfume we decided to use TLC the all-girl American music group as they just released a come-back film. Despite the fact that there were different actors that were used the film still went global. I felt this practice run went better than I expected. I could have been more alert when it came answering a few of the questions but I picked up a tactic of saying "We don't have it at the moment but we'll get it to you as soon as possible". In all my delivery in the trial pitch went well.
