    Can you open the tabs to view the jobs yet or is it just me? I'm so impatient lol.

    TBH not looked yet, if theyre like the job I did earlier in the year you'll want to check the film times and work out how many different 'reels' are being used at the cinema so you can work out the best way to do it without wasting too much time between start times. And make sure to print off a couple of spare sheets for recording, I made an utter mess of mine first time around so had to go back the next day to redo it!

    No I can't see it, just had the phone call confirming I'd been allocated it and they said they will be up around Wednesday. It's my first one so I don't really know what to expect!


    It will be my first one too! Not sure what to expect. I have to check 3 different "prints".

    ive been allocated one too i noticed when i logged in. no information, can anyone tell me if it includes 3d as well as standard? I am trying to work out from times if I will have 2 or 3 to do and if it is really viable as looks like i might have 3 but I will be there over 2 hours and not sure how thats viable really :confused: unless i am of course completely confused!

    It probably will include the 3d one, it did last time - I had similar situation went for a meal between start times this time I'll probably end up doing some shopping at the local supermarket's if I have the same thing. Better go check the timings myself actually - need to decide which is best to do after work on which evening.

    If it helps the staff at the place I did last time were lovely, the manager was new and hadn;t come across it before but the girl I spoke to at the ticket desk knew exactly what was going on and gave me a pair of 3d specs (if have to do the 3d screen get some or you'll end up with a right headache!)/

    The lass told me on the phone there was 2 2D and 1 3D. I've checked the cinema times online and the 2D ones are only showing on Thursday - I'll need to take a day off work now......and it's going to take 3 hours :eek:

    I have just had a phone call too - very nice man :) It is my first one too so I only applied for one (one in another local town is up for grabs too). I'll do that first and and then see. I am looking forward to it too.

    Can one of you lovely people who have done them before give us newbies a quick run down on what we do? x I am presuming from the title of the assignment that we check the various screens to see if "the" film trailer is being run or not? or are we checking which trailers are running alongside "the" film? I really don't know :(

    You basically note what trailers are showing before the film, when you get the notes it'll be really clear, writing up you have to say what the trailer was, and what group it belonged in.

    That's fab :) thanks scubangel. It just gives me an idea of what is expected. I can't open my notes until Wed pm!

    Hi everyone, hope you are well
    Is it just my area or has MS suddenly gone really quiet. Got very little booked in for this week. How about everyone else?
