Just a quick question for those of you who do work for a market solution company. Are you still getting a good choice of jobs to choose from? I haven't had anything available to me since I upset them a bit, before that I had a list of at least 8.
Hmm they tell me things are very quiet at the moment.

If it has the TV in the foyer (mainly the mainstream chains) I always arrive early and do that first as I find it is easier that way than have to hang about for 20 mins afterwards.

So, say the film is due to start at 8.15pm, if I get there at around 7.45pm will that be early enough, or should I go a little bit earlier. It's been ages since I've been to the cinema, and I can't remember how long adverts and trailers last!! Also, this is an independent one, so might not have the TVs.....

I haven't seen an independent with a TV so you should be ok there. All the ones I have done the ads/trailers start at the advertised time.

Adverts should be 25-30 mins, on average. I almost missed the "gold" one last time because I didn't realise it was any different from the other trailers...

My Independant in my town has a TV, I generally get to the cinemas 30min before start time as the brief states, and I find that the cinema have "projection list" which has the adverts and trailers written down so I use that to then write my wee notes on
