THE AFTERMATH

After the event I sent Gemma an email thanking her for her great talk. It felt great to have achieved such a big role for myself. I had been really nervous about letting my class down , but I got really good feedback from my classmates and received this email from Tim Hammond, the teacher at Bath City College.


Chloe,

This is just to let you know that we all had an excellent time at the event
that you and your team organised for us on Friday. Please accept our thanks!

The key to success I think was the enthusiasm and good humour of everyone
involved. It's great for me to be able to take my students out to places
where they can meet new people and ideas in a friendly, energetic
environment.

We also feel very privileged to have been spoken to by your two contrasting
speakers - equally informative and inspirational in their different ways.

If it were ever possible to do something for Bath Spa students using what we
have here in town, we'd love to return the favour. We have a big studio and
a number of very competent and reliable students more than ready to take up
positions as part of any production crew.

Keep in touch,



Tim


Not only was it a great experience, I felt i learnt a lot from the day too, and I'm glad all the hard work is over!!

THE BIG DAY

*PHOTOS CURTSEY OF LESLEY GITTINGS*

We arrived on the misty morning of the 8th , it was strange being at University so early, and seeing only the CMP class coming from all angles of the campus.




Everyone arrived and went to their separate rooms to set up. I based myself in MH 111 as this was where the first event was happening and I wanted to overlook the 'dressing' of the room. The Student Ambassadors arrived and i briefed them on the following day.



I was really nervous about my initial opening speech. I went through it a few times with various people in MH 111.
The Students were a bit late so I had to think about the Schedule, everything would have to be bumped forward, I started to realise how important timing is for this role and spoke to Carlina about the possibility to make the icebreakers faster. I had allocated 15 minutes to walk to their first room as well so I knew we could eat into that a bit as it wouldn't take that long.

The Students arrived , so we welcomed them in, and I began the speech, I had to keep reminding myself to not cross my legs when standing, as this would make the beginning speech not as powerful.
Our Epic/funny video was shown that Mike had filmed and edited, it was so funny to watch everyone! click here
Once I had done it I felt great, and it seemed silly that I had worried about it. Once this was out the way it was time to focus on the running of the event.




So Carlina took over to do the icebreakers and I sent of the people who were in charge of the activity rooms of to their rooms so they could be prepared for the arrival of their groups.

So the groups went off and started their activities! i realised whilst going round the rooms that I had not organised in which order the room change would go so I quickly ran to each of the rooms and told the 'walk around's' which room they were to go to next.

I was visiting each of the rooms and everthing seemed to be fine until I bumped into Lesley and she informed me that there was a hitch in the Green Screen room, I rushed up to find the technology wasnt working and the students were looking a little bored, and unluckily Tim the teacher was in this room ! I spoke to Ant and Simon and asked the severity of the problem and if we had to cancel this activity overall. I was racking my brains trying to think what to do, I pulled Mandy and James out of the room and said there was to be a change of plan.. instead the activity would be 'how to set up a green screen', i told Mandy to find a video on You tube about green screen and then have a game in which there is a flat image behind them ( this was all they could get on the screen) and get the studnets to act as if they were reporters having to relay some urgent news, to see how they would cope on the other side of the camera.
Just as I told them this Ant came through and said he had it working so we decided to do half the new idea and half the old.
It was hard working under pressure like that , but I was happy I had managed to come up with an idea there and then.

After the crisis had been averted I carried on my role of overlooking and answering various queries from my class and Student Ambassadors.
I edited the schedule as well as the event had been pushed forward and relayed this to the activity rooms.

A photographer named Llyod from Bath Chronicle came, I was delighted as this had been our brief to make this event attract Media attention. i took him around the various rooms and spoke to him about the event. It was so exciting to know that our class has organised something that was worthy of media attention.

Lunch came around, I set up, with the help from James and Claire, NAG03 ready for the afternoon speakers.
Andy Roberts arrived so James and I greeted him and then I met Gemma at her Car parking space which I had reserved. We prepared to room and spoke to the Guest speakers. When the Students returned I introduced the speakers and then listened to a great 2 talks which were inspiring for me as much as the BTEC media students.

Once the talks had finished it was great to see the work that the students had done on the projector, ( although sadly on the projector the lighting did not work in our favour) this really showed what had been accomplished today, it was great.

Whilst Ross was handing out the Evaluation forms I changed into the mortar board and Hat Lesley had managed to rent for me, I stood at the top of a flight of stairs awaiting the students, when everyone congregated outside I came down and awarded them with certificates. This was so much fun!






I felt so proud when the day had come to a close , we had managed to put on an event, and I for one had never done anything like this before. I really think we worked well as a class.

We had a de-brief after celebrating the end of the event, Lesley's feedback was positive which was great, I learnt that I should have given more time to the Event Pack in my initial speech as there had been so much effort put into it.
I learnt so much in being the C.E.O of the Event, and I was so happy that I had gone for the role as I really felt proud afterwards. It seemed worth the hard work on the lead up

THE RUN THROUGH

On the 6th I had organised a big run though of the whole day.

We started with the green screen, there was lots of technical difficulties and it was looking like a bit of a risk. It looked great with the green screen and light all there but it was taking a long time to set up.

Whilst the technicals were still sorting out this, the Shoot out took stage and we sat and watched their activity. It seemed like fun , but there was still a lot more work to put into it. The Event is two days away and worry is starting to kick in.

After the Shoot out he Big Draw was set up. Patrick was a really good speaker and this activity seemed very controlled. There was some really fun elements to it using 2D and 3D and little films to inspire the students as well. This looked great.

i spoke to Ant afterward and he said that the technical side would be okay and is now under control.
All the teams are going to meet up tomorrow to finalise their activities.

It looks like its going to be hard work. We have a strong structure for the day and I think with good time keeping and enthusiasm it going to go well.

Ahh its in a day !

5th April. The Speakers Practice

Today went really well, Lesley came too and we all went over our speeches and helped each other to make them sound better.

We found out today that we had to ask technical east to come and open the projector for us. I'm so glad we found this out now and not on the day when it would be too late.

I had found out previously that we couldn't have this room for the whole day anymore so we will change to NA G03 for the afternoon. I also had booked STG03 for the Big Draw as I think it would be too long to walk between the Main House and the other side of the campus between each activity.

4th April. The day before speakers practice

In preparation for tomorrow I Wrote out things that the speakers of the event need to include in their talks , as they are in charge of the room and with that the activity , it is important they cover all bases so the students can follow instructions clearly.

Tomorrow is going to be in MH 111 so it will give me a chance to see it again and also think about how the room should be set.

4th April

Today Brad and I Went to 'The RELAYS' (Regional Educational Legacy for Arts and Youth Sport)project.

This project seeks to engage young people in the South West in sporting and cultural events in the run up to the London 2012 Games. Led by Universities South West, through a network of regional universities and cultural organisations, RELAYS aims to blend youth sport and cultural in a vibrant mixture of activities across the region in the build up to the 2012 Games.
It is funded by Legacy Trust UK, an independent charity that has been set up to help build a lasting cultural and sporting legacy from the 2012 Olympic Games and HEFCE (The Higher Education Funding Council for England).


Brad and I had decided to come to see how a media event pans out. There was so much organisation involved, the children were split up into groups and revolved around different activities. This is very similar to what we are doing, so we took notes.

As Brad and I were filming, we were 'the media' so it was interesting to see what would be attractive for the media, this would give us more of an idea how to entice media to our event.

We noticed it was sometimes hard for them children to concentrate for the whole time , so we have to make sure that we create activities that are fast paced,not to ambitious and fun.

This was a really great day and really helped get us into the mindset of organising an event.

the 30th

I had organised a Run through of the other two activities today.
The Big Draw and the Green Screen activity.

I was slightly nervous about today , because this was the proof that we could get these activities up and running and that it would be possible on the day.

James and I picked up the equipment and set it out to practice.

We hadn't got a Green Screen yet, we are only able to get that on the full run through on Wednesday 6th and on the actual event, Friday 8th. With this in mind it was much harder to see technically how the green Screen activity would work, but Ant managed to download some programs which work well with a moving subject.

The Big draw was being timed and Leonie and I practiced drawing a tree, Brad Leonie and I practiced ways in which it could be made more exciting and time efficient. By making a strict and fast countdown till one had to jump out of the frame to take a photograph made it much more lively and kept everyone to a consistent schedule.

The Green Screen was taking shape and they seemed confident for the day. I spoke to both Simon and Patrick about how they would structure their speech and what videos, if any, they would show to bring examples of professional work to go along with their activity.

Mike was filming for the Epic/Funny Video, it was fun seeing everyone's little scenes. I think this brings more of a group feel to this project and its something we can take away with us and remember. It was really fun doing the scene each and thinking of a way to make it funny.

I had a talk with the big draw people and Esther, and in a group we had a talk how to make the activity more tangible and how to use the time allotted more effectively. We came to the conclusion that there should be two different types of animation , pen on paper, and using objects. This gives the students a chance to practice two completely different types of animation. Claire and Esther are going to ,over the coming week, think of what objects that could be used, e.g. plasticine etc.

I feel today wen't really well, everyone was involved and seemed to be enjoying what they were doing. Everyone was discussing ways to make the event better, or improving their activity, I think seeing this group work today made me less nervous about things working on the actual day as everyone seemed to want to be involved and there is such a mix of skills in our group it seems if someone can't do something, another person can help.

I enjoyed working with everyone together instead of in small groups at a time as this also showed what it will be like on the day.
I spoke to Annie about how each of the activities would be structured and she is going to write up a detailed schedule of each activity. It feels like all the organisation is coming together,and the event feels more real now!

29th March College Visit

James and I went to Brad's house to practice what we were going to say to the students at Bath City college today.

I wrote a script and transferred it onto cue cards and we did a few practices in his house.

I was SO nervous when we arrived at Bath City College, we met Ed aswell and went to meet Tim Hammond.

We spoke to Tim briefly about the event as we walked to the classroom. Once we entered I was really nervous but manged to remember my speech and then answered questions that the students had.
We gave Tim the posters that Leonie, Lee and Esther had designed and then I took down their emails so then we could send any information to them.

I had imagined the students to be much younger, and they seemed so close in age to us, this made me worry about our event being to patronising, so I am making sure that I speak to the people organising the activities to warn them about this.

When I arrived back home I emailed Esther the classes email addresses and asked her to send each of the students a personal invite to their account.

29th March Shoot out practice

Today I had organised a 'Shoot out' practice.

All the people that were involved in this event met me to go over the structure of this activity and how it will run. This is quite an ambitious activity so planning is essential.

Firstly I addressed Tom's talk. He is running the room and so we worked on what he would talk about and time which is good for a speaker.

I then spoke to the to actors Rachel and Keiran. We decided it would be good for the students to dictate what the actors should do. They were really up for it and enthusiastic, i think this is going to be a really great activity.
Rachel said she would get some barrels of Hay to dress the room with a western feel.

I felt better after talking to them as it seemed more organised now, this was going to have to have a lot of organisation, as it is a time consuming activity.

This film will be shown and they will try to create something like this: click here

The Phone Call

I am really not good on the phone.
I don't have much confidence with holding professional conversations on the telephone, but as C.E.O of this event I have responsibilities I have to take.

Today I phoned Gemma Hunt to talk about the event.

To my surprise the phone call went really well. We spoke about the angle of the event and I told her what was going to happen.
We discussed her fee and her time of arrival.
I asked her to bring visuals for her talk as I thought this would be very beneficial for the class and she said she would find some for the day.

Aside from all the professional issues we also had a chat about university , her past and what we are doing now.

I felt like I had really accomplished something after the phone call.

I followed up by emailing her a map of the university, directions and a schedule of the day.

It feels so real now that we are getting actual professionals to come to our event!

Schedule

15/03/2011 MEETING WITH BRAD

Today I discussed with Brad the possibility of having Gemma Hunt to be a guest Speaker.
Is she a good person to relate to Students
Will they recognise her
Will her talk have the right content for what we are trying to put across
Will she bring in the Media attention.

I had spoken to some of my peers who had met her in a previous project and they said she was charismatic, not patronising and interesting. I personally feel she would be a good addition to the Media event, I had mentioned her in class also and had a good response.
Once speaking to Brad he felt the same, so after the meeting I was to write an email to her ( Lesley had asked her if I could contact her).

The rest of our meeting was about delegating.
We had both compiled a list in which we included all the 'Pre Event' Roles we could think of.

I sent the List to Helen Goldsworthy, Widening Participation Coordinator, to see if she thought the list was okay and if she could think of any roles to add these were her suggestions:

book rooms and porters if the tables and chairs need to be added or taken away, and also to let Security and Central Services know about the event, via WMS systems.

Other than that, ensure you are aware of fire exits, fire location points if the alarm goes off, and the nearest first aiders to the rooms you are using.


Brad and I continued to delegate to which groups we should give what tasks. The group leaders from each of the groups could then filter these down onto the best person they felt would be for the job.

I started writing out briefs for each of the tasks. I found it quite hard to delegate at first but know I'm getting into the hang of it , and explaining what needs to be done.

Tomorrow I am having a meeting with each of the Team Leaders Esther, James and Brad. This is what we need to discuss:
Roles and delegations
The Green Screen activity - what else can we do to make sure we correctly fill the 45 mins
Food and Travel for the Students - How will we manage this
Guest Speakers - Who else will we get, we need to finalise soon!
The Media, Who and How are we going to attract them.
As I am talking to Tim Hammond about the event on Thursday , I want us to discuss exactly what information I should give him.

ANGLE

This will be the Angle of the event. All the Leaders are happy with it and once speaking about it with the class, they agree with the way the event will go.

Angle for BTEC Students

Fun and Educational

The reason we are holding the event for the students is to give them an insight to ‘higher education’ from their course they are studying now. This is an opportunity for students to see what their future could be and for them to decide if it is for them. As the fees have risen it is important to show the students the importance of university and to hopefully encourage them to come even though it will be harder financially.

The Angle we will be putting on the actual day will be to have a slightly ‘ Apprentice theme’.
We will have 3 main activities and with this we will set them a task in which they work against the clock to create a media piece.
This brings fun and competition to the day but also shows them the reason they would actually come to university, which is to get a job in the media with stick deadlines, but creativity and team work.

As this day is showing them their possible future there will be talks from people from the industry, talks from people on the university course and possibly a talk from MP Don Foster to discuss fees rising, in which the students can ask questions about their future.



Angle for the Media Attention

Fees Rising

The angle we will take to attract media attention to our event will be by promoting our event as ‘ encouraging students to go on to higher education despite the rising fees’.
As their are job cuts at the moment we can be seen as educating the students that getting a degree is useful for their future.

After the students have done their activities there will be talks with various ‘celebrities’ / ‘names’ in the media to attract media attention and coverage, as well as a possibility of politicians talking about a matter that is in the public eye at them moment.

As this is a relevant topic it is more likely to be covered, and the fact that celebrities can be involved brings the media along as they can put a face to the event.

Questionaire

This is a Questionnaire for the BTEC Students so we can see what areas of Media they are interested in.



I will either email to Tim Hammond for the Students to complete, or visit them in person and give it to them to fill out.

BVE 16 th Feburary Broadcast Event

Today I went to Broadcast Video Expo at Earls court 2 to see an event in action. This is a Large Media event which showcases all new technology, equipment and software.

Not only was this very interesting to see the different tutorials and the expensive and high tech equipment, it was so interesting to see how this event worked.

This is different to the Event we will be holding as we will be involving people in certain activities, and here you could go up to whichever booth you wanted to.

What I did take from the event was how the booths that looked really attractive and had welcoming people inside made me much more interested in visiting them. So I think as we will have different rooms for different activities we should dress them all in different styles, have interesting equipment to showcase and to make sure everyone is really enthusiastic.

In the future I want to go to other events to get more inspiration for our own.

IDEA FOR THE EVENT...

Thinking about how the day should be structured heres one idea.

Start :
Welcome and Hellos
Inspirational Talk
Split into two groups: 1 does Photo-marathon and other does filming.
Lunch
Swap over activities
Questions/reflection talk with them
Give them a CD record of the day
Goodbyes


Problems with this:
Photo marathon - the students aren't allowed to wonder by themselves , would be hard to do a photo marathon and keeping student ambassadors with them at all times.

Is the day too bland?

Should the talk be at the beginning - should it be at end instead as a round up.

Would only two activities not have enough coverage of their preferred media.
The media in our uni is:
Photography, Script Writing, Filming, music production, Radio, Graphics, pre production,sound design, editing.

We should look into what they are doing at the moment and link our event to that.
We should showcase as much as possible.

We should get some really relevant guest speakers.

I had an idea which I told to Esther, We should all wear T-shirts and on them have our name and what our 'specialty' is, so if one of the students wants to talk to someone about photography they would know who to go to.

Helen Goldsworthy

Helen Goldsworthy, Widening Participation Coordinator (Aim Higher) came in to discuss the Media Event with us as she has put of Bath Spa Media Events before, and has done so with the same age group we are holding our Event for.

She has held campus visits, school events, 3 day summer schools, and with this knowledge she gave us some tips.

Clear up totally after the event
Book room to have an hour in front and at end to Rig and De-Rig.
Have a black bin bag in each room.
If you upset the support staff they don't let event happen in the future, so be careful.
Talk to the PR department for media coverage - Talk to Peter Cullimore, he would want to see a copy before it goes anywhere.
Tessa Oulton is the head of marketing for prospective students, she would be good to get on board.
Contact marketing for contents of goody bag
A good ply is to give the students the goody bag after they fill in the evaluation form , to make sure it gets done.
Do a test run.

Helen has also said I can contact her with any questions. It is good to know there is someone who has done Bath Spa Events before that I can talk to .

Class 04/02/2011

We looked into Leadership Today.
Who would be a good Leader for our media Event?

Brainstorm of famous Leaders ( Good/Bad/Other):

Churchill, Obama, Hitler, Spielberg, Martin Luther King, Margret Thatcher, Alan Sugar, Donald Trump, Jesus, Desmund Tutti, Murdoch, Richard Branson, Alex Ferguson, The Queen, Gok Wan, Mandela.

...Qualities a Leader should have:

Inspiring, Charismatic, Good communicator, Organiser, Pleasant appearance, Delegator, Confident, Taking control, Strong beliefs, Problem solving, Manipulative?, Clever, speaker, command respect, unity/calm, teams, good posture, body language, authority, Responsible, Fairness, Honesty, Passionate, Integrity, Sincear, Do what they say they are going to do, Openness, being able to listen, take responsibility for their team, if there's a task you don't go to bed till it's done.


We then did a vote for whom should be the Media Event C.E.O.

The Names that came up were Brad , Chloe(me), James, Esther, Mandy.

We then did an activity where we were given a list of people we had to choose to send off on a filming expedition. We had to look at their profiles on paper and choose who would be best as a team to go to film polar bears in the wild.
This was good to test our strengths on putting groups together and compromising on people skills/technical skills etc, this was a fun task , but also made it clear that the teams in the Media Event should be chosen well so we can get the best out of each other for the day.

After this task there was a re vote.

I was chosen to be the C.E.O of the Media Event. I was very excited, but at the same time apprehensive and I don't want to let my class down. I hope I do a good job.

Planning

Things to Bear in Mind Whilst planning the Event:

CRITERIA :

New building open
An Award

Create a Buzz

Fees Rising
Student Protests

We need to make sure that the Event is varied and there is lots of choice so the all the students are interested in an area/ don’t get bored/ no one feels left out.

Make them feel special - Greeted, ticked off a list, Welcome, drink for while they are waiting.
Make sure they are always doing something and feel involved. Move about but make sure they are supervised at all times- Student Ambassadors ( Have at least 2)
(Smoking Laws : Are they allowed to smoke/ can they smoke on Campus /is it in their collages Rules)

If they arrive early make sure they are not just waiting around... Have a POA.

Give the Students a Schedule so they know what to expect. know when Lunch is.

Who is coming from their collage - Just their teacher Tim Hammond or a assistant as well?

Have a Personality ( Celebrity type )/Professional - this will attract Media and interest Students.

Make a Questionnaire for the students to complete - give us more of an idea what they are interested in.

Go and Visit them before the event, so they know who we are, they can ask us questions.

We have a Budget of £ 200 , do we need to pay personality / food?/Travel/ hiring out equipment. Make sure someone is in charge of Budget.

The Personality - Who can we get? would they be more likely to come for a charity.
LOCAL DREAM BOX:
Skins Cast
Noel Edmunds
Russell Howard
Nicholas
Anthony Head
Bill Bailey

The Media - Who can we attract?

Bath Chronicle
BBC
Mayor of Bath
Points West ITV/BBC Local

Red Nose Day / Comic Relief - get them to follow our story.

Sean Geoghegan - Director who helped us with previous project. He could talk to Students about how he got into the job he is in today, and advise for the students.

Could we have a Band playing on the day , this could interest media and Students, we could also use it as an activity to film the band alike to the multi camera shoot we have done in another module.

Use a Green Screen - Tell the weather/Breaking news.
Could We possibly use the Lecture Theatre NE 101 that already has a Green Screen in it.

The planning beggins

Our Project is to create a Media Event for BTEC Media students from Bath College.

Our class was split into 4 groups. I joined Kirsty, Mike, Edem, Tom and Annie.

All the groups were to come up with three ideas each, these are the ideas:

The Big Draw: Huge piece of paper in which they all draw on, create a stop motion piece that they can all watch afterward.
Dual Camera : one would be the animation ( the picture 'becoming'), the other would see the people moving.

Advert: Create an advert for radio or television. Give them a jingle. Let them come up with ideas then create it as a group. Split into 4 groups of 5 so they are all doing something.

The News: Create a News feature and invite people from points west to also give a talk about their profession. The students could present the weather using green screen, others could be part of a filming team in the studio or on location.

Short Film: Making a one or two minute film, certain people from the industry could come and give a talk( e.g. Sean Geoghegan ) to discuss his inspirations and what he does.

Multi camera: 2 camera unit acoustic set, they can all be involved.

Interview: Interviewee Ed Whicher from our class, the student could take roles such as camera man and sound.

Charity:Could tie in the event with red nose day and get the red nose day film crew to film our event to add hype. OR create a charity for our university as the fees are going up this would tie in well and we could possibly create hype and ask famous people to come and join in.

Green Screen: Focus on Green Screen, make a music video. A friend of theirs worked on Coraline with CGI, they could give a talk and a demo.

Dress up film: Dress up as cowboys ad film the stand off, explain how to film it ( e.g. the close up of the eyes) and then let them do it.

Radio Debate: Their aunt is a producer at BBC West she could be a speaker.

Bath Life: Greg can give a talk, put in a magazine article and publish.

These our the ideas we are working on. We need to do research into what the students would want and develop these ideas for the event.

I am excited about the project commencing!
