Awards Evening Evaluation
We couldn’t use the original ‘Shaft’ song for our advert because of legal and copyright reasons. This was due to the fact that we were going to record it as a radio advert which means many people would hear it. We also had to make it professional because this was for a Media Awards and was representing the College; this also meant using the right type of language that wasn’t going to be offensive.
For an evening event I was on live team working the laptop so I didn’t have any constraints on the night.
Leadership wasn’t a strong point for me but I was able to follow each instruction given to me as well as each challenge, but I guess in some way for the actual live event it was only me controlling the laptop which produced some leadership qualities within me. I felt this was successful because it meant that I did my job to a consistent level, this included doing tasks like graphics and animations whilst using programmes like Adobe Photoshop and Monkey Jam.
In our group we only had one proper meeting and that was on the first day. We went to a room and brainstormed ideas in a group, after this we then split ourselves into different groups of teams that would work on each different section of Post Production. I think this was done well because from that meeting we all knew what we were doing each lesson. But rather than formal meetings we would just have a group discussion just so we could update each other on where we were up to.
Before the night I was working with Post Production which meant getting all the graphics for the night sorted out. The timescale for this was very tight because we had the most amount of work to do out of anyone. We did however meet those deadlines and finished in time but it was tight. This was the same as the radio advert really. If I was to do the radio advert and awards evening again I would make sure I had a larger timescale to do all the work, enough time extra that when finished we had time to spare.
The feedback I had received was when the show finished; my job for the night was to work the laptop and basically playing and pausing between each award. This was a very important job for the night because without it the show would have been plain, boring and confusing. I feel that my final contribution was acceptable considering that I never had a run through practice with the timings, so in a way I was working blind. I did have a script next to me to follow which helped me know the timings so I could either pause or play the CD-ROM depending what part of the awards evening we were at.

Hawth Recce Assessment
Today we went down to the Hawth Theatre to do a Recce Assessment for our particular job. This was for our live Media Awards evening which we will be doing on June 23rd.
My job was on the Live Sound so there were certain things i had to look out for. Examples of this would be where to put cameras, lighting set-ups, what tech used and the health and safety for this.
Some of the two main equipment for the night would be:
Allen and Heath GL3300 sound desk
Strand 300 Series lighting desk

Award & Events Poster examples
The Oscars:
This is an example of a Film awards poster which is The Oscars. This poster is very simple but works really well. The choice of colours associate with The Oscars and the use of the single picture in the centre stands out well. The picture is of an 'Oscar' which is the award they give out. The background is loads of famous film quotes in various texts and sizes in the signature 'Oscar Gold' whilst slowly fading down out to black. On the whole i think this is an excellent poster, its a simple yet effective idea that works well.
The Balcony TV Music Video Awards
This poster is an example of a music video awards. This poster compared to The Oscars one has a lot more on it in terms of pictures and layering. The choice of colours makes it stand out with the use of orange, red, black, yellow and white. There is a main centre picture of a guitar with wings coming from the side of it, along with this there are several smaller guitars round that with other pictures which appear to be small speakers. I really like this poster because of its design and i feel that the choice of colours along with the arty look of the pictures makes it jump out.
