Media Industries 2 – Seminar Involvement Week 4
During the week 4 meeting I asked the team to spend some time devising the list of ideal guests and ordering them from most to least wanted. We developed a lengthy list and delegated who from the group had connections to which guests and were therefore going to make the first contact. Sarah offered to write the introductory email.
Contribution & Collaboration
I made contact with a friend of mine whose Aunty is the CEO of Film Victoria. My friend kindly passed on the info I gave him and got back to me with a personal email address that I was able to give Sarah. I helped develop the email template by adding in a few personal details. I also helped source contact details for Myf Warhurt’s management.
I took notes during the meeting along with Georgi and helped with the delegating tasks to complete before the next meeting. The team developed a rough running sheet that I drafted in the meeting minutes.
After the group was split into three teams (event management, research & promotion) I started conversations with both the event management team about the catering, event concept, gifts for the guests and budget. We have decided on cupcakes, sandwiches/quiches (that Zoe and I will make) and a $20 contribution from each group member.
I also started a discussion about the photo shoot for the poster. With Femme Fatale in mind I have came up with some film noir inspired ideas. I have offered to be behind the scenes and help with props, staging, lighting and photography.
Christine, Jono and myself have read the steering committee guidelines about the poster and will aim to get this ready as soon as the photo shoot is complete.
My roles as a member of the event management team include:
