So it’s mid-semester break now and things are going smoothly!
I meet up with Mia and Matt on Monday to complete the cut of the promo video and to cut the footage into bite size clips to upload on Instagram and the other social medias. The end result of the promo video is fantastic and I can’t wait for everyone to see it! The plan is to tease out the video this week in the mid-semester break and the Monday we get back in week 7, we will upload the full video!
We also were able to print out the posters and cover building 9 in them, so when everyone gets back to Uni next Monday, the posters will already be up for everyone to see.
The social media team has begun there promotion across the various social media accounts we are using and it looks great! Alois has been writing most of the posts and sourcing the fantastic articles about our guests for audience to get excited about. Mardy has been uploaded our bite size videos on the RMIT Adventure instagram page as well as the other pages and Karen has been tweeting away on our HeroinesOfMedia twitter page. I also created a facebook event for our seminar and got our group members to invite all their friends and family! And so far we have 120 people attending on the event, hooray! (Who knows if that many people will actually come but still it shows great support from friends and family and fellow students!).
I also did a bit of craft shopping this week as I have a plan to make all my group members badges to wear on the day! I think it looked so fantastic that the TV seminar group had the RMITV crew member tshirts on, it really unified them and showed they were a team! So my more quick and simple version of this will be to create pink badges that either say ‘Heroines of the Media Industry’ or ‘♀‘, I am asking my group members which they like better first.
I’m also in the process of organising a day before our seminar next week just to go over everything one last time and hopefully our tutor Shelley will be able to join us. Everyone has been assigned a role on the day but I also want to spilt the group up in different teams such as, Lighting & Equipment team, Stage setup team, Catering team and Guest Liason team. So this way everyone knows what they will be setting up/packing down when it comes to it. As much as I love that we will be properly lighting our set, I am also worried about time, so I want to try and make this as smoothly run as possible and if everyone knows exactly what to do then hopefully this will work out to plan! I also just want to make sure everyone understands their role for the day of the seminar production and what they will need to do. And lastly we will need to discuss the process of post-production and getting that all completed!
Finally this week we all have been brainstorming questions Prani will ask the guests, this is something I will have to go over with Prani before the seminar so we are all on the same page.
Not long to go now!
