For our media event i have been assigned to the technical group. So it is our job to make sure all equipment is booked, the rooms run smoothly, and we all know the exercises well enough to know how to get round any unexpected errors. Our groups role is more based around the event than pre production, and we will have the most work to do on the day. Although we will have more to do in the weeks before the event, than in early pre production.
So at the same time i haven't really had much to do in the earlier weeks, apart from help with ideas at the start before we were all assigned roles. I came up with the idea of doing the shoot out, in front of a green screen, but using the students teachers instead, i thought this would be good to do as an earlier exercise because it would break the ice, and make the students bond with us as we'd all have a funny medium to laugh at, rather than them feel like they were being put on the spot straight away. All the Ideas that revolved around practical activities were what i thought would be best, because i though back to when i was 16/17 and the last thing you want is to listen to people talk at you, you want to interact and learn in an entertaining way.
Brad came up with the big draw idea which i was keene on from the off, as its a fun and interactive activity and one which we are able to turn around and show them at the end of the day, and as suggested, give to them on DVD/USB key. I think this is important, because they will have something to take away with them, and can say they've achieved.
My individual role is to produce the final edits for The Big Draw, and burn to disk/USB drive if were going to be giving them out to the students. This will mean working under stressful conditions, and on multiple computers to get them all completed on time, which I am a little worried about because there is a lot that can potentially go wrong.
