Media Event Lesley 5001 25th February

Today in Lesley's lecture we discussed how the Media Event is going to progress. We started off discussing the individual roles of members of the group and who would specialise in which area.

The areas that we included are technical, marketing and and ideas and organising. I found to be more suitable in the organising group as well as liaising with the technical group as my role would involve setting up and rigging equipment for the event when the BTEC students arrive for the activity.

Also as well as preparing questionnaires and a shedule for the day so that the group has something to look at and see what they are going to be doing for the day. Chloe [Leader], James ]Technical], Esther [Marketing] and Brad [Ideas and Organising] are the leaders of each of the group. We then split up in our individual groups and discussed the structure and the angle for the day.

The Schedule for the day is as follows:

9.15-Icebreakers

9.30-Group Division

9.50-1st Activity

10.15-Second Activity

11.00-3rd Activity

Media Event Lesley 5001 Friday 4th February

Today in Lesley's lecture as a group we discussed what makes a good leader in a team as in a couple of months we are planning a media event for BTEC students at Bath College. The discussions of what makes a good leader varied from confident, responsible, passionate and a good listener.

Next we split up into our individual teams which we were in last week and we were set the task of deciding the perfect film crew for a documentary being commissioned by BBC2 called "Plight of the Polar Bears".

These were the choices:

  • Richard Hastie as the camera man as he has won awards for Wild Life Photography.
  • Ingrid Gunsten as she speaks a variety of languages such as English, French and Russian, she has a good track record in research and has written many books on the destruction of the planet.
  • Brian Mccormack, Producer/Director, very experienced producer. He has worked with David Attenborough . He is reliable and knows how to keep up team spirit.
  • Sven Magnesson, who owns and works dog sleighs and is a survival expert.
