Media Event - Friday 3rd Feb 2012

Our new assignment…to hold a media event for Bath College 'CMP' Students! 
As research, we discussed what a media event was and when they are held. This is the list we came up with: 

·      Launches – e.g. cars, i.phone, ships, software, FILM, books, awards (BAFTAS), music, video games, opening of shops, university openings, schools, art exhibitions, festivals, theatre shows (first night), charity (comic relief, galas, marathons), sport (Olympics, 6 nations, world cup), products and retail.

What does a media event involve?
·      Venue
·      Reason
·      Needs colour
·      Need to be interesting
·      Attract target audience
·      Attract the media
·      Needs an event activity
·      Needs promotion

How money is made?

·      Marketing is the key – everyone has the web to promote their work – get it out there using blogs and twitter
·      The Production Show – The largest event for TV and film professionals in the UK – how do they promote it? www.theproductionshow.co.uk

The Event
FRIDAY 23R MARCH 

·     Research how people organise a media event
·     Find examples that you find interesting that could/have been done
·     Bring it to the class next week 

I am definitely looking forward to this, and as I am on the production/organisation team I feel I will be able contribute well and benefit the event.
