Exhibition construction day 2-4

The original concept a lot has changed, the clean and organic life to the portfolio was difficult to maintain especially for something like moss, the original concept would have worked, but it retained a powerful smell which would not be very appealing to the audience. So we brainstormed a new idea, this newly built idea is a much stronger concept and looks more appealing. It took much more time and effort; however it is being sorted and is looking very appealing. The idea of using wooden pallets even though it’s a cheap material, the beauty of an exhibition is to make things look attractive. 

Exhibition research : 3D rooms

These are some 3D test models, to  showcase what we originally wanted the rooms to look like, however the idea did change.  The rooms mainly stayed with the same overall concept, the only difference is the walls and flooring has completely changed from black to other elements and or colours, the flooring is going to be made out of wood, and the walls have been altered to white instead of black. This makes more sense with the room, because of the colour palette chosen. The coloured walls in the other room is nearly the same, the coloured walls on the sides are actually hung up banners to help promote the students work further.

The artwork and stands are going to be lit with LED  strips, this helps portray different moods to the room, remember each colour represents a different mood, however we need to be careful applying this method, especially since people might feel uneasy due to the many different colours in the room. 

Exhibition Fundraising part 2

As mentioned previously, one of the fundraising projects was to create father’s day cards; here are a few cards that got chosen from the majority. Since father’s day is around the corner, these cards will help out. Particularly, because of the location, we will be selling them at such as the campus, when the students are going to be in campus receiving their results we are going to take this as an opportunity and sell the cards. If we decide to take this further, we might be selling these cards, to public places, because of any remaining cards and so on.

The reason why we did this father’s day card event, is because the mother’s day cards worked out very well, it would be great if this assist us further with the fundraising, because even if we have enough money for the exhibition, it is always better to have a few extra money in store just in case things break, or someone adds in to an idea, which would cost us more.

Exhibition: Sponsors

Sponsors mainly help with gathering resources for practically free. What is in it for the people trying to sponsors you?  People like to be advertised, and if the items you would want is to  particular interest too many others for example: an item such as decoration like plants, a lot of people are interested in gardening, or plants, it is something people can start and learn about and it is not restricted to anything, so if a person does like the decoration and is thinking to decorate their homes, they would want to know where to get it from, this helps the sponsor by attracting more costumers without doing any forms of campaigns to market or advertise themselves. There’s plenty of ways to get sponsors, one is to mainly ask around or get someone to help get sponsors for you.  This someone maybe is a person who knows tactics more, or knows people from the businesses you are trying to get objects from. 

In our exhibition,  we are trying to receive ferns, tires, wooden pallets, paint, lights and so on, each are coming from different companies, and we have managed to mainly get all these things from different businesses, with either a return back, or they have freely given them to us, just approach smiling, friendly and ask them if they could help with sponsoring these items and if they can great, if not move on to other companies, it is always better to try and save money, even if you are not a student. 

Exhibition : Fundraising

To set up an exhibition, one needs to use money, whether it is to buy paint, lights, construct things, nothing is free, but fundraising is an option that can aid you set up a better exhibition. Fundraising can be done differently, for example: throwing a party with popular DJs (the exact prices need to be negotiated with this person, for example 20% of every ticket sold). It could be a simple event such as water balloon fights, selling drinks, foods or sweets and so on. Fundraising is better done in a group in terms of management and raising money; it also helps out if you could also advertise the exhibition while you’re trying to gather the money. 

As creatives we decided to create father’s day cards and sell them to students and other individuals along the way. Not only does fundraising helps you collect money, but it also a way of advertising yourself the exhibition it might even get you fans, because of the particular interests they would have with the topic.

Exhibition thoughts - group work Part 8

I started to edit the video into the following sections the basic shots and creating interesting transitions from one another, the point of this was to have a continuous motion throughout the entire thing, we met up enough times to discuss the exhibition. This gave me a lot of footage to work with, enough meet ups to declare the end result of the exhibition. The style of editing is going to be similar to previous year’s exhibitions, I am attempting to give the video more interest with carefully constructed shots that build a story line to the exhibition and this will hopefully be displayed by the type of shots chosen.

These are the basic shots I’ll be using, over the shoulder, close up, extreme closes up and mid shots. 

Exhibition thoughts - group work Part 7

We split into different type of roles in order to complete our tasks and I was personally assigned to record the process, help brainstorm for new ideas, give perspective about the newer ideas. In constructing the tasks, I started working on a rough storyboard. The storyboard was sketched for me to follow the exhibition, I then decided to detail the storyboard, at least start to make it cleaner, the only reason for this was to keep a clear mind of how the footage should look like, my intentions is to create something that would construct interest within the audience, and this would have to be carefully placed in order for the advertisement of the exhibition to be successful, because it’s a way of increasing the audience and their perspectives towards the exhibition.
