Facebook Group

The Exhibition Group has created a Facebook group which allows us to keep in touch when we are not at uni. Below is some ideas that I had thought about and posted to the group:

" Things I would like to exhibit:

·         Photographs from our Digital Imaging module (possibly including my dissertation photographs).

·         My sound piece from Advanced Sound Techniques (I know it’s not visual but I think it would be cool to have some kind of sound station!? Plus it is the one piece of work that I don’t mind sharing with randomers!).

·         Third one to be considered.

I like the idea of photographs of everyone; I’m thinking we could make it a little more interesting. Have you ever seen those photographs using a laptop with a picture of the image on? We could do a similar thing holding up a laptop with a picture of our face already on....that was hard to explain so I attached a link. I also have a D60 at home if it makes it easier? I’m not sure the studio is available still but perhaps we could do it in front of a brick wall for example to make it a bit more interesting than a white background (depending on theme). I’m literally just reeling off ideas here so feel free to shoot me down lol.

I am quite happy to put in £20 to help funds as putting money in our selves would save a lot of time and effort. At the end of the day I think it is a waste of time organising an event to make money to organise another event. If everyone is willing to do that it would give us around £600 to play with. I think £600 could get us far providing we haggle a few things.

I think there should be at least two people in charge of finances as more than that would probably be unnecessary.  This would be quite a big task but key decisions can be made as a group and then those in charge of the outgoings can way up what it would cost and if it is possible.

Maybe we should make a list of our strengths and weaknesses as individuals for  Wednesday and work out from there what the exhibition will need from us and who is best dealing with those tasks.

We should also decide on the important invites first. I’m not sure about you guys but I’d rather have companies with the potential to hire me there than family. We should have a group of around 3 to maybe take on this task? Contacting local companies such as Britvic (in Chelmsford and always advertising), Heart FM? I work for Cineworld who help Heart FM advertise, maybe I could have a word... May as well think big, what is there to lose? We could also get the graphics team to knock up some leaflets and go into companies. Persistence is key!

Definitely need to get an idea of space. Maybe we could take a trip to the mezzanine and get a visual then maybe try and speak to someone about floor plan."

• Today I emailed Martin Case to see if he would have an idea of where we can get the floorplans from.
