PROGRESS CRIT

Today we had a critique on what we have done so far with studio brief 2 and our progress so far.

I had a selection of boards on what I wanted to propose and create a wrote a selection of messages for my peers to answers.

1. Do you think the proposed deliverables are enough for the brief, or could you recommend any?

• There is a substantial amount of work I would consider including a t.shirt.
• Could have branded water bottles, way finding e.g campsite signage, stage graphics, staff and shirts.
• Like the idea of a survival kit, this hasn't been created for other festivals before.
• Include way finding and signage but there is deffinatley a good amount of proposed deliverables.
• Way finding ect, guide on lanyards w/acts, times locations ect.

2. What would you like to see / except at a music festival?

• A ball pit
• Perhaps more info about the line up and times schedules ect. this could be included in the survival kit which could be ant out with tickets.
• Music, food stalls, clothes shops, chargers, toilets, henna tattoos, other non music activities, bars.
• Along with bands I would like to see a lot of art sculptures, painting and posters. Activities, screen print work shop and places to chill, smaller tents, bars ect..
• Guerilla marketing or a promo video would be a good way to advertise.

3. Can you recommend what I can do to make my festival stand out. e.g theme, colour?

• Viral marketing
• Think BIG propose projections, massive banners, taxi vinyl adverts, could have sponsors.
• Different architecture, decor, secret gigs, could reveal information, secrets gigs on app shortly before they happen.
• Info pack with tickets, secret location and map and creative advertisements 

I also had an extended one on one crit with lorraine on what I could potentially look into for my brief. I explained my plan and what I wanted to propose and took some notes on her advice for the project.

• A festival abroad - why? 
• Different music genres to cater to a wider audience
• Stages and different acts
• International - people from the UK - local residents
• Look into online forums about festivals
• Whats applicable and not from your research
• Contact DFGA and Viscom or Andy and Martin form 3rd for video

I really found this crit beneficial with me finding out what I need to do next and consider for this brief. I decided to write out an action plan of things for me to complete for the brief in the form of a time sheet in order for me to work out my time effectively.
