Evaluation for show

How did you collect feedback about the show?
I chose the way to collect feedback by using envelopes. It connect to my theme travel. My original idea to collect feedback for the show was to use post cards, They can write what ever they want to write, then put it into a post-box, which I can make by myself.


What did the discussion group say about the show?
Well planing, but lost thinking in details. We could do it better but we didn't. In the end of exhibition, some of group members forgot their roles. Not good enough at live exhibition on internet, didn't update live show in time. Before we started the show, we had a short meeting with Jenny, who is the catering teacher. We had a discussion about what we going to made. My role was gave a hand for catering, the food is alright. people very enjoy it.


What were the strengths and weaknesses of the whole show?
 The Strength,
Performance group was great, because of them, our show has been very successful and professional. The organisation showed how we've planing to given up a fantastic show.
The Weakness,
Well planing, but implement needs to improve. Thing must be get ready before we started, but we didn't think in details.

What did people of different ages, genders and backgrounds think about your show?
I guess there were three age groups, 3-18years, 19-30years, 30+.

Why did people feel different ways about the show?
We were in the middle, betweent professional presenter and sparetime planner.

Hi, Target Audience

Age: 3-9 years old, 13-19 years old, 20-32 years old.
They are three age groups I am focus on.
3-9 years old child, they are a young age of target audience, most of them are girls. My character is a kind a lovely doll for girls. It looks cute, fashion, also with a strong deformability. Girls like to compare with dolls. My product could be something go to catch their eyesight. It doesn't matter they probably cannot understand the means of every photo. All I want is they can enjoy it by reading them also would like to be a part of my photo.


13-19 years old teenager, they start to think about their life, tryi to find a life style which they love to be. Love new things, high technical, something with different emotions, be unique, like to show. Teenager is a group carefree, most of teenagers no need to worry about to pay all the bills. No need to worry tomorrow is good or bad, they like to enjoy the moment right now. Sometimes, a little sadness likes salt of their life, although they are happy all the time. Study just a part of their teenager life, fall in love with someone who doesn't know, argue with parents, interested in being a cool person. They are looking forward to be an adult. My product just want to catch their eyesight, be a direction of their emotion, create a new style of life in their mind. Makes them want to be like photos.


20-32 years old, they are adult, they started to worry about their future, jobs, money, bills, also marriage. They started to review their childhood when their were carefree, no needs to worry all the bills, jobs, future, and money. When people at this age, all most of them have been confused with future, angry with the society, shout about the things they think is unfair. They just need a moment can let them to remember how happiness they were. This is my aim for adults.


Income: £30-£2000, or ?
It doesn't really matter how much they earn. What ever who they are, they all have been through same generation as anyone else in the world, from baby to child, from child to teenager, from teenager to adult, and then getting old and die.


Family size: It could be big or small, but probably people are from divorced family with broken heart.


Education: Between primary school to university graduate.


Occupation: no specific


Gender:70% on female 30% on male. Female loves doll more than men.


Nationality/Race: Most of them for Asia, Europe and American may like it.


Region of the world: no specific


Climate: no specific


Behaviour: E- journal


Brand loyalty: white collar worker and student.

Marketting Thinking for Show

What if I am in the group, but I didn't realised that I was a part of them. It was my fault that I have been out of college for three weeks time.

While I was travelling around China, I did thought about how to give up information to people in Penwith College or in Penzance.

I would like to put our show exhibition details on radio station, bus,local galleries. Some of our group members wear similar style of cloths, in t, in their right hand, right artifices, backpacks, bags, cloths what ever, tie on a balloon, but it must be on the right side.  It can be any colour, any size we like. Information of shows should write on Balloons.

They have to go down to town, going to some public places to walk around. The idea of this, not only was it about to give peoples information, but also catch people's eyes.

The reason why must wear similar style cloths, tie on balloons on right side, wear similar cloths means we are in a same group. Although we are using different balloons, in different size, in different colours. It still shows that we are together.

Balloon means dream, it feels light, but it looks contain lots things inside it, but it still able to fly, lose them, the things inside, It cannot fly anymore. Balloon is a amazing stuff.

Tie balloons on right side, means we think we are 'right', we think what are we  doing it is correct. Although balloon looks easy to break, but it likes our dream, light, with lots of things but easy break.

We only have to use a line to control our balloon, likes we control our dreams by ourselves, not by someone else. We are the only one will be able to control them.


If it could be able to run, here is the budget outline I have made below.

The Meaning of Travelling's Detail Proposal

Prepared for: Creative & Media Diploma Unit2 Show
Prepared by:  Biyan Li

Description

A doll go on a trip alone. It sounds impossible because people think doll which is a thing cannot move by itself. It never ever has any feeling. Its life always control by someone. It is a dead thing!  
I would like to let people think doll has its own life and its own feeling. So I am going to be a controller of my doll and try to be the doll or in another hand the doll is trying to be me. 
In the future a few weeks I am going on a trip to China, by myself. The doll 'Ddung' will be my travel mate and tells the stories. The best way to tell a story I think is by using photos. It gives the spaces that you can think about more and to imagine more.

The objective

• Photography has been and always be the weakest and most interest part in my course. I would to try to learn and to get improve my photography skills from this project and be practical.
• I am a kind person which likes  every sweet and light green thinks, always think to go back to childhood. I am sure there are a lots of people think the same as me. I would like to grab their resonances.

For this project, I've got three ideas to present my show.

1. The first idea is making a narrative online photography magazine. The story is all about a girl’s lonely journey. The doll ‘Ddung’ will be my model in the story. It will be follow me and join my journey in China. The background of the image has different subject. I am going to pick the changes of season. The places I am going, they are all in different season. Although it is October. when people are reading it, it comes with different part of background music. it changes and shows the emotion of the image. 
2. The second idea is taking images of the same doll from different angles then create the story from the images. http://bbs.deey.cn/thread-26354-1-1.html This is an example. I like it because it is simple, easy.
3. The third idea is to make a stop motion music video, by using a song called <new soul>. I would like to show how a doll carry on her new life, after met her host.

Glastonbury Festival

It is the most enjoyable festival-- Glastonbury festival. You worth to join.
I am doing a research about the Glastonbury Festival. It is a succeeded show and a great example to analyse.


Introduction


In 1970, in Glastonbury, one of the most famous music festival in the world. It starts its journey, starts rock the world!  The farmer Michael Eavis in 1970 risking the danger for his own animals to kill by fans, invited the popular T Rex front man Marc Bolan go to a small farm held the first small concert,  then to officially organize the second year; but it wasn't called the Glastonbury Festival. It called Pilton Festival, and 1,500 spectators to attend.


Glastonbury is the name of a small town, located Somerset Mendip in southwest England. The festival is organized in the exact location of a small village in southwest England Pilton and Pylle between the Worthy Farm, six miles east of Glastonbury.


Since 1981, the festival run  by local farmers and Mike Davis's company.  Mike Davis and  his wife were the company managers and run by them before his wife Jean dead in 1999, after that him moved control to his daughter, Emily Eavis. Since 2002, the Festival Republic took over its 40% stake in the company, to responsible for the logistical and security of festival. Most of Glastonbury Festival Limited Company's profits to charity donations.


 The festival always managed by volunteers, but except technical men and security guys. More than 1,700 managers have come from the charity Oxfam. As the work of the appropriate return, Oxfam will receive contributions from the festival, in the years received a total of 200,000 pounds. 

Some of stages and fields are quite independent, they manage everything by itself. For example, Worthy FM field is run by Greenpeace . In recent years, the venue became the scene of a limited mixed background, the pyramid at the northern end ofthe stage, "other stage " in the south. East of the site have unplugged tent, comedy and circus tents. The southern end of the Green Fields exhibited some of the traditional and environmentally friendly craft. King's Meadow on the southern top of the hill, there is a small circle of stone. And like the famous, like Stonehenge, since 1990 there will be an activities at the summer solstice, called  "Stone Circle".
Main-Body
That just a little bit research from internet. Most of them from wikipedia. I want to talk about the influence, develop also the security. 
Influence
The influence of Glastonbury Festival, I think it will be the biggest part, fashion it is.There are so many celebrities went to Glastonbury Festival, go to Glastonbury Festival or going to. They are the people who controls a fashion show, guide people how to wear fashion.
For example,Kate Moss and her ex-boyfriend Pete Doherty in Glastonbury Festival wearing Hunter Boots's Festival photo board on "Vogue", this pair of boots were only dozen dollars, it just a plastic boots, just because of Kate Moss wear it, and looks so amazing, then be snapped out of stock. The second season of Celine, Michael Kors, Marc Jacobs and other luxury brands have launched aspecial limited edition boots, this pair of boots seems never relate to any fashion but just begins fashion in the mud; because Glastonbury festival, it has become the most popular single product last years. 
Even now, people still love to wear a pair of Hunter Boots when they go to Glastonbury Festival. Not only was it fashion, but also it is practical to wear in the festival. It just a festival item that seems everyone must have. As everyone knows, every year there will be and always be a heavy rain during the festival. Boots could keep your feet nice and dry.

In fact, the music festival is not just fashion detonated only Hunter Boots, the initiatordoes not just Kate Moss. In the 70s Woodstock was the heyday of music festivals, small floral dress, knitting Tousheng wide faded pants, leather boots is the most hollow wave of the "Music Festival Look ", also Bohemian style dress Will become a classic style of dress. Musicians and fans, and "pseudo-fans"who are allmaverick style of dress fashion inspiration provided.

Develop and security

Glastonbury Festival grows bigger and bigger every years. More people knows it, try to join in. Tickets gone to sell and sold out within one day. To get a ticket become difficult each years. People have to wait infront of computer, just for to get a entry ticket.   

When it first started, the price of ticket was £1 plus milk. 1500 of people attended. Held in the second year to attract tourists throughout the country has actually become the Midsummer Music Festival, the predecessor of the modern. In Arabella Churchill with the help of Andrew Kerr organized a rally Glastonbury Fayre, but is not a festival. Including the concept of Bill Harkin concept of the pyramid stage, set up by the completion of scaffolding and metal coating. Performers include David Bowie, Traffic band, Fairport Convention, the Quintessence band and Melanie Safka. Festival sponsored by a supporter, and advocate their own ideas, covering the medieval music, dance, poetry, drama, lights and spontaneous entertainment. The festival was in 1971, Nicolas Roeg and David Puttnam film records, and then release the film "Glastonbury Fayre".

In the 1980s, Glastonbury Festival has begun to be fixed (except for periodic fallow years away). In 1981, Mike Eavis for the first time to manage the festival, and is associated with the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. The stage was re-built the pyramids by the abandoned poles and the Department of Defense's metal construction, has become a fixed facility.

Festival made its first profit in 1981, Mike Eavis donated £ 20,000 to the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. In the ensuing years, the festival has made donations to many organizations.

Since 1983, large-scale festival activities require permission from local council, which led to the festival some of the restrictions, including the number of organizations need to control the crowd and some specific time. Initially limited to 3 million people, but growing up to 10 million people. In 1985, the rapid growth of population makes the Worthy farm bought the neighbor farm "Cockmill".

When the 20th anniversary of Glastonbury Festival in 1990, that was the largest ever festival, festival put on more contemporary performing arts, reflecting the trend of diversification. However, tourists and security personnel the end of the confrontation and violence (known as the so-called "The Battle of Yeoman's Bridge"), because of that violence, the organizers decided to cancel the second year festival 1991. Festival back in 1992, and was proved to be a huge success. The music festival for the first time built a solid wall, making the new age travellers can not be free access to the festival venue. The end of the Cold War, the object is donated to the Oxfam and Greenpeace. They also brought a festive character and volunteers.

In 1994, the week before the upcoming holidays, the pyramid stage was burned. Fortunately, before the Festival, sponsored by a local company set up a temporary main stage. Festival for the first time a 150 kW wind power generator, used to power the main stage area. On June 26 also set a world record, 826 people simultaneously juggling, making 2478 the object while in the air. British four first time provides Glastonbury on television, to some extent the impact of expanding the festival. Levellers front of the stage to create the highest number until today, Orbital's headline performance also makes the band famous.


In 2000 there were 25 million people join Glastonbury festival but that only 10 million tickets gone to sale on the market, so it means that rest 15 million people join in without ticket. This led to public safety concerns, refused to permit local councils until the problem is resolved. And because Roskilde Festival 2000 occurred in the accident, organizers then canceled the festival in 2001 and developed a future anti-fare evasion measures to protect the safety of the festival. Mean Fiddler Organisation, Festival Republic's predecessor was invited to help at this time.

In 2002, the festival come back. Mean Fiddler Organisation in charge of logistics and security, in a large number of the installed fencing around the site (known as super-fence) will reduce the number to ten years ago. Because so few attended the festive atmosphere is quite relaxed, but crime levels have decreased compared to previous years a large scale. Outside the fence there are some incidents, mainly relating to persons who plan to come to nothing, they think they can refer to the fence. But in addition, this session of the festival is supported by the media called for the very successful. In 2002 the first time, the band Coldplay performing on stage in the pyramid.

Bigger area, more people could join in, but there still lot more people wanted to join in. they are the unsafety factor for the festival.

designing the logo of our show

We had a talk about making a logo for our project. The idea starts from puzzle. We are a group together, everyone is a piece of puzzle. When we are together, we are a picture.

How will I to develop my idea

who are your target audience?
Gender, 70% of them are female, 30% male.
Age 3-10years old, 13-19 years old, 20-35 years old. They are three focus groups I would pick. 

how has you method for showing your met the needs of your target audience?
I have been read some sample of E-journal. Similar style of photos. People's experience about journey. also, I am a part of my target audience. I should know what I like to see, what I like to read.

how does your work fit in with the wider how(other work the space)?
I could use it as a journal for company. It also able to inset different advert. I also could be a leaflet, but with sounds, flash, pictures.

Propsal for show

1, I am going to make a narrative online photography magazine, The story is all about a girl’s lonely journey. I am going to take a doll called ‘Ddung’ as my character with me. Following me and join my journey in China. The background of the image has different subject. I am going to pick the changes of season. The places I am going, they are all in different season. Although it is October. when people are reading it, it comes with different part of background music. it changes and shows the emotion of the image.
2, The second idea is to take photos of a doll in different angles to show a story, in a storyboard style.
http://bbs.deey.cn/thread-26354-1-1.html this is an example.  I like it because it is simple, easy, and I can be creative about the story I am going to show.

3, the third idea is to make a stop motion music video, by using a song called <new soul>. I would like to show how a doll carry on her new life, after met her host.

The Meaning of Traveling, developing my ideas

What is the mean of traveling. For everyone it has different means.
What I would like to do is with put in another person's eyesight, why not using myself? I won't be the character, but the dolls would be.
try to act as a doll, or the doll try to be me? probably.

Year2 on C&M

Today I am start my year 2 journey in my course. The first lesson I had it was a media lesson with Armando. He will be the one teach us media in the future.
We are doing a 'Scene Recreation' on <Saw>.  I am join with Ben,Jack and Sam as a group, and I am doing the lighting part of our recreation.
