The Degree show…

For our final project which will be displayed in our degree show, myself and three others in my group decided to do a photography piece to display. We decided on photography as we had explored television production, film making, and radio production in other modules. Three of us in the group- myself, Charlotte and Stacey had studied photography at GCSE and A level and so we decided to use our photography skills to our advantage and create a specatacular photography piece to display. The research and photographs that make up this final project are found in previous blog entries under 311MC. For the planning, co ordination and organisation part of the degree show our course was split into different groups each focusing on different aspects on the show. Although I put my name down to join the events management team as it is something I am looking into for a future career I was put into the publicity and marketing group. I didnt mind being in the publicity group as it was my second choice that I put down anyway. The duties of my publicity group was mainly to set up a website which advertises the whole degree show to the public and so that people could have a taster of what the degree show will be like. The idea of the degree show is to show off our work to potiential employers and the public and promote the university and our course as a whole. Although I don’t necessarily want to pursue a career in photography as I am more interested in working in other areas of the media it would be good to see what advice viewers of the degree show could give us about out job oppurtunities. We could maybe have the oppurtunity to be a photographers rep? or someone may even want to buy our prints? who knows!. During the course of the degree show preparations I have also had the oppurtunity to help out my friends in the events organisation team with putting together the degree show ordering decorations, putting together posters and directions for the public for when they come. As I am looking into events organisation as a career path for when I graduate I have been able to get some experience into this field of work as a ‘degree show co-ordinator’.
