evaluation

My production role was fundraising. I was excited when I got offered the role being a part of the fundraising team as that is the job I originally applied for. Within the job applicant my role was to raise money for our production by doing numerous fundraising events, I feel like within my production role I had both strengths and weaknesses and  feel there are things i could of done better and would change if i had the opportunity to do this production role again.

i felt like my weaknesses where that i could of been more proactive. If I was going to do this role again in the future I think I would do different is that I had all these good ideas with good plans how to do them but I never actually got round to perusing my ideas into action.

i felt like I was efficient and I researched my job in detailed to what it entails and what I need to do In order to be a good fundraiser. I looked up my job description and I made sure I was meeting the criteria. I feel like as being a fundraiser my strengths were that I was organised and I communicated well with other member in my team and production. I feel that I’m proud of the fact that I done good planning and I felt I was very organised and efficient. I’m also proud that I was able to think of creative ideas in how to fundraise money and I made a detailed timeline of when and where each event would happen. I felt like if I got the opportunity to for fill my ideas into action I had a clear plan of how I would raise money and anyone could read my plan and understand my visions clearly. I had to overcome obstacles like the fact that on my time like I planned to do a cake sale on a certain day e.g. a Wednesday however when I went to book a slot in the foyer it wasn’t available. So the plan had to change and I had to email everyone like the marketing team to change the poster and the arranged help to tell them the day had changed.

  I feel the type of skills I used in my job role was my confidence to talk to member of staff and by offering my services I gained visibility's. I thought I had good communication. I used my mathematical skills to calculate how much money I would need for the show and each department.

production meeting


Production meetings are ways of making sure information gets to the people who need to know, and that the necessary work on a play actually gets done. A production meeting is intended to get things done. It should involve a complete report and honest assessment of where every technical area of the production is at. It is a forum to make sure that everyone is on the right track, a way for under-performing crew members to be identified and assisted or replaced. Every department should issue a progress report (even if the same person is responsible for multiple areas), and their progress should be matched against the production schedule to make sure they are on track. At this time, the director should approve (or schedule a time to approve) props, costumes or other technical work being done, and any discrepancies between the director/designer/technician interpretations of the design worked out. Once the reports are given any shortcomings should be openly and frankly discussed, and a plan to address them should be decided upon. Time is the most important resource when working on a play, so it’s important to make sure that problems get dealt with now – before you get to tech week, when it’s too late to fix them right.

In my role as fundraiser I was responsible for raising money on behalf of the show . as being on the Fundraising team its my job to bring in the money. Using a range of promotional methods and campaigns, you’ll work hard to raise money either from generous individuals or secured grants. I felt like I found my self;

1.       Developing strategies and setting goals to hit fundraising targets.

2.      Finding people to donate money

3.      Keeping in touch with existing donors and stakeholders

4. Budgeting incoming and outgoing money (very much like life)
5. Writing proposals that could attract money, including applications for grants
6. Preparing and giving presentations (hello PowerPoint)
7. Liaising with the fundraising team
8. Overseeing events and campaigns

I felt like I handled my role with efficiency as I emailed Jacob asking him for the posters what showed organisation and independence.

      

 

Week 1-    asda/Tesco/Sainsbury

cake sale ( well ask the school for 30 pounds and we will sell cakes and sweet and we will give the school back the 30 pound and the profits will go to the show.)We would also have a iPod dock in which we would play live music to attract the croud.to help promote the cake sale we would go round to tutor group to give information /talk about it in assembles and posters.

Week 2 -    staff car wash, 5 pound a car .we could make little posters/fliers and stick them on the car windows

 

Week 3-   movie night

We will hold this event in the lecture theatre in which we would charge £2.50 and we will also have a tuck shop in which we sale popcorn, sweets and drinks at reasonable price.as far as the seating arrangement/layout we are deciding on having a more relaxed approach with a sleepover feel by having cushions on the floor or chairs.

Week 4- A open mic show we hold auditons so people perform their original pieces And we charge one pound for the show.

Week 5-    (merchandise)

we could sell jumpers in which the public can decide what they want on the jumpers e.g someone may want their name and friends name or their birthday so they decide hwat they put on it.

 

Week 6–   we could hold a pound show in which we would hold a competition within our theatre group asking who can come up with the best idea to devise an creative piece of theatre. Me and andrea will be co – directors and the winner will direct the devise piece. We’re holding it in week 7 because it gives us enough time to prepare.

I have previous experience of fundraising in which I have helped raise money for dance shows at my dance company and in 2010 I won a prize for collecting the most amount of people to come to our theatre show during the London riots so I had to use my persuasive skills to prove to the public theirs young people doing good in the area.im confident and sociable so the type of skills I can provide is the ability to listen well to others and respond accordingly to the situation.I have exceptionally good communication skills which I have developed through various theatre projects particularly spoken word sessions. I am approachable and friendly so I’ll be well suited in the aspect of meeting and greeting guests’.im fairly good at maths so I would be prepared to help with the finance   and collecting money from sponsors.
