hi andy

just wondering whether you are able to get peoples bio of themselves then you can create each persons own page. i have managed to do most of the links, on the page, etc. but if you can do this that would be great, so far i have had no feedback from people about what they want on their page you might have better luck.

Hello!! Just checked out the website you've set up-looks good. Was just wondering though, it said the exhibitions on at the Royal Star Arcade, has that been decided on? Or was it put in just for the mean time?

Action needed from all of you

I have produced a web site this evening that has the work of the 24 students who were on the flyer. Each image thumbnail is clickable and goes to a page with a large version of that image, and space for a description of the work/artist. At the moment this is blank and it is up to you what information you would like to go on your page. Please comment here with a paragraph and your name (I'm not familiar with your web aliases sorry) and I'll edit your page.

contact list

i have printed copies of the contact list and they are now available from the pigeon holes.

also about putting peoples work online, tony has produced a brochure with peoples work front and back to be handed out at the cinema, putting something like this online would be a good thing to do.

as for domain names perhaps that is something we need to decide as a group.

Response to website info...

Hi Andy,

I agree with keeping the website something that is simple, which means it can be updated quickly too.

I spoke to Mark Beer from I.T yesterday about setting up a ucreative e-mail account, he said that shouldn't be a problem as long as the name is something easily distinguished so it can't be something like photography@ucreative.....etc

it would be good if we had a theme as a title, or perhaps we could simply have;

endofyear@ucreative.ac.uk   (let me know what you think?)

also if we set a web hosting account with streamline.net (who i use for my own site) then we can do a 3 months free trial (there is a domain name registration fee of a around £11)

Website promotion

Hi all, it's Andy...

The idea of a promotional website for the exhibition was raised today (I'm sure that's not the first time, but it was the first time I was there). I think a simple site, maybe even a one-page "flyer" type design would be very appropriate. It may be good to add some examples of students work to keep it interesting too, so if you can think of some work you would like displayed please send it across (either in college or if it's small an email). Keep in mind that only stills, and probably only one per student could be squeezed into the web "window-space".

Caroline, please either reply here or send me an email with your feelings on the website, or any ideas you have.

We also need to consider a name for the site, mainly so we can get a domain name sorted early. Any thoughts on that?

More Cinema News

Riight...
We have got the Cinema for the 6th of march. Thats Thursday evening.
All that my manager needs is a cheque made payable to Odeon Ltd for £100. Easy.
Flims. If we wanted to show a film such as Pulp Fiction we couldn't just use a DVD cos its Illegal! It would cost us around an extra £100 to get the proper cinema version sent to the cinema. That would make it legit but lose us money! so personally i think not!
Actual Film Options. This is to be confirmed monday, which is when i will get the showing times of the films too so we can pick what showing we want after deciding on a film. But i think it will be....
Be Kind, Rewind.
Cloverfield.
National Treasure.
Semi-pro.
At the moment thats what i reckon our choices will be as there are no major releases over the next couple of weeks.
Personally i think we should go with Be Kind, Rewind. its a 12A so open to families, ive seen it, tis well funny. and i think its the most appealing to student types.
This is all open for discussion Monday though when we will decide!
Then tuesday we will begin advertising!! ooh how exciting :)
ps fingers crossed it doesn't go tits up! xxxx

cinema update

right! the cinema is set up for 6th March 2008 in chatham, dockside oden

we as of yet do not know what film we will be showing, because of the legailty side of things

for the advertisment side of things we can make some mock ups of tickets and posters. and decide on tuesday the goings on

we also all need to give £10 each for the inital payment of the cinema and printing, give it to me and i will sort it all out by 28th

Collaboration

I again spoke with some Video guys yesterday to let them know about the blog, I had also spoken with Conor to try and clarify what the outcome to this end of year exhibition was about and if it was true that the video guys would not have their work citiqued or marked at the exhibition!
He said that he thinks it's a good idea if we can collaborate and submit work as individuals also, He will speak to Adam and find out what the full story is.

Hopefully before the meeting on the 28th in the conference room in the library 12.30pm.

Laura

I saw Laura yesterday and she said that we may be able to organize a whole cinema screen for ourselves for £100, then if we fill it we could make around £500/£600 profit! If we are going to do it we should consider the Chatham branch first and then take it over to the Maidstone branch. We will be able to discuss this in more detail later.

It all sounds positive....

Talk with Adam

ok, fresh from my talk. and here's the main points;

- He's planning to give us a proper briefing in regards to what we actually have to do, and what we'll be assessed on. i mentioned that we're meeting in the afternoon of the 28th in the library. so he may give us the briefing in the morning of the 28th!

- Video students. we are allowed to collaborate with them, and he's all for that. but this is OUR project, so we're the only people getting marked. i guess we'd have to figure out the logistics of having all of us plus however many video students on board.

-in regards to the money needed for past exhibitions and people not turning up to meetings but still wanting exhibition space, we can discuss that when we have the breifing.

see you all on monday!

Corn Exchange

get ready to fall off your seat.

For the huge hall upstairs which i think is called the queens hall is £100+ an hour

They have a small hall which can hold 70 guests and that is £200 a day
= 5 days exhibition = £1000

and is vacant from may 19th, I think this is quite realistic in collecting the money.
what do you reckon???

I will be having a nose over the weekend to see what the small hall looks like.

I spoke to the kent messenger and i will be emailing the exhibition manager to see if they would be willing to review the exhibition and advertise in the papers. They may even sponsor us but it would have to go through email to the directors, but its a long shot, We just need to make it clear what we want from KM.
Again, any ideas??? that i may not have mentioned...

Also I spoke to photofactory in maidstone, owner tim, they wont beable to sponsor us due to ££££££ but he could help us with printing and do a deal with us. Again re-phoning him at a later date.

Have a good weekend Tony,

Please pass on this info to the rest of the group if you wish so that nearly everyone is keeping up-to-date.

Take care,
Rebecca

Progress

Today Lee and I have spoken with a couple of guys from video and discussed the idea of collaborating for the end of year show.
We will speak to Adam tomorrow and find out if this is something we are able to do?

We have also seen a few units in Maidstone that could be possible venues, Seb has also given some ideas that we can discuss as a group. There is also a college bus that is available as long as a member of staff drives it, seb will probably be available to do this!

I have secured the conference room in the library for the 28th feb at 12.30pm. this will be the next time we meet up.

i think it's for us to generally talk about how amazing we all are?
also, does anyone know if we're gona get marked on these one week projects? or are they just part of the professional practice?

What!

Can anyone clarify what this blog is going to be used for?
