Since our Pitching session I received an email informing me I would be working on the the Gothic Season Project, which I am ecstatic about! So much so I bought myself a sexy new notebook to fill with all things Gothic! (from awesome shop Something Else)

We have also been introduced to the Gold Arts award, had an events marketing masterclass, spent some time identifying opportunities for work experience, and along with my team, been beginning to work out which films we shall be showing during the Gothic season.

Gold arts award – I’m thrilled that I decided to take part in the Future Producers Plus, I can already tell that the extra skills I will learn will add to my personal development no end. The Plus course has been filling my head with thoughts of cross art form marketing, annoyances in industry and where I would like to gain further work experience. The latter of those is causing me a slight headache… I am struggling between a company that would offer me a further insight into graphic design and what studio/agency life would be like or a company that would introduce me to the intriguing world of event and set design and how to create stimulating environments. I definitely need to do further research, or time allowing, consider the possibility of both?

Events Marketing Masterclass – These talks were a great help in terms of all of the areas to consider when approaching marketing and reaching your audience. Since this class I have been looking into social media as a means to approach and engage an audience for our Gothic Season.

Gothic Season, the beginning – Well our team has started the mammoth task of programming the season of events. The list of films we have created is pretty vast, but I think we are all enjoying watching lots of dark and twisted movies! Its all a bit top secret at the moment, so I wouldn’t want to spoil anything by sharing too much about my recent viewings. As a group we all seam to be working really well together so far and although we don’t always agree and have some conflicting tastes everyone is very respectful of each others opinions, showing a willingness to compromise and review. The energy and enthusiasm in the group is exhilarating, I couldn’t be happier with our team and look forward to spending much more time with them over the coming months.
