My Media Role

Similar  to our year 11 production, everybody in Displacement Dance Theatre, has to apply for a role to help bring the show together. The roles consist of Media, Assistant Choreographer, Costume, Set and Props, Lighting, Script, Front of House, Marketing, Rehearsal Directors, and Sponsorship.
In the last show I was an Assistant Choreographer, in which I really enjoyed creating a piece for with Dalvin. But this year after starting my A-Levels, and finding a passion for media and film, I thought it would be a good idea to apply for the Media role.

In order to be considered for the role, we all have to write a letter applying formally for the role, explaining the reasons why we would most be suitable for the role, and what experiences we may have had within the role. This would be easy to complete for me, as I study media once a week and have learnt so much in the last year already that I would be able to bring forward to the team.







After a week or so, the next time we met we were all excitedly allocated our roles for production.
I was happy to know that I was lucky to be given the role of Media, which I applied for and was ready to get to work with my group. 

My Group 
- Jay
- Caiman 
- Aisha 
- Moses 
- Jermaine
- Kamau


Once we all digested this new information, we quickly gathered in our groups and were able to set ourselves tasks to help get things done, and establish our deadlines.

Caiman and I, still study media and has good relationships with the media production teachers, who would have no problem lending us equipment or letting us spend added time in the edit suite, which put us in charge or pictures and the trailer with the help of Aisha


Moses and Jermaine are in charge of music and sound, gathering all of the sound effects needed throughout the show and finding and editing any music needed by any teachers or groups.


Kamau and Aisha are in charge of research and information to help support the trailer and photos, getting all the chosen video clippings, and as he takes the train everyday it would be easy for him to pick up some news papers on the way and be able to cut or rip out any stories that would be helpful when it came to editing 


We have set ourselves a deadline of before Open Invitation so we would have the trailer finished, and edited including the music so that everybody has enough time to feedback and make any changes.
