Unit 3 - My Media product "Liverpool's Performing Arts and Sports Awards (Youth)" Evidence for P1,P2,P3,M1,M2,P4

Evidence for P1,P2,P3,M1,M2,P4

My Proposal 

 

Vision

My main vision for this media award show was to give the young people an opportunity to experience an Oscar or Grammy like award show on their own age scale. I believe it is important to celebrate young people’s achievements to give them a reason to continue with the hobbies they are doing whether that be music, dance or acting. As the performing arts industry is so heavily trafficked. It’s a tough business to make a success in so it is important to give the young people an opportunity to celebrate their achievements from the previous year.

Times 

4pm - 10pm 

Location 

 Cardinal Heenan Catholic High School

School and Sports field/mugas

Capacity 

We can accommodate 220 at one time throughout the event.

 

How the evening will go

The award show will be split into four parts, starting with the youngest years and rising to the young adults. (14-21 years). This is obviously to get the younger people home early for the next day.

The four categories are

Music

Dance

Acting

Sports

As sports are so broad we will not be able to take it down to individual sports but more so ‘sports personality’ or ‘best young athlete’. This way all of the sports are included under one bracket.

Specially nominated groups from each group will have an opening performance to introduce their category.

The Liverpool Lord Mayor will open the awards show with she own words about the event and what his thoughts are on it. The mayor will also have a special award which she will present herself and it will be her choice and the reasoning is her own.

 As for the rest of the awards there will be votes held publicly and each nomination will be able to present themselves before the votes are counted. This way there is a fair vote and the public vote will decide the winner. To stop bias, people will not be able to vote for people in the same club as them. This keeps the vote as fair as possible.

Funding

The funding for my event will come from donations and four separate  sponsorship deals relating to the event, so for example Everton Football Club will help endorse this event whilst Vagabonds Tennis club will also support the event. 

People around Everton Football Club such as Leighton Baines (Previously a premier league player for EFC and England) will be invited down to endorse and promote the events on his social media and link in to his sponsors.

Cost 

There will be family tickets on sale for £10  and individual tickets will be £5. This will include a free drink and a burger meal. 

50 % of all money raised from the event will go back into the City and particularly poorer areas across the City to make it a nicer place to live and encourage more and more children to take up hobbies within the performing arts and sports to give focus and meaning and stay off the streets. 

Health and Safety  

                 

Multiple measures for health and safety will be put in place on the day. Staff and volunteers will help people throughout the day and support those who  may be lost to help direct them to their correct areas/family/friends. 

Furthermore there will be limits on alcohol distributed during the night. (Token system)

There will be over 100 members of temporary staff hired (Sixth Form students, work experience) to support the event, all we be in high viz equipment jackets and bibs will be provided, this will also be a part of the original budget. 

There will be numerous first aiders on site. 

   

Updated Paragraph

Based on my feedback from the presentation we decided to change some aspects of the event. 

Rather than it be an evening event it is to be now a day event slipping into the evening. 

Starting at 12pm and ending at 6pm the event can now enjoy the summer weather so the football games can be played prior to the event. There will be tournaments for all the sports clubs involved and this gives opportunity’s to gain extra funding and awards for their local clubs.

 Another change made was the alcohol regulation. Previously a token system was in place now we have decided as an event it was simply better if no alcohol was deserved to audience members.  

A location sheet was needed to plan out not only how the location will be accessed and when it is required but how the space will be used. I here have clearly planned out the layout of the Muga and Sports field section of the location where I will utilize the space to its full potential. Here I have labelled my details so if there are any changes or updates about the event ill need to know about. 

Here was the original plan for the script and to discuss how I would go about my advertising methods when it came to the audio products. I discussed the unique selling points and the original blueprints for how the product would be advertised. 

Here is the earliest draft of a script for the radio advertisement. The script mentions about the products great cause alongside a real commercial advertisement that shows off the special guests and mainstream appeal for the event.  

               This again shows the original ideas for the script, in this stage I was looking to decide whether to use m music, sound effects and also looking on a high end well known narrators that people know to promote the event as much as possible. Sound effects such as the football being kicked would have immediately captured listeners attention as it is something completely different to what people are used to when hearing radio advertisements. 

My Final Designs 

Draft 1

Draft 2

I have used recognizable people within these photos to show how local people can become heroes in their community with hard work within the sports and performing arts world. It shows inspirational characters that have done exactly what these young people are striving to do and they are the benchmark for success.
