The workshop

Planning the power point

For the presentation I am working with Yasmin, the producer for Hungry for Love. We've decided to do a power point to the rest of the groups to give an insight into what we did as producers and also the careers of professional producers. To give the groups an insight into what our role responsibilities we've decided to incorporate some activities such as how to break a script into eights and the way to schedule a shoot.

For the power point we've decided to give each other different responsibilities to make it easier to create.

Responsibilities for the workshop

• I'm going to find out the information about producers, write the slides about what a schedule and rule of eighths is etc.
• Yasmin is going to sort out the activities and is also putting together the power point so I will have to make sure that she has the information she needs to do so. She will also be doing some of the slides such as 'what is a producer' and 'planning a schedule'.
• We will be giving out own personal accounts of what we learnt throughout the process and what our experiences were so will be responsible for making sure that we both have those ready and any additional notes that we may need to read from.
• We've for the activity we wanted to show how to break down a script and schedule so Yasmin had decided she will make sure resources are printed out and ready.
• Ideally the presentation should be completed a week before the workshop so that we have time to get any extra information or make any changes if need be.

Plan for the presentation

• We'll need resources such as scripts, call sheets and schedules which can be printed out and given out for the activity.
• Pens and paper so notes can be taken.
• Me and Yasmin have decided to alternate between presenting each slide, so I will have to familiarize myself with which bits of information I will be presenting.
• Make sure that all notes are printed out prior to the presentation.

Plan for the day

• We won't be working on the same day as another group so this gives us time in case the workshop happens to run over time. Due to the length of the presentation and the fact there isn't another group we need to work with we shouldn't need to plan for lunch breaks.
• As the presentation is an hour and twenty minutes long we want to make sure to keep our audience engaged by asking questions throughout and breaking up the time using the activities.

Aims for the workshop

• Producer is probably one of the roles people know least about so it would be good to give other people an idea about the different types of roles that have to be done within the job and the amount of responsibility relied upon that person.
• Also by giving the presentation about what being a producer is all all about it may inspire some to go out and seek experience within the area.
