Unit 2  Part A: identify the project aims and desired outcomes

The skills desired for leadership on this project are: to be creative, motivated, proactive, forward thinking, realistic, communication skills, ambitious, organised, adaptable, passionate and to have integrity.

The event is the Young Women’s Music Project End of Year Party, it’s to celebrate the work accomplished in 2017. It will be taken over by the arts award participants, so it will have a new perspective and will be executed by us. The aim is to have fun and reflect on what we’ve achieved. Desired outcomes are to showcase talent, for it to be interactive and interesting/engaging, attracting a new audience, to increase opportunities for young women which Oxford is lacking. 

I have decided to curate an interactive poetry installation, to engage people around the room throughout the night of celebration. Poetry isn't usually shared in this way and I want to break down the barriers of writing alone and sharing with others what I have learnt in the past year. I don’t want to just keep my poetry to myself, I want to get people involved in it, I want to build confidence with sharing my work with other people, communication skills so I have a voice in conversations about my work and facilitating others. 

The roles of the group link because every piece of work written will be  response to what is happening in the room, whether that be the art on the walls or the music being showcased. We all have to take responsibility for the promotion of this event from the social media down to postering so our platforms will crossover via that. Communication is key when it comes to setting up and delivering the event so our roles have to cross over. 

I will monitor my progress by photos and videos. I will collect feedback with on paper, on film and photos. There will be a comments book where people can write feedback in. We will also have a hashtags in an aim to appeal to people who would rather engage via social media.

Here’s a mindmap of what I want my part of the event to be like:

Yasmin - Silver Arts Award: Unit 2 - Part A

What is your arts project?

My project is taking behind the scenes photos of the crew, as I am one of two official photographers for the project and I am also in charge of of updating our daily blog with production photos.   

How was this project chosen?

I discussed with the head of the production team, on what I wanted to show for my project and I told them about my liking for photography and then we drafted an idea of holding an exhibition within the museum of comedy. 

What strengths do you have that you can bring to this project?

My strengths are my photography skills in which I am able to capture good quality photos which are to a set requirement. I also have skills in photoshop, as I can independently use edit my own photos and correct the colour levels or curves if need be. 

What will role be? What will you be in charge of?

I will be in charge of taking photos of the crew preparing equipment, along with be in charge of the exhibition, the choice of photos to display, how many will be shown, the area in which the board will be positioned in. 

Who else will you be working on the project? Who else will you be working with on the project? What will they be doing/in charge of?

I will be working alongside with my partner Miriam, who is another official photographer and we are running the exhibition together in partnership. She is also in charge of taking photos for the rehearsals and also the Cannibal Goldfish crew and updating the daily post with photos on Tumblr. 

What do you know about them?

I know that they are trustworthy and hard working people.

How many people will benefit from it?

Everyone will benefit from the display of photos, as parents will be able to see their children’s involvement within the making of the film and may even depict some of the roles that they choose as part of the crew. Along with the rest of the crew being able to see themselves on a display. 

What will they get out of it?

Our partner museum of comedy will also get recognition for allowing us to display our photos within their space and along with the crew being able to look at their work and be proud of they have accomplished. 

What personal leadership qualities and skills would you like to develop through this project? 

I would like to develop my communication skills by talking to the rest of the crew in a clear and informative manner, as having good communication skills will help me later on in life, when applying for a job or hold a presentation for work related matters.
