Overall Reflexion

My overall opinion on the night is.... It went very well for an event that was organised in such little time. For example, £390 Ticket sales were made on the door, models fitted all clothes, we hosted an actual live event in a venue and all leadership was by students. 

On the other hand the event had it's negatives for example, the fashion show CD didn't work which made hassle for the DJ because he had to improvise with music for the fashion show! 
Secondly the whole presentation and scheduling/Publicity was very poor... For example, we paid for our event to be held and CRC didn't pay anything and their play was advertised on  the Junction website as our event on the friday had no coverage on the Junction Website! Another problem that we faced was competition from the Takeover which was advertised everywhere and people could either not afford to go to both events or they were confused about what event is what. And lastly we didn't get time to advertise lots unlike the Takeover. 

Personal Reflexion On Bazaar

Before the event I went to The Junction at 2:30pm for the first band sound check at 3:00pm 
. Secondly I made sure the other two bands were all Ok for their sound check at a later time. If the bands had any problems they could come to me and I would sort everything out for them. I also waited for the DJ's to come so I could show the the equipment they will be using for the night and if they were all Ok with what they were doing. 

During the evening when the event started I was DMing (Duty Manager) which consisted of checking toilets for hazards or problems, making sure everything is Ok backstage and the bands were happy. I feel I did my part and made the Night a success because I managed to sell 16 tickets and made sure everyone in the Venue were safe and happy during the running time. 

Negatives; 

-Fashion show CD didn't work. 
-Lack of specific jobs for some people. 
-Logos/designer labels were not presented properly

- Inappropriate alcohol consumption.

- Models fitted clothes.
- Good effort from everyone.
- Excellent work experience.
- Leadership by students 
- Staged an actual live event 
- Worked well with mentors + Technicians
