Media Event Entry 3

30/04/10

Hello!

Today is the Media Event!

The day is scheduled to begin at 9:30 am and finishes at 3:00 pm. Due to public transport the guests unfortunately arrived 15 minutes late which put our schedule 15 min behind. 

During the Ice Breakers the guests were spilt into two groups (group A and Group B). Group A were to go to the Green Screen room whilst Group B are to stay in the Presentation room to view the presentations. 

During the presentation Dean and I were relaxed the turn out for the event wasn't high at all and we presented to a total of 5. 

During the presentation I had been assessing the overall body language of the guests and 3 seemed to be interested and switched on, which made me relived that Dean and I were being clear in the way we both presented our information. 

At 12:45 we all took an hour out for lunch and reconvened for 1:45 as our Guest Speaker Ciaran O'Connor will come in and do a presentation. 

The Event came to an end at 3:15 pm. The guests filled out the evaluation forms. We all had received some really positive feed back from the guests. Their responses were that they loved the guest speaker and the Green Screen experiment. The one criticism we had was that one person thought that there should be some more interaction with the presentation. 

I personally thought that the day was fairly successful in the sense that the guests enjoyed the Green Screen and the Guest Speaker and that they learnt alot of information.

The only major hang up I have with the event is that I think that preparations should have taken place days in advance. Unfortunately due to lack of preparation the Green Screen broke down and the Technicians were called in to try and get it working again which cost time but fortunately the supervisors gave a little presentation to engage the guests so that they won't be fed up. 

We all pulled off an adequate event in the end!
