Preparations For Our Festival 2 !

2nd Week Back !

Today in creative media we were given a little more time to complete our Research On Festivals.
We were give about 3hours to complete and present it to our fellow students in groups by the end of the hour.
After we completed that we were told to come together and get more information about the festival.
We were told that we will be divided into groups to bring the festival together but first our teachers explained to us the brief again. Then they told us that we have a to come up with a venue were we're going to hold the festival.

So we came together to brainstorm good venues that would suit our type of Festival. We needed a place where it has a wide capacity and also reachable for our audience (but we thought of hiring coaches for our audience to and from if the venue is too far). We were all told to pitch in to give ideas to get good marks for overall involvement.

We came up with venues that would fit our festival theme which is Stereotypes. We thoought of clubs and churches.

At the end of the brainstorming we were divided into groups to research on our ideas and find out if we could use them.

Preparations For Our Festival !

First Week Back !


First week back to school and to creative and media diploma we got straight to work.

Before we started anything we had to get into the rooms. When we were settled we were introduced to the plan for the term and what we had to accomplish in a short time.



We were told more about the Festival that were have to hold during early March. Before we come up with ideas we had to research about festivals that are of performing arts which involves us diploma students.



We were given a task to research 5 different types of festivals not only based in London but also around the world if possible. we were given the whole day to do so either on computers, laptops or macs, so that everyone will have the oppotunity to finish their research in time before the deadline.

We were given some ideas of festivals such as Glastonbury Music Festival, Festival Of Lights, and many more.

I chose to do a variety of festivals from different cultures. I chose to do 'The London Jazz Festival', which i have attended

'La Tomatina', which I studied in Spanish,

'Ghana Party In The Park', which is a fun festival which i attend almost every year to celebrate history including dance, music and bascially performing arts,

'Cannes Film Festival' which is based in France for a celebration of films and their stars,'

And also chose the 'Glastonbury Music Festival'

For each and everyone of the festivals that we researched we had to find out about them and why they are done and their sponsers, and how they started and how it is done aswell.
