Positions

Positions. I was chosen along with Kristen to be Logistics Manager, a role I very much look forward to, because I very much enjoy looking at the logistical, logical, administrative side to a project, the first thing I did was to attain from Dan seat numbers. We could take a maximum of 250 persons into the new theatre.

Questions

Questions When looking at the films we were told to look at: Who are the trailers aimed at? Will it generate interest in Selhurst? What additional ideas do you have apart from the screening? The trailer for DM2 is aimed mainly at young, young children. I think it will develop interest in Selhurst, because of the amount of young children in the area.

Initial 5 ideas.

My initial ideas were as follows: . To come dressed as your favourite film character- This idea came from the birthday party in the film, the attendees all came dressed as film characters. I thought it might be exciting to come dressed as characters as I know this is something I would have enjoyed at their age. . To have a knights fight- This again came from the birthday scene in which some of the children dressed as knights have a sword fight. Children always enjoy fights (in a controlled environment with foam swords) and so I thought it would be awesome to have knights costumes and fake swords with some form of tournament. . Design an animal- I looked at all the peculiar creatures in the film, and thought it might be near to have a place where they could draw animals and them design them out of scrap and pipe cleaners to make their own animals and creatures. . Sinco De Mayo- This idea was taken directly from a film scene, I thought at the beginning, we could have stalls, games etc. and then when they come out at the break they can walk out into a Sinco De Mayo festival with food, decorations, music etc. run by El Macho (me)! . Paint fight- I thought about this maybe at the end to have yellow minions run in and give the kids guns with yellow paint in the have a load of purple minions come in and tell them to shoot the minions yellow.

The films

The films. The films we were asked to chose from were: Despicable Me 2 Lego Movie Frozen Monsters University Personally I would have preferred out of all of those to watch Lego Movie, however the vote swung almost exclusively in favour of Despicable Me 2. I enjoyed watching the film and had a few initial ideas of what we could do.

First Impressions

First Impressions I liked the idea of a community cinema experience, I thought it was clever and beneficial to BRIT's relationship to its community. I am very interested in this kind of thing after going to see a secret cinema production of Shawshank Redemption, I love film and immersive theatre, so this kind of experience is amazing for me to participate in. The one thing I was not looking forward to was the prospect of working with children, because I don't particularly enjoy doing theatre or things like that for children, as sometimes it can feel a little humiliating to act for young children.
