Plan & Produce a Live-Streamed Music Event (Art School Live - May)
This is a great opportunity to gain hands-on experience in live event production.
There are a variety of roles available, including camera operators, sound mixers, vision mixers, photographers, graphic designers, social media officers, events managers, and journalists/reviewers.
The event takes place on May 15th in a studio in the SODA building. Before the show, there will be production meetings and training sessions to prepare the team. Check the full schedule for details.
We run these events regularly, so if you can’t take part this time, there will be future opportunities to get involved. If you’re interested, apply now and be part of the team.
What you need to bring to the table
- Commitment: we’re asking you to commit to the show date, and the dates of the meetings and training in advance of the show.
- You will also have to undertake some work in your own time away from these meetings (e.g. creating graphics/animations, writing reviews, scheduling social media posts etc.) – each team usually meets up on an informal basis in between the official meetings.
- You will be required to meet deadlines and work to schedules.
- This is a student-led project – bring your creativity to the table.
Students will be split into three teams to run all the different aspects of the project:
- Technical Broadcast Team (TBT) The technical team will operate the cameras, vision mixing, sound, lighting and run the graphics and pre-recorded packages into the live show.
- Events Management Team (EMT) The events management team will look after the smooth running of the show – liaising with guests, carrying out risk assessments, logistics and ensuring good communication.
- Marketing & Branding Team (MBT) The marketing and branding team will look after the creation of the show’s graphics along with creating and distributing social media and other promotional content.
