Dirty Dozen: After Party


1. What is the project supposed to achieve?
The Visions6 After Party is to celebrate those involved and who attended Visions Film Festival & Conference. It is a time for networking, socializing, and celebrating all that we accomplished as part of Visions6.

2. Who is the customer?
Our customer is the guests of Visions6 as well a all of the filmmakers and scholars involved in the festival & conference.

3. What are the deliverables of the project?
It is projected that we will have awards for the winning filmmakers and scholars as well as food and activities to promote socializing/networking for our guests.

4. What is the budget?
 As of now, the budget is $1,000.

5. How long will it take?
This event will be held on Friday, April 15th and I plan on using each week diligently to create an amazing event with the Visions6 team.

6. What specific skills are needed?
 I will need to have communication skills, especially over the phone. I must also have the ability to budget, plan, and organize all materials needed for this party. Creativity is necessary to decorate the party space, as well as the ability to work with others to create an inviting atmosphere for guests.
 

7. What special resources are needed?

It's important to have a list of local businesses to ask for donations from. It is also important to work with local venues in order to have an amazing space for the after party.

8. Who is working the project? What is each person's job?
My role is to lead the planning of the After Party. I am working with Adrienne, the head of the Development and Fundraising Department, to make sure this event is everything that it can be. I will also have Carson, who will assist me with all technical aspects of the party, and Samantha, who will be my assistant to make sure that we obtain everything we need and everything runs according to our schedule.

9. What is the schedule?
 
    • 3 Location Options by 1/25
    • Looking into Catering Option, confirmed by by 2/23
    • Confirm DJ/Band by 3/8
    • Equipment & Other Supplies by 3/15
    • Working on Due Date for Budget with Department before end of February
    •  Day Before: Confirm that everything is reserved and all items are present.
      Day of Show: Arrive early to venue and set up party

10. What are the risks? (Small vs. large impact, likely vs. unlikely)
  • Large impact, likely: We won't give enough business to the bar at our location, making it not worth it to them.
  • Large impact, somewhat likely: We lose our location to a wedding/bigger event.
  • Large impact, unlikely: Filmmakers and scholars will not come, thus networking will be at a minimum. 
  • Small impact, likely: We will not have every decoration that we plan for.
  • Small impact, unlikely: We will end up losing the location.
11. How will you communicate with your team?
We will communicate through our team's Facebook page and through calls and texting.

12. How will you determine if the project is successful?
By the amount of people present and enjoying themselves as well as how the filmmakers and scholars receive the event, making them want to tell their friends to submit to Visions7!
