Mad Ferret, Do

What is your own role within the production team and what does this entail?

My roles in the event is Admin and Press. My role as admin is to write up all the notes from all the meetings we have had and collect all the evidence to put into a folder. The role of press is to advertise using sources such as magazine articles and creating press pacs to send to radio stations. It would be my job to right the proposals and articles to send to the magazine or radio stations.

How and why are these roles fulfilled in a live music team?

To fulfill my role as Admin I should be proficient in writing all the notes up each week and submit it to my ongoing folder of work, also to make sure that what is said in my minutes is carried out. My role as press would be carried out by writing a press pack to sell our event to local news papers or magazines.

Critically comment on the importance of the role and what would happen if the role was not tackled professionally.

If my role of press was not fulfilled, it could have a big effect on the possible promotion of the event. There would be more of a chance of the gig being noticed and people coming if it was in a news paper, but if I did not do the job it would not get there and it would be a promotional opportunity lost.

My other roll of Admin is important to fulfill because if I did not write up all the notes and minuet the meetings we would not have any evidence to submit at the end of the assignment and we would forget some of the smaller aspects that we wouldn’t have wrote down if we didn’t have an notes.

Choose another role from within the group and describe what it entails, in addition to how and why this role is fulfilled within a live music team.

Another role is Health & Safety, this role is to weigh up the risks and hazards that the could be in the place of the event and wether you are liable to be sued as a part of someone being hurt during the event. It is important to have a risk assessment so you are coved for any unwanted claim.

How does this role compare with yours and what are the different skills required for each?

The role of Health & Safety compares with my role of Admin in ways of the amount of paperwork and if that paperwork wasn’t done it would be a big deal and they are both extremely important. Different skills that are required are that for Health & Safety you need to use you brain to work out wether something is a hazard and how to make it safe, the role of admin is just writing notes down and copying thing and is only important for evidencing things.
