how I have presented my FMP

1. Presentation
Succession by Madeleine Ross

2. Presentation
As my work is going to be presented in York
Museum Trust, I have lots to talk about
regarding presentation. Although we have only
had a small part to play regarding everything in
the gallery and how things will be displayed, we
have always been involved and had some sort of
input regarding the pieces. In this presentation I
will be discussing some of this input, and how
else I can present my work and my project.

Earlier this month we got the chance to go into the gallery and look at them setting up for
the Grayson Perry Exhibition. Our pieces are in the main gallery area, and here are some
images of the plinths that some of our works will displayed and where the screen will go
that will show our videos. The gallery it’s in is really airy and is surrounded by modern
and contemporary art which is good because my piece is about
contemporary women.
Here is the plinth and
the label which
displays the name of
our works, the run
time, a short
description on the
piece and our names.
The gallery designed
the layout of the
label but we wrote
our own descriptions
of the pieces.
On this wall over here
there will be an
overall word on the
project including both
us media students and
the fashion students
who are taking part in
the project.
The
screen/projector
will be on top of
this red plinth

Working with Sarah Yates from the YMT and liaising with her about our ideas and
projects has been a great experience and it has given me new skills for working in the
media industry. For our work to finally be presented in the gallery, we had a lot of
meetings regarding our projects at every step of the way. We discussed ideas and once
we got to production we got frequent feedback from her on our work and where to
improve things.
Because we were working in correspondence with the gallery, we had to work to their
deadlines of the exhibition opening, which luckily aligned with UALs deadlines,
although we had to have our final draft completed a week before, as our pieces had to
be sent off to be subtitled. This is to make it accessible to all people who may come
into the gallery or view online. We also has specific fonts we were required to use, San
Serif fonts as they are easier for people to read, and we had to do those in specific
sizes.
Due to covid we were not able to go into the gallery until a few weeks into production,
where we finally got to see the space our work would be presented, images shown in
previous slide. Wandering round and looking at the actual space helped visualize our
work in the gallery, and how Sarah and the team at YMT would use to space. We also
got to see the designs for the labels and we were asked to write a 30 word description
of our pieces to be displayed on the plinth.

Royalty Free Music- Because it is being displayed in the
gallery for public view, I had to use royalty free music to
make sure there was no copyright infringement. I got
the music for my grandmas segment from a creator on
YouTube and the music for my section, Madeleine,
royalty free music from the website Felysian Studio’s. I
was lucky to find music that matched so well tonally
with what I wanted to produce, as I was worried I
wouldn't’t find the right music that was royalty free.

6. Website Slide
Here are some screenshots of a website I made
using Adobe Spark to present my work on. It’s
very simple, includes some images from the
piece and some comments from me about the
project. I could add more things, however I think
the website reflects the simplicity of the
documentary making them cohesive.

11. YouTube
I uploaded my documentary to YouTube on public so it’s available for others to see,
including a description of the film and a little bit about the Grayson Perry exhibition. I
have also added poetic documentary in the title as when I was doing my research,
searching that specific phrase lead me to many student and amateur pieces that helped
in my understanding. This will also get it out to more people and there is a higher chance
of it being seen.

12. Twitter
Here is the twitter account I made to
promote my documentary. Like
YouTube I included a short
description of the piece to draw the
target audience in, and the same
image included on the website to
bring cohesion. I like this image as it
includes both me and my grandma
from years past which fits with the
theme of the progression of time and
the generational aspect.
I included my website in the bio also
to view my other works and the
progress behind it. I used the image
of Claire’s eye as the profile picture to
bring it back to the initial stimulus of
Grayson Perry.

13. Appropriate Techniques
I think the techniques I have used in this PowerPoint are appropriate for getting my
piece out there. Plenty of film makers use social media pages such as twitter and
Instagram to post updates about their works, keeping the target audience in the
loop and updated on any changes, and use the platforms as a tool to draw in
viewers and pick up momentum.
Creating a website is also appropriate as it’s a good way to include lots of
information and helpful links in one place, helping potential viewers and the target
audience navigate resources easily. You can include links to funding pages, social
media links etc.
Uploading on YouTube is also an obvious choice as it is the biggest free online
streaming platform, and depending on the algorithm and your target audience,
could be viewed by many people.
Finally, although it is a moving video piece and not a print piece, putting it in the
gallery is also an appropriate choice as it is in response to Grayson Perry’s works,
and will also be seen by those who visit the Museum and those who go online.
