Today was the launch of the Enterprise module which will be running alongside the Discourse module. After a brief insight to Graduate+, Emma delivered a very exciting presentation for the launch of this module. I love the concept of this task. Forming my own festival has been something i've always wanted to do and I'm really looking forward to getting stuck into the challenge. I've already started to form some ideas. I really want to do well on this course so i'm focusing on my time management, which is what i feel like let me down last time. I'm going to start dedicating more time do all my work as we go along and not at the end of the module like previously i have done.

# data[].attributes.body
We started the Discourse module today and im half looking forward to it, half dreading it. Over the next 8 weeks or so we have to write an 2000 word essay on a question of our choice. I've never enjoyed writing, so having a whole module dedicated to it is quite daunting. On the bright side though, I may not enjoy writing but i don't think I'm bad at it. I think the dislike comes from leaving the writing portion till last and then having to spend a large chunk of time on only writing. I want to become more time efficient with this course so hopefully this won't be a problem. Another positive is that we get to write about a topic of our own choosing, so I need to make sure I pick something that im heavily interested in. This will also make the task much easier. The presentation from Ally was really helpful and cleared up a lot of worries i had about this module.

I want the feel of the festival to be completely different to your usual film fests so I'm considering having every location of each showing to be open air with visually stunning scenery. This waterfall in iceland is a strong potential for a location.

# data[].attributes.body
https://madridfilmoffice.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Cineteca-900x600.jpg

I found this beautiful opera house in Madrid which made me consider using Spain as my location, after finding multiple beautiful opera houses to host each film of the festival.

# data[].attributes.body
Would like to know location before I think of the name
name could be influenced by country/region

Theme confirmed: Film & Music
Film's being played with new soundtracks being performed live over the top at different venues.

Survey for target audience opinions on which way to go?

big bands & small films, or small bands & big films?
scattered around the a continent (europe) a country (uk) or a city(birmingham)?

# data[].attributes.body
peru, inca trail, rainbow mountains, cusco

films set up along the inca trail, different artists playing their own soundtracks

# data[].attributes.body
Idea 1
Motion - Birmingham
5 locations across Birmingham
3 Films+ 3 Artists at each location throughout the day
Outdoor and indoor
Small musicians creating their own score for visually stunning films live.
Easy to create my own footage, images etc.
Not as experimental? as idea 2
Draws attention to local bands using blockbuster films.

Idea 2
Exact same idea as idea 1 but in a different location, between either Reykjavik, Paris or Budapest.

Reykjavik - samtök - icelandic for movement, which refers to the moving image of a film and the movement between each location within the festival.beautiful natural locations (Seljalandsfoss etc.)
Paris - film sonore “film sound” in French
rich film history, beautiful city, distinct style for influence
Budapest - mozgás -beautiful city, hot climate, already been there with my own compositions (footage+image)

Idea 3
Kuyuy - film, music & hiking
- means motion in Quechua

Film festival hosted along the Inca trail from Cuzco to Machu Piccu over 5 days.
Each day shows 2 big films with 2 big artists.
Walk to each location during the day, films start later in the evening.
From primary research, the environment is different along the trail.
Peruvian style art.
Mix of theme from film, music, travel and hiking.
Camp at each location throughout the 5 days.
Difficult to produce footage & images

"Marcos Zapata, also called Marcos Sapaca Inca, was a Peruvian painter, born in Cuzco. He was one of the last members of the Cuzco School, an art center in which Spanish painters taught native students to paint religious works. Zapata introduced elements from his own lands into his paintings. For instance, his 1753 rendering of the Last Supper shows Jesus and his disciples gathering around a table laid with guinea pig and glasses of chicha.
Between 1748 and 1764, Zapata painted at least 200 works. 24 of them portrayed the life of Saint Francis of Assisi for the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin of Santiago, Chile. He painted 50 linen cloths with the Laurentina Litany for the Cathedral of Santo Domingo, Cusco. Red and blue were prominent colors in his palette.
His influential style developed between 1748 and 1773. He is known for his beautiful portraits of the Virgin Mary, almost always surrounded by cherubim. Zapata incorporated allegorical subjects in his Madonnas. Christoph Thomas Scheffler wrote in 1732, that the painter was inspired by prints of the subject. His compositions are didactic, with a relatively simple reading of complex theological concepts."

Some inspiration towards designing a logo for "Kuyu", which is the inca trail version of the festival. 1/3

# data[].attributes.body
3/3

# data[].attributes.body
I was looking at creating a logo for the inca trail version of the festival to see if there was any interesting styles to influence my decision. Although the peruvian styles were very interesting, they didnt really suit the style i usually prefer to go for.

# data[].attributes.body
I was just messing around with different styles by messing with the font placement and adding in shapes. This was for the Icelandic version of my festival idea SAMTOK.

# data[].attributes.body
Here was some ideas i had for the parisien version of the festival. Purely aethestic just to get the creativity going. This is definitely the style im looking at going for as i prepare my ideas.

# data[].attributes.body
This was a design i made based off the metro lines in Paris. I'm planning on potentially making a font using these lines from a sideline remote recording by christoph grunberger.

# data[].attributes.body
This was my first attempt at making my own font for my festival. At the moment im just messing around, trying to build some ideas. Although quite simple, I do like the design of this font. Would like to have more context to it though.

# data[].attributes.body
This was another font that i designed myself. The flicks on the side of the letters resemble the side of the Eiffel tower which is obviously in Paris and the red white and blue representing the french flag. I enjoyed trying this. Most likely will create my own font for the festival and i have decided to base my festival in Paris.

I've been searching through Behance to find some inspiration for my font design. This is a very creative and original font i found. Quite a simple structure of the lettering but with different designs formed on each letter. I've been considering doing something similar with maybe creating an intricate design to place on a simple pre existing type face.

starting to attempt some artistic ideas using the different names i have come up with

# data[].attributes.body
some further ideas of my own font for the festival, with a new name.

# data[].attributes.body
I've decided to make a last minute change of the name of my festival. From now on it'll be called Benshi Film Festival. I chose this because a Benshi in japanese culture, was an old entertainer who used to narrate over silent films. I feel like this is related to my idea of having live bands play new music over films. This also means i'm goiung to change the location for a final time to Tokyo, Japan and surrounding areas. This isnt an issue regarding ideas i had when the location was Paris. Tokyo has it's own metro system and i can use that with my ideas.

# data[].attributes.body
Here is one of my ideas for the festival font. I wanted to reinterpret the bold strokes used in japanese writing with a modern western twist to it.

# data[].attributes.body
Once again, Ive made a change. The festival will be called Motion Film Festival and will take place in Birmingham. I've made this change due to the fact it would be much harder to gain content from Tokyo or Paris. I can still create similar ideations from my previous iteration of the festival so not much has changed.

# data[].attributes.body
I came up with the idea of using RCA cables as a theme for my festival logo. RCA cables are the cables that plug into televisions from VHS players and other devices. The cables provide the Audio & Visuals for the TV. This is relevant to my music & film festival. I also liked the universal colours used with these cables to differentiate between the three cords, red, yellow and white. I decided to add a blue background to complete the primary colours of red, yellow and blue.

# data[].attributes.body
I spent some time looking at using different font's and landed on the font 'Crucial' which is downloaded for free off a designer i found on Behance. The name motion relates to motion picture and the motion of moving from location to location to view each film, so I added multiple layers of the same font to depict movement from the actual font.

Short Waves Festival is an international short film festival which dates back to 2009. In 2021 we redesigned the whole brand and created a visual identity of this year's edition which main theme was Mirror Mirror. Why? There are multiple answers. It is first and foremost our new normal, our experiences, changes, and different reality that make us examine ourselves more intently. The pandemic has significantly intensified the Internet immersion and the dual functioning in online/offline mode.

We are also not afraid of literality - the mirror not only reflects reality, but creates it as well - just like films that present the complexity of being here and now. The motif of a mirrored reflection inside a pendant that is a core of a poster illustrating the 13. edition of Short Waves Festival and Mirror Mirror motto, takes a closer look at contemporary humans - layered and extreme: bored and intrigued, narcissistic and uncertain, lonely and surrounded by people, introverted and extroverted.

During the pandemic, we could watch films. But only at home. Mostly alone. On our (comparatively) small screens. It just wasn't the same.

With the Sydney Film Festival returning just as lockdown restrictions eased in NSW, we knew this was the perfect opportunity to celebrate what we'd all had to go without for so long - gathering together, in those big, projector-lit rooms. Laughing, cheering and gasping together. Simply feeling together.

It's a simple, beautiful thing - and it was coming back. And our bright, bold, and endlessly

energetic identity could give it the comeback party it deserved.

Posted on 03.05.2016

In honour of Deaf Awareness Week this week, we've put together a short guide for venues and festivals interested in improving access for Deaf and hard of hearing customers. You might be wondering why they should - well, while it's a common misconception that Deaf people wouldn't be interested in live music, this couldn't be further from the truth. What's more, 11 million people in the UK experience some degree of hearing loss - that's 1 in 6 of us! No venue or festival, no matter its size, should be providing a sub-par service to a sixth of its customers. Here's what you can do:

Ensure equal access to booking tickets

Our research has shown that venues and festivals not providing accessible booking systems is one of the largest barriers Deaf and disabled people face when seeking to access live music. This is easily remedied by providing a variety of different means to book tickets and discuss access requirements - i.e. online, via email, over the phone, and face-to-face - allowing people with differing communication needs access the service.

Additionally, many deaf people use Next Generation Text Relay, a service designed to enable deaf people to communicate over the phone, with an operator acting as an intermediary between someone using a text phone and someone using a telephone. On your contacts page you can state that you welcome calls from people using Typetalk to demonstrate your awareness. All customer service staff should be briefed on the etiquette of using this system.

Provide a flexible personal assistant ticket scheme

Deaf and disabled people should be able to apply for an extra ticket, free of charge, if they would be unable to attend a gig or outdoor event without the active support of another person, ensuring that they do not face additional costs in meeting their access needs. Some Deaf or hard of hearing customers may require, for example, a communication support worker whose job it is to enable Deaf people who use British Sign Language or another communication method to communicate with hearing people.

If you're not sure how to validate requests for personal assistant tickets, check out our guide to evidencing disability.

Update your box office or wristband exchange

Having an accessible box office or wristband exchange makes a great difference to the customer experience. Have your box office or wristband exchange fitted with hearing loops (these enable people who use hearing aids to pick up an amplified audio feed), and provide your staff with disability equality training.

Improve access to the performance itself

There are a variety of adjustments that can be made to improve the experience of a live music event for someone with a hearing impairment:

Hearing Loops and Infared Systems can give hearing aid users a better auditory experience

British Sign Language interpretation of lyrics and speech - see for yourself what sign language interpretation can add to a performance:

If you can offer any of these options, shout about it! List them on your website and contact local deaf organisations to promote what is on offer.

Welcome assistance dogs

Increasing numbers of deaf people make use of Hearing Dogs. Ensure that you have a policy in place to accomodate them, brief staff on this, and include it in your online access information.

Make sure your staff are aware

Regardless of what adjustments have been made to facilities, lack of staff awareness leads to bad customer service and can ruin the experience of a gig or festival. Ensuring that members of staff are fully trained in what access provision is in place, what it's for, how this works and what policies or processes are used can make all the difference to a customer's experience.

Join our Charter of Best Practice

If this has piqued your interest and you'd like to find out more about improving the accessibility of your venue, festival or event, please get in touch - we offer practical guidance on improving all areas of access and recognise achievements through the Bronze, Silver and Gold levels of our Charter of Best Practice.

7 things you can do to make festivals and venues deaf-friendly

Posted on 03.05.2016 In honour of Deaf Awareness Week this week, we've put together a short guide for venues and festivals interested in improving access for Deaf and hard of hearing customers. You might be wondering why they should - well, while it's a common misconception that Deaf people wouldn't be interested in live music, this couldn't be further from the truth.

# data[].attributes.body
After speaking to my Peter, he helped me decide on a new name that really embodies the concept of mixing live music with film. I've decided to call my festival Hybrid Film Festival.

# data[].attributes.body
i was interested in using 3D design for the logo so i spent some time experimenting with that on illustrator. It was very simple to do so i tried to develop more ideas using 3D. The inspo came from seeing the 3D design of the "Thessaloniki International Film Festival".

# data[].attributes.body
i tried the same logo with some different colours, but purple is a colour i would like to include in my palette.

# data[].attributes.body
I created a neater version of my logo idea. This before i added the 3D effect to it. The tilted 'I' will be the icon the logo is based around.

# data[].attributes.body
I experimented with colours on each version i produced. This is the 3D version of the last logo.

# data[].attributes.body
I felt that the last logo was quite basic and there was a lot of space, so to fill it out i duplicated it and messed around with the arrangement. This is the colour palette im most likely to use at the moment.

# data[].attributes.body
This is an iteration of the logo experimenting further with 3D. Considering using this for a poster design.

# data[].attributes.body
I reverted back to using my original colour palette idea, inspired by RCA cables which represent the audio and visual theme of the festival. The 3D effect, effected the colouring of each piece and also didn't register in white which is an important part of the palette.

# data[].attributes.body
I still wasnt happy with my logo. I felt like it didnt fit in with festival theme and the colour to me felt adolescent which isnt the vibe i want to give off. To help i sketched out 50+ logo ideas in my sketchbook to find some inspiration.

# data[].attributes.body
I wanted to introduce some context to the logo which refers to birmingham. I created a birmingham mood board to try and find a focus to base my logo around.

# data[].attributes.body
I found the selfridges building quite iconic in the image of birmingham. It's a beautiful building which stands in the centre of the city. I drew up the shape of the building on Illustrator and tried to combine my own custom typography with the shape to see if i could create a logo.

# data[].attributes.body
instead of fitting type into the shape i decided to use the shape in its entirety but in a more subtle way which i repeated. i also wanted to use neon green and black for my colour palette. i want the festival to have a futuristic trendy feel to it and i think the neon green helps this a lot. as for the type i found a free font on Behance called "Gropled". I used this and then edited the type myself stretching out the shapes of certain letters to align the whole logo. this was a style i seen that i added to my mood board.

# data[].attributes.body
going off the other style of stretching out letters. i attempted to change up the arrangement to have a logo that could just be an icon.

# data[].attributes.body
this is the same logo as before with a design added that i also made in illustrator. still experimenting with colours

# data[].attributes.body
i've edited the original version to have thinner lines so the text is more visible.

# data[].attributes.body
I really like this line work style, so i've attempted to make my own for use on posters and tickets etc. Going to attempt to work this into my identity.

# data[].attributes.body
my first attempt at a poster featuring the wavy lines, a different arrangement of the logo type and a design using the selfridges shape. i like this colour scheme the most so far.

# data[].attributes.body
a more simplistic approach to a poster. Inspired by the workshop that martin put on for us. His work with the city of coventry where they created a whole identity with just a series of shapes was influential with my approach to this project.

# data[].attributes.body
here is an attempt to create some interesting patterns to use across my whole project. The circles were inspired by the design on the selfridges building.

# data[].attributes.body
This is my final edition of my logo for my festival. I decided to simplify it and tighten it up a bit. Ive filled out the selfridge shape with a neon green and resized it so the type overlaps.

# data[].attributes.body
heres a combination of the selfridge pattern and the wavy lines. i think i will use this for my posters.

# data[].attributes.body
couple of mockups for tickets that will be sold for the festival. qr code to speed up entry process.
