Commission Exhibition: Pitch

The following powerpoint is Ollie Gapper, Lily Kale, Salvador Dewald & my commission pitch explaining our process, developing our concept for our exhibition through venue choice, series placement, lighting choices & a series of other decisions which we made as a team.
Commission Pitch1

During the pitch we will all speak about our different roles and what decisions we were mainly involved in. As curator, Ollie will take charge of the majority of the pitch particularly our exhibition concept, printing choices & the self evaluation, while I will talk about the venue, explain floor plans & lighting choices, Lily will discuss the press release & images labels and Salvador will explain his designs for the poster & exhibition program.

After we did initial research into the possible venue choices we decided to choose Fort Amherst due to its advantages in displaying our work. I visited the location & made floor plans, and felt very strongly about designing and making a scale model as well as figuring out work placement & helped the group figuring out lighting for each of their photographs.
Ollie was very keen to research different printing choices for all of us due to his experience in this area of photography; after discussing with each of us the effect we wanted to create, he helped us choose the perfect printing paper & process.
Lily thought that her strongest skill was writing therefore she was best for writing the press release for our exhibition, which she did by using a combination of all of our concepts, the exhibition concept and gallery details. She was also in charge of supporting us in designing labels & writing to go with our series of images.
As Salvador is skilled on InDesign he would be best at designing the poster to advertise our exhibition; he also decided to create a possible exhibition program which would be handed out during the private viewing.

We have worked really well as a team and despite the limited time we had due to the fashion unit shoots, we have worked efficiently and produced a solid pitch and exhibtion plan that we would all be happy to create. We worked well as a team dividing out the roles in response to each individual's strengths while also collaborating & supporting one another.
