Research:

Intended Areas and Processes to Explore:

The aim in working for the Greater Manchester Fringe 2019 is to promote it. One of the processes that I intend to explore is through the production and distribution of a promotional content including a trailer and interviews with festival participants. Social media platforms will be utilised to display these, as well as to attract attention through informative text-based posts, gifs and photographs. This will allow me to use and develop my skills as a practitioner that I have gained over my Film and Media degree, as well as work experience, such as at the radio station Gaydio. For instance, I plan to use my understanding of interviewing to query producers about their shows and film and edit these whilst working as a team. This will enable us to use our own knowledge of media theory and production, in conjunction, to produce publicity material desired by its leader, Zena Barrie. As a result, we will be able to work within this sector of the media industry to excel our understanding of it.

Key Discussions:

From the beginning, I realised the importance of group work and time management. Although I found it to be challenging at first, due to members being available at different times, social media made it easier for us to arrange when could produce our advertising methods. Another key discovery relates to my interest in interviewing. In Glynne’s opinion, ‘to interview well is’ achieved through ‘knowing what your approach is, what your style is, and what the narrative is’ which is determined through ‘not only knowing as much as you can about your subject, but knowing as much as possible about the subject matter’ (2012:107-108). This stresses the importance of preparation and knowing specifics. In relation to the Greater Manchester Fringe, this informed me that I should research into the individuals I intend to interview and what their shows are about beforehand. Subsequently, I anticipate to use this knowledge to plan questions during Unit X, as well as in the future in hope of achieving a career in broadcast journalism and media related events.

Additional Influential Key Figures and Processes:

Before the production of content, I sought out influential material by the established Edinburgh Festival Fringe. This festival’s highest viewed YouTube video has received 44,000 views. In comparison, the Greater Manchester Fringe has an average of 30 to 40 views per video. I thought it would be of importance to learn from their promotional methods. For example, to advertise this year’s celebration, the Edinburgh Fringe created a video titled ‘Get ready for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe!’ which contains clips from past shows. It can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbT2gpN3KMQ. The video attracted a substantial 36,000 views. I suggested to my team that we should produce something similar which led to us gathering links to YouTube videos of previous productions on Greater Manchester Fringe’s YouTube channel. Furthermore, since we had confidence in using Adobe Premiere Pro, we agreed that these could be easily edited together to produce our own trailer.

In addition, social media had been identified as a method of promotion during meetings with Zena Barrie. Consequently, Edinburgh Festival Fringe’s Twitter account functioned as a source of inspiration because it has 170,000 followers, whilst Greater Manchester Fringe has 12,000. Therefore, this encouraged me to analyse how their tweets encouraged engagement. One tweet, which I found, inspired our Twitter posts and it can be viewed here: https://twitter.com/edfringe/status/1099634549464748034. It was direct and informative and indicated how potential applicants could perform at the show. Additionally, it attracted attention through emojis and a hashtag. In subsequence, I suggested that we incorporated these ideas by, for example, including the #GMFringe hashtag within tweets to make the Twitter account findable and incorporate bee emojis to coincide with the Manchester theme.

This research had a positive impact. According to the Management Association, on Twitter, ‘a “mention”…allows assessment of the extent of a user’s public interactions…followers can show engagement by favouriting a tweet…generally reflect(ing) endorsement… (and) retweeting extend(s) the reach of the tweet to the user’s own network’ (2018:291). In agreement, I created a tweets which were inspired by those of Edinburgh Festival Fringe and included the names of the places where shows were happening, the #GMFringe hashtag and bee emojis. As result, it gained five retweets and fourteen likes which is a stark increase to tweets without these features and indicates how engagement was both obtained and increased. The tweet can be found here: https://twitter.com/GMFringe/status/1103661714606878721. Likewise, the impact of their YouTube trailer, influenced us to create our own promotional trailer, which I helped to compile and edit, and can viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fz14CPX5qQ. It received 180 views demonstrating how past clips can evoke nostalgia and create excitement for the upcoming festival which creates higher viewer engagement. This use of Twitter and YouTube enabled the group to grow in confidence and also use Facebook to post informative posts that also increased public recognition of the festival. As a result, this indicates how research during the planning stages was influential and resulted in the team’s mounting awareness of how to market a festival and increase viewership of promotional content.
