The Party

The party

This was the first time I created an event on Facebook and it is highly effective because not only does it take out the strain of individually calling up people but it also enables you do see who is most certainly attending, the people who might come and the people who are not attending. So it allows for a rough estimate rather than playing with luck and waiting to see who turns up. This allowed for a prediction of how much alcohol/cups to purchase.

I made a clear distinction allowing the viewer to see that is is a 'Media music video (drinkup/party).' With the drinkup/party being in brackets allowing for guests to clearly see it is essentially for my media work. Currently we have 22 guests attending out of a possible 94, which is perfect. The reason the number of potential guests is so high is because I do not wish to rely on for instance 30 people to come to only find out 10 can make it so I invited much more people to balance out the average of who is coming and who will not but to also allow to make enough guests for a party scene both male and female.

'Yo! basically for my media we need to shoot a music video, and we wish to shoot a house party/drink up. Long story short, come my house get waved and what not, boogie and smile for the camera. Please note* Dress accordingly; not too casual. We want it to be as authentic as possible so come in the gear you would usually wear to a rave/party and yeah nothing much more to say, hope yous can come.

the nearest tube station is HAGGERSTON which is located at the back of my house. An alternative is LIVERPOOL STREET and upon arriving you can get the 149 or 242 to DOWNHAM ROAD/HAGGERSTON STATION. This also includes if you are coming from North london, you can get a 243,149 and 67; getting off at DOWNHAM ROAD/HAGGERSTON STATION also. the 236 stops right outside my house and this is by far the easiest way to get to mine so if you live near one hop on it and get it to Brownlow Road. SIMPLES

Almost forgot! Drink will be there but we are not a distillery, please bring drinks too. If you don't, you may be utterly sober and we don't want that, ya dig?

Shown above is the more info section regarding more detail. Guests are once again reminded that this is a music video for my media studies and I begin specifying how to interact when at the party, trying to get across that they should be loosened up and enjoy it like any other party... only with a camera. Details on how to get to my house is mandatory and is scripted in the second paragraph with a series of different routes for people coming from all over town. Finally I let the guests know that alcohol will be present but it is on a first come first serve basis and I tried not emphasize on the fact that people should bring their own as it may discourage them but I reinforced it by saying they may be 'utterly sober' so this hopefully got my message across.

A big bottle of Jack Daniels is the profile picture because it instantly connotes to the audience what is going on. I chose to use a broadly acclaimed brand so the viewers know what they should expect and generally speaking, from most college parties I have attended this seems to be the drink of choice including Smirnoff and E&J (most likely due to the flexible prices). I assigned my fellow group members as admins allowing them to edit the profile and invite the guests they wished to bring along.
