Mono Bar (Clever Lens)

Mono Bar is a venue in Birmingham that offers an event of sophistication for people who enjoy the “nightlife”. To continually promote our company we have been in communications with the owner of the bar (Omer) about covering one of their “bigger events” that goes on every month. Clever Lens were booked to cover an event that was taking place on the 29/04/11 where we would be doing photography and video. We had been working at events of a similar nature previously and knew how we wanted to carry out the evening. We made to the venue in good timing which allowed us to examine the areas we’d be working in, I acknowledged that it was not a very large venue so it would simplify the task we had to complete.

Our method of work had been quite successful leading up to this evening so we stuck to it. Omer had a popular DJ lined up for the night so he wanted us to get some video clips of him mixing the music and also the crowd’s reaction. The night went well as we were able to enjoy ourselves along the way, the shots we captured looked good, more people registered their interest in the company and took our business cards for further contact. I enjoy going to a spectrum of locations as it allows me to represent the company in a professional manner whilst also gaining valuable experience in all aspects of production work.

We spent the next day analysing and editing the final pictures that would be sent over to Omer ( www.mono-bar.co.uk ) once we were satisfied with them. We will spend some more time at a later date reviewing the video content we recorded and begin editing that into a video that highlights the event and evening. Clever Lens has previously done work for Mono Bar, we are now regarded as more credible media producer and they contact us in the occurrence of one of their major events. I believe that the steady progression we are making in terms of the service we provide and contacts we are building is a good thing that is strengthening our professional practice and knowledge.

The Memory Game (Crowd Radio)

Here is the link to our radio show: (  http://vimeo.com/16852799 ).

We’ve decided to use Vimeo as our sharing tool because of the belief that it is a more credibly professional way of showcasing our work. The likes of YouTube sometimes allow work to “get lost in the mist” and preferred placing our video on the 262MC Formats channel.
