Hi again!
Day 14 of my placement I
start to write media release for my own photo exhibition that going to be held
on 12 September 2013. As usual I always refer to Ms Sofina after I done writing
media release before she pass it to the journalist or post it on the Pustaka
Sarawak Facebook page. Right after I wrote the media release I start to find
people and photographer to contribute their pictures for my photo exhibition.
We received a lot of feedback and email that would like to join the exhibition.
I was so happy because I was scared at first that no one will see our media
release and no one will contribute to the photo exhibition. The next day, which
is day 15 of my internship, me and Michelle start creating the poster for the
event and we agreed that Michelle poster to be use as the official poster for
the event because last time on the ShowTime event mine poster was chosen. I
also start planning what to do on that event and who to invite to join the event.
The whole week Ms Sofina let me and Michelle to concentrate on that event only
and didn’t give us any heavy job. A week after on day 21 of my placement, I
finalize everything and double check the kiosk and make sure everything is
there and the place is clean before the soft lunch on the next day. 3 days
after the soft lunch which is on 15 September, celebrity from TV3 Faiz, was a
reporter for Muzik- Muzik program on TV3 stop by on the photo exhibition and
take few shot and told me and Ms Sofina that he is doing a program on TV9
called “Makan angin”. He said our footage will be air on 11 October 2013. I am
so happy as well as my boss. I never thought that someone in the big company
would come to my photo exhibition. It was a big achievement for me. My media
release also on air in Era.Fm and published in few newspapers. It supposes to
be 1-week exhibition. Because of the good respond from the public, Ms Sofina
decided to continue the exhibition for a month.

Having TV coverage for your event will certainly raise its exposure and visibility. Were there any releases or permits that you have to sign before going ahead? Most of our events had a "shadower" - a person who would follow the photographer and ensure that whoever that was photographed, is correctly attributed in the caption sheet that we send out to the media.
