Present: Shelly, Sophie, Erin
All looked at the results from the questionnaire:
Most people who answered the questions were aged between 15-25
Nearly 90% of people who answered were female
Majority of people who answered were students
58% people had never been to the ballet but 42% had - not too far from half and half
People who go: 80% went to the ballet rarely, 20% went occasionally - visits to the ballet are never frequent
People who don’t go: most people said they don’t have the opportunity, both economically and in terms of proximity to a theatre
Most common perceptions of the ballet were that is was formal, traditional and expensive
The most interesting aspect of ballet for people who answered was the choreography, followed by costumes then atmosphere and music - narrative had the least appeal
When asked about ticket prices most answered with an average of £50
When asked which social media people used the most 100% of people said facebook, 95% said instagram and 87% said snapchat
Analysing these results we all concluded that cost, accessibility and opportunity were the most important aspects that our campaign should focus on, as well as making ballet feel more contemporary.
We all generated a range of ideas from these results:
Creating a map campaign that would show people their proximity to landmarks in their cities, including the closest theatre/ballet studio
Creating a campaign based around the cost of tickets, showing equivalent items that could be purchased for the same price as a cheap ballet ticket (£3 - sandwich, coffee, pin badge, ballet ticket) (£15 - dinner, train ticket, t-shirt, make up, ballet ticket)
We all defined what mediums and aesthetics we wanted to use within the campaign:
A campaign that utilises illustration and text as apposed to photography
‘On trend’ design - more minimal, fresh, brightly coloured
Possibly including traditional print methods/textures to represent the traditional elements of ballet
We all made a list of end products that would need to be considered:
- Posters
- Moving posters (for screens)
- Snapchat filters
- GIF’s (for use on social media)
- Merchandise (tote bags, pins?)
- Mock-up of website
- Banners and icons for social media
- Mock-up of printed collateral (leaflets, publications etc)
We all brainstormed a selection of questions to ask Shelly’s ballet contact
Actions:
Shelly contact ballet girl about posing for some photographs and possible interview
All create some roughs and wireframes from the generated ideas
All find examples of illustration and design that would be attractive to the target audience
All make lists that could be included in the map and price ideas
All bring some form of visual cue to the next meeting
Date of next meeting: 21/02/2017
