Dirty Dozen: Preservation and Display Case

1. What is the project supposed to achieve? Organization of the Kitchen and display Visions Film Festival and Conference historical documents in a Display Case on UNCW campus.

2. Who is the customer? Visions Film Festival & Conference and the Film Studies Department: which includes FST Staff and students who may enjoy the display case.

3. What are the deliverables of the project? What will be literally displayed will be what is delivered. This will include the display of programs, showing the progression of the festival design and themes, also displaying the different shirt designs. Figuratively the display case will help create more awareness on campus about Visions Film Festival & Conference.

4. What is the budget? Right now there is no marketing budget. As of late, I have been just made aware that there is a display case available to us. The rest will be sweat equity in the amount of time that will be taken in order to organize the many artifacts in the kitchen.

5. How long will it take? I would like to complete the organization of materials in the kitchen by the end of February, depending how soon the Display Case is available, I would like to begin displaying materials as soon as possible.

6. What specific skills are needed? Definitely organizational skills: will need to organize material in the kitchen, take inventory of what is there, and find a way to keep the materials organized. Creativity will also be needed, because I will have to display materials in a way that will draw attention while also creating awareness about Visions Film Festival and Conference.

7. What special resources are needed? Vision Staff input on displayable material, and the assistance and permission from the faculty to display the material. But from my understanding they are more than willing to support the installment of a display case for Visions Film Festival and Conference.

8. Who is working the project? What is each person's job? At the moment, it is just me, but once the materials are ready to be displayed I will likely work close with the Marketing Department and the Art Department in creating installations.

9. What is the schedule? 
Feb 9 - Display Case Presentation
Feb 16 - Present Budget proposal for display cases
Feb 20 - Meet with Art Department and see what can realistically be done.
Mar 19 - Create Inventory of kitchen items
-------not sure when I get access to budget funds, so this month will be preparing the room, organizing, and trying to make as much room as possible, meeting with Dave Monahan and see about the--------
April 15 - First Installation to be displayed by the date of the festival.

10. What are the risks? (Small vs. large impact, likely vs. unlikely)

Large impact, likely: Not all Visions Film Festival & Conference materials are in the kitchen
Large impact, somewhat likely: Some material are located in a different area, possibly a different room. Large impact, unlikely: Materials are destroyed or trashed before I retrieve them.
Small impact, likely: May be a few items that are damaged, but there is still enough to preserve and display.
Small impact, unlikely: Run behind schedule, but I have given myself the most time after speaking with the Art department so even if it takes a while to get materials there is still enough time to create the installation.

11. How will you communicate with your team? I am pretty much working on the display myself, but I do have to keep in contact with the Marketing Department, and I do so at our weekly meeting. As far as the Art Department, we are also supposed to meet every other week. Other than that, we all keep contact through facebook on the Visions group or I can contact individual members through text.

12. How will you determine if the project is successful? I personally will only find this project successful if we are able to attract the attention of FST students who observe the display case. This would serve as a tool of awareness about Visions Film Festival & Conference on campus, and if we are able to make more students aware, I will see it as a success.
