As the final performance is getting closer and closer, and due to the change of location from Grantham to the Lincoln Performing Arts Centre for the 10th of May performance, we have suddenly had to change a lot about our performance and modify it to the Zing Cafe in LPAC. Whilst everyone was given their spaces in the LPAC it was our job to secure the Zing Cafe space ourselves, after being told we were allowed the small space we were able to get, it was then clear that we had to make it look a lot more professional and clinical, as that has always been the aim that we have been given.
Jack and myself went and measured the spaces where we wanted to put our posters and signs to make it appear more like a professional work space. The only issue we are having with the posters is that the writing on them, when printed out as big as we want and need it to be, becomes very pixelated, after printing it out 3 times we have decided that we will have to change that also.
Researching our Market Research questions has been a challenge, knowning which questions to ask that would give us the most insight on what people would think of our products, of our company. I would have liked to have asked more questions that would have made people question the ethics of what it is we were trying to do, to question if it was okay to modify yourself so dramatically. Ethics was always something I wanted to explore a lot more but as we were told at the beginning of this term, our ideas would always change and we would probably end up with a performance a lot different than originally planned and we certainly have done that.
The Products that we are going to be showing are the skin cream, unnamed as that is one of the points of the market research questions, and ‘Bliss™‘, inspired by Endorphinate® a product that has been developed that ‘dramatically produce a state of calm, comfort, and well-being as well as increased energy and concentration’ (Pondera 2014). So basing the idea on that it is one of our ’emotions in a bottle’ lasting for just an hour as it is a free sample, the emotion we will be giving away is happy.
