Key Roles: Event Staff, Steward

​

Location: Falmouth Pier

Date: November 2014

​

Frozen at Christmas was a documentary filmed by a production company called Rondo who were working for Channel Four. They filmed a flashmob style performance of one of Frozen's most popular songs, Let It Go, which was then screened on Christmas Day in a programme examining the success of the animated film. Many University students were involved, with event management students helping with the filming and music and theatre students coordinating the main performance.

​

This was a very different and exciting experience for me as it was an event for television, something which I had not been involved with previously. My main role throughout the day was to act as steward for crowd control. As frozen is a very successful production, it attracted a lot of attention from locals, especially the children. Therefore crowd control was essential so as the filming would look as professional as possible.

​

I thought the day was very well organised and the stewards were fully briefed and informed of the running order. I was able to observe how a film crew manages a location, which was invaluable to me as this is something that I am keen to go into in the future. I also enhanced my crowd control skills, essential to an event managers repertoire.
