Joe Radford: Difference between revisions

==Second Year==

In Joe's second year, beginning as [[Head of Marketing]], they completed the [[YSTV Branding 2020]] and implemented it for welcome week 2020. Along with that, they worked on the preparations for the [[Freshers 2020|Freshers Stream 2020]], along with creating all the marketing assets for it.

Also during the first term, they began work on an Untitled Quarantine Weekly Sequel Show (which later became [[Oranges and Lemons]], alongside [[Zoe Dickinson]]). The plan was for it to operate bi-weekly beginning from Week 5 and run initially until Week 11 of term 1. The first episode, which was a Halloween themed episode, debuted to much success. Trying to keep the show running often became difficult due to the fact that a second coronavirus lockdown was introduced after only one episode had gone out. However, with a lot of perseverance, Joe (together with Zoe and many wonderful producers) succeeded in completing the initial run of the show.

In Week 6 of Term 1, Joe was elected as [[Station Director]], following [[Zoe Dickinson]] stepping down the week before. Whilst this was an exciting prospect at first, they were immediately dropped in the deep end. The day after they were elected was Media Committee and two days later a second national lockdown began. Joe very quickly got to terms with the responsibilities entailed in station directing and began attempting to hold everything together as much as they could. Through talking to YUSU, they secured access to the studio for kit distribution and also YSTV were allowed to continue to film outdoors in pairs. Meaning that at least they hadn't failed in their new job within the first two days.

With second term being entirely online, Joe, alongside newly-elected [[Production Director]] and partner-in-crime, [[Alize Akturk]], began working on developing more online livestreams. [[YSTV on the Rocks]] continued, as well as creating [[Meme Stream Media]] and coming up with the idea for [[Society Scoop]]. The term was mostly dominated by YSTV's coverage of the [[Elections 2021|YUSU Elections 2021]]. This was co-ordinated entirely online, but was a fantastic success. ERN saw a special elections edition of [[YSTV on the Rocks]] featured in the After-Show and saw Joe running around between different places to deliver kit for the night.

The end of second term, Easter Break and the start of third term were all heavily dominated by [[Roses 2021]], officially known as Roses Unlocked. This Roses worked differently from most others, involving digitally assisted fixtures, that took place simultaneously in both York and Lancaster, being linked together by the coverage of YSTV and LA1TV. Joe led the coverage as Roses Lead and headed up the planning and the weekend itself. A gargantuan effort, involving 38 YSTV crew members (only 3 of whom had worked on a Roses before) and ultimately a huge success. Despite some setbacks, with one stream that didn't go live and a key member who dropped out on Saturday morning, Joe worked with the incredible team to hold everything together and ensure that things ran smoothly from that point onwards (which they were mostly successful in doing).

Towards the end of the Summer, Joe began work on the [[Fit For Another World - The Legacy of Anne Lister]] as Director of Photography.
