ReplyDeletePros
.Lot of people showed up, so points for advertising.
.I loved the movie choice.
Cons
.Nothing really, just advertise the whole bring your pillows thing a bit more.
woo hoo! I had a lot of fun :)
ReplyDeletePros:
- High attendance
- great overall "vibe", in that people came to have a chill time and that's what they received!
Cons:
- had some trouble with the speakers in terms of static, but that was mostly unavoidable (caused by electricity from the power cord interfering with the audio cables, but there was noo way the battery would have lasted without it). Maybe for next time, we (tech) can try to find a way to keep the computer running without the interference
overall, I had a lot of fun, and will look forward to this event again next year!
The turn-out at the event was amazing. I wasn't really expecting too many people, but it looked like we had over 200 people.
ReplyDeleteA couple of things that could have been better:
1) The projector and the screen were really bad, in the sense that the screen wasn't big enough and the quality could have been a lot better. Since it was a "Movie" night, one of our priorities should have been the presentation of the movie and making the environment a lot better.
2) Find a way to make the popcorn and hot chocolate serving much more efficient because people were getting frustrated when they didn't get their popcorn.
3) Sound could be improved a lot more. (Tech is working on it so don't worry about it), but it will help create a much more nicer environment.
Amazing turnout, you guys did a great job advertising!
ReplyDeleteImprovements:
- Screen was kind of small
- Too high of a demand for Hot Chocolate and Popcorn that we didn't have adequate supply for (prepare more in advance and have a crew making more at all times)
- Social: don't stress yourself out so much and be so humble by taking all the responsibility on yourselves, we want to help/support you as a leadership team!!
Overall, Social did a great job (especially for introducing a new event). I'm very impressed with how you aren't making a waste of this year by trying so many things. :)
Huge turnout, good movie, people enjoyed it.
ReplyDeletePros:
Turnout, people's opinions, general feel of the environment. Positive from everyone, no one as far as I know complained about the small screen or poor sound. Free food and drinks is always nice. Perhaps a new way to divvy up the popcorn would have been better than just handing out bags of it.
Cons:
Surprise! Screen size and sound quality :)
Tech is working on sound, Screen size could have been a bit bigger, and a some sort of way of weighing down the screen would have been better. We improvised with tables, but it would have been better if we planned some method of weighing down the backdrop. Food and drinks were a bit slow, not sure how that could be improved.
Overall, great event, would be nice to hold it again with a different movie. Perhaps Despicable Me :)
I think movie night was super dopeeeee.
ReplyDeleteThere was nothing really bad about it. I think that the only thing that we as a class could work on is signing up people to put the screen up well before 7:30 or maybe even 7:00 because Ian, Justin, and I were in a super rush to get it up.
There were a lot of people that were just waiting in line for popcorn so maybe just start popping a little earlier as well.
Other that it was an amazing turnout and everybody who came had an amazing time. I'm a super optimist so I say we should definitely do not only one but a couple more movie nights this year!!!!!
I loved this event!
ReplyDeletePros:
-People were naturally attracted to it because it was free/we offered free refreshments/the movie was awesome.
-Cleanup went pretty efficiently
-People could bring friends from other schools
-Pretty good food!
Cons:
-Popcorn was really slow, but there really isn't a way to fix that while still maintaining the freshly-popped quality - maybe serve something else next time (chips, candy)?
-Sound (a bit too loud) and screen size
All in all, we tried something new and I think it was a great success. I look forward to having more of these in the future! :)

ReplyDeletePros:
- Great Attendance, both because of effective promotion (I'll explain the exception to this later) and the fact that this was free. I think free events like this that allow people to just relax are awesome, and definitely something to be continued :)
- General fun atmosphere
- Relatively efficient clean up, not too difficult to tidy things up (besides leftover half-made hot chocolate at the end)
Cons:
- (Some of) Facebook Promotion: The posts (as opposed to Pf Pic) promotion kind of failed. It wasn't hard to tell that the most effective promotion generally came from profile pictures as opposed to posts. They pop up on the top of people's newsfeeds more, and in general spread information a lot quicker and to a wider audience.
- Popcorn + Hot Chocolate Distribution: Very inefficient, not sure if this is due to a lack of supplies at the "beginning" (first half of the movie) rush or due to a lack of extra volunteers making more. Whichever the case is, I think that would greatly benefit "customer" satisfaction at this event.
- Screen size (I didn't think this was too much of an issue but definitely something to note)
I loved this event!
ReplyDeleteThere were many pros for me.
-I loved to see how many people actually showed up to this, that was awesome!!
-The sound was definitely loud enough, I'm sure some neighbors thought Lynbrook was being bombed at the beginning of the movie.
-Free! Not paying a dime was great.
-I liked being able to bring my own chair and just hangout. Definitely a cool experience.
Cons:
-People needed to be setting up the screen way earlier than it happened.
-Although popcorn and food are always an issue, it didn't seem too bad.
-It was a social event, with everyone nearer to the front watching, and those in the back talking with friends (not sure if this was necessarily a bad thing)
Why don't we have more of these? They're awesome!
I wasn't expecting so many people to be there, but the turnout was awesome!
ReplyDeletePros:
-Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves, since it was a free and very relaxing event. I felt like it was a generally chill and fun atmosphere.
-Cleanup went well.
Deltas:
-More efficiency/more volunteers signed up for popcorn/hot chocolate.
-Probably could have started setting up sooner?
-Screen size was too small.
Overall, I thought this was a great event. Of course, since it's our first time doing something like this, there are things that can and should be improved, but I felt like everything that people are mentioning here can easily be fixed for next time. Great job Social!
I didn't expect so many people to come, but it seemed like there were around 150 attendees if not more, and they all seemed to be enjoying themselves :)
ReplyDeleteCons:
The screen size was too small to see the movie clearly from the steps to the den. I thought I overheard someone saying that they intended to make the screen bigger, but they couldn't find a way to do it.
There was a severe underestimating for the amount of hot chocolate needed to feed the greedy children at the drinks counter. We had to send Anshul out to buy more cocoa mix in the middle of the event.
Microwaving the popcorn one bag at a time in three microwaves was inefficient and tedious. We ended up having to microwave three or four bags at once (burning some too) to try t match the demand for popcorn.
Most everything I want to say has already been said.
ReplyDeleteJust a small thing: I feel like during set up, volunteers were running around looking for supplies last-minute/just realizing that we needed them.
For future events, It might be good to plan out a supplies list.
I think we got managed this time around, but we won't always be so lucky ^^
Otherwise, very enjoyable event!
If this might turn into something recurring, we should look into buying a screen for lynbrook.
I think overall, this event went really well! There were a lot more attendees than I expected, and most people seemed to be having fun:
ReplyDeletePros:
-good turnout
-interesting movie choice
-relaxed atmosphere encouraged people to come.
-sound was good- I could hear everything all the time, but I MIGHT use subtitles
-free food was a good idea
Things to improve:
-logistically, food was a nightmare. Lugging microwaves and percolators back and forth sucked, and we just made a total mess of the staff lounge.
-make a list of all supplies needed, and with nonperishables like hot chocolate and popcorn, always buy extra since it sucks to run out in the middle and have to send someone to go buy more
-buy premade popcorn to avoid the hassle of popping, and just scoop into bags w/ cups.
As far as I know, there were no discipline incidents, which I think goes to show that students are less likely to flout rules that aren't being explicitly imposed on them. Also, personal pet peeve, but Link Crew kind of labeled the event with their name, but I didn't sense much of a link crew presence at the event- just something to think about in the event of another collab.
