Woooooooh, progress!

This week, the TV crew made leaps and bounds in the right direction, as we began to articulate our plans and ideas for our week 6 TV seminar… Exciting stuff!

We had another group meeting at 2pm, which I made it to and was able to contribute a few ideas. Mostly we talked about broad details regarding roles within the group, ironing out the more fundamental aspects of our preparation.

After a broader group discussion where we finalised roles (I landed promo-video, camera/audio on the day and cutting together a video in post), we split up into more specific teams where I talked to Helena and Dan about potential camera/audio setup for the theatre on the day, then to Jenny and Regina about ideas for the promo video, then Bec, Shannen and Tiff about particulars for potential set design and dècor.

Jenny, Regina, Georgia and I then made our way to the Bld. 9 Tech Office where we spoke to the lovely Techs about hiring the green screen and some equipment to shoot our promo video on Wednesday the 19th at 9am.

After the lecture on our CVs, we all went back to the tute room and organised a few more specifics for the seminar and what needed to be done in the lead-up. I also managed to conjure the title ‘pushing all the right buttons’ under numerous demands from steering committee groveller, Georgia ‘Symesy’ Symes.

That just about concludes week 4 in Media 6, seminar.

Our Media 6 seminar this week revolved mostly around a group meeting before the seminar in which we began to discuss individual roles, set design, the logistics of the seminar itself – including camera and audio setup and a number of other important aspects for the organisation of our TV seminar.

I helped brainstorm poster/promo video ideas with Helena, Jenny and a few others.

In week 2, we decided on our title – ‘A Remote Journey’, which was my contribution to the options. Working with this idea, we decided on a city skyline as the backdrop for the seminar, but with TV remotes instead of skyscrapers.

In terms of role allocation, I was tasked with camera operator and equipment setup on the day. I also volunteered to help shoot a promo video and discussed the camera/audio setup for the day with other techs in the group.

I was also responsible for approaching the steering committee with the potential for providing hamper/gifts for the guests through my workplace, Eltham Deli. Which I have since ordered and aided correspondence between the Deli and Aimee, from the steering committee.

That ties up week 3 in Media 6 Seminar.
