The BREAKING IN seminar talks about the Television industry. The overall theme of the seminar was Breaking Bad. I liked the way they linked Breaking Bad with the Wanted Theme. The Breaking In team dressed up as cops, too. High-distinction for theme. Most of the Breaking Bad theme was incorporated to the promo video and the promotion posters for the seminar. The promo video was a parody of Breaking Bad, and the timing of its creation was on time. The Breaking In team even made [candy] blue meth for this and stuck it along with the posters. High-distinction for promotion. The content of the seminar was relevant and was really focused in talking about the media industry. The guests that they invited had plenty of experience working in TV and they had different positions, and had worked in different types of production. Moreover, one of the guests was Media graduate from RMIT. They offered a lot of tips on getting your foot in the door. Some of this tips include CV making, paying attention to details, getting into networking sessions and seeking internships while still being a student. They elaborated about the work environment of the TV industry and shared some personal experience when working. Distinction for content. Staging of the stage during the seminar was really well. It was well decorated and they used couches instead of stools, which can be pretty uncomfortable to sit in for long periods. They borrowed a lot of props such as green carpets and blue couches, creating this cozy, colorful set. It looked less seminar ish. High-distinction for staging. With this colorful set, they had a talk show format with good audience engagement. The guests seemed like they had fun with the guessing game as well. It really sustained my interest. The use of the applause sign was pretty good to keep the audience engaged with the seminar. High distinction for approach.
Overall grade for this seminar is High-Distinction.
