MI 2 – Reel Crimes

After attending the Reel Crimes seminar I discovered that the presentation was very informative giving a good understanding into working in the media industry overall and how to specifically get into film. The guests they invited were very insightful with multiple producers as well as an executive from Screen Australia. All the guests actively participated in the conversation and when relevant even questioned each other. This allowed for a comprehensive and varied response to the questions with each guest answering with what they believed was the correct answer rather than just a one-sided generic response. The audience was very attentive as the content was applicable to the future graduates rather than just amusing anecdotes. The seminar was presented in a professional manner with just a simple panel and chairs and a purple backdrop. The lighting was done well making it easy to see the guests but not washing out the screen behind them. The presenter acted in a professional manner in asking the right questions and being attentive to what the guests were saying. Their relaxed and comfortable attitude was a sign of good preparation and rehearsal.  One problem that was present was the sound quality which throughout the presentation had several issues including hissing thru the speakers as well as mics dropping out requiring guests to either have to switch microphones mid-seminar or not be heard. Posters and advertising were present however they were not placed very predominantly and I had to look for them, rather than the advertising grabbing my attention. Overall the seminar was professionally done but had enough small issues, primarily to do with the sound that prevented it from being a top quality production.
