MI 2 – Wanted: For Global Media Takeover

This seminar was well worth observing as I found the presentation was beneficial with a good range of guests present across the various fields of the media industry (including cinema, TV and radio) and provided informative and useful content in relation to entering the industry. I felt that there were too many themes trying to be executed at once to the point that it became confusing. They had the themes of an airport lounge, how to commit a crime as well as the overarching topic of entering the media industry all competing for front stage and seemed to distract from each other, losing focus from the real issue. The set was staged very professionally with appropriate lighting focused on the guests, although the screen behind them was a bit washed out making it harder to see the text onscreen. The modern couches and little coffee table in the middle of the guests, created the illusion of an airport lounge successfully with the lamps behind them (non-functional) adding to the overall ambience. The use of two presenters, on opposite ends of the stage, worked well as it helped to keep the seminar moving and allowed for a wider range of questioning covering information for both genders equally. They both asked questions that seemed to be relevant to the audience (including myself) and had an overall positive demeanour. The promotion for the event was rather lacking as I did not see many posters placed around the campus. Overall their presentation was very professional with almost none of the technical problems present of the previous groups. They seemed very relaxed and confident in their roles, an obvious sign of good preparation, and the audience turnout was great with most of the auditorium filled with people. I felt their presentation was a success and thoroughly enjoyed myself.
