Part II – A NEW HOPE

We have our meetings every Friday in class time after others’ seminars. So far we have allocated people into different roles. I was hoping to work on the poster design but since this super cool role has been taken. I offered to help with the staging and decoration. We hope to decorate the room like a movie theatre and have us as ushers dressing black and holding torch. We have also thought of making popcorns and setting up a candy bar. I have looked up online for different kinds of snacks, their packaging and designs for a candy bar in Star Wars theme to prepare to see how we can set things up within our ability and the budget. Also, from what I saw in last seminar, I thought it would be better if candy bar is set up on the right of the stage, just as people notice that when walk into the lecture theatre.

I have also come up with two different ideas for staging: one with couches and the other with panel table. I just feel like the panel table idea is kind of cool and more film like … I have not had time to pitch my ideas yet since we are all focusing on our guests’ response and ideas for promo video at the moment 🙂

We have also set up a timeline to get things done on time. James, our group leader will start send emails to guests we have decided on. They are Adam Arkapaw and Anna McLeish. Caley has tried to contact the daughter of a mystery guest (Ge…Rushhh <3) but hasn’t got back from her.

Media VI A NEW HOPE

So I thought we still had a long time to prepare for our seminar which is on Week 9… Here we had our very first meeting yesterday and I realised it wasn’t an easy thing to do.

Our seminar topic is film and we need to come up of three guests who can provide us insights into the film industry. I was blanked at the moment when all my groupmates were contributing some names for everyone to look up. I had experiences of organising in events back in Hong Kong. But here in Melbourne, I really had no connections or not even an idea where to look for people’s contacts. Honestly speaking, I haven’t heard of most of the name my group suggested so that day I spent whole night reading through all those potential guests’ biography and filmography.

It was the day I learnt so much on websites such as Screen Australia, Film Melbourne Directory and Australia Screen Editors. While I was still searching through different people online, James suggested using our title on Star War. I think the idea of Star War just perfectly worked with the Epic Journey theme. I just quickly thought of things like “The Force Awaits”, or “A New Beginning”, or “Untold Clone War Panel”. We all agreed on James’ idea and so we will stick on the Star War theme for promo video, posters, staging and catering options.

That is how we get started ——-
