Here is our day!

20150925_155558

So we met up in afternoon to allocate people to grab the cameras from Tech Office and some to RMITV for the props. It is happening. We started to set up the Lecture Theatre into our Star War themed seminar room. My role that day is to act like a cinema usher, handing out and collecting our assessment sheet and a quiz sheet. The attendance turned out a little bit lower than we expected, but I felt really proud of what we have done so far. I guess we all were more focused on the performance of the seminar instead of the content during the seminar. We were worried about the flow of things. But our guests are just so fascinating. Everyone seems kind of forgot the little quiz Jackie prepared for people to get a small prize during the intermission. I quickly ran to our group and reminded everyone about it. Jim immediately asked the questions to grab attentions; I guess people were just so excited for our popcorn so not many of them have actually engaged with the quiz. We were all very happy of what we have done for the seminar and its result.

I learnt more than organising a seminar but to collaborate with each other to get something done. It is a valuable experience. Now I will need to get the highlight reel done …

Our seminar is getting there

It is getting near to the day for our seminar. It is a bit nervous for everyone since we are still waiting for our second guests to get back to us and our first guest is no longer available to our seminar. Somehow it gets me start thinking that networking and connections are really important in this industry especially when you need to ask someone for a favour. We immediately voted for other options James can contact. And we have to wait…..

Other groupmates have already started on making poster and promo videos. I have also started to source for our props. I got RMITV’s contact from Steering Committee. I have dealt with it for almost a week in order to successfully make bookings for some chairs and tables for our seminar. It was not an easy task as I thought I just had to send out emails. I have visited the studio and the office to speak to the person in charge and have a look at props that are available to borrow.

Natalie suggested us to create things like movie tickets to promote our seminar which could be ripped off from our poster . The tickets can be presented at the door of the seminar to receive snacks from the candy bar. Isn’t that an excellent idea? I just thought the Golden Ticket in the Wonka chocolate bar in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I volunteered to design the ticket because I have already got heaps of idea on it. However, our group somehow has just left the idea due to the progress of the poster design.
