Media Industries 2 – Seminar #3

The FEMME FATALE seminar talks about women working in the media industry. The discussion of the seminar focuses on the differences between working as a woman and a man, in the media industry. The Theme of the seminar was executed really well. The posters were good also smart, because they were black and white so it would be convenient to print. Irregardless, the black and white made it really go even better with the theme. The seminar team wore red and black coordinating outfits that I thought went really well with the overall theme. As for refreshments, I thought the mini red velvet cupcakes were really good and corresponds with the theme too. So High-distinction for the overall theme. The format of the seminar was question and answer. My attention wore off a bit at some points of the seminar because it was a bit plain at times, but the question and answer round had good audience engagement. So distinction for the approach that they took. In the first half of the seminar, the content was not very relevant, as it talked so much more about gender equality and feminism. The guests talked about how females might get a less privileged position when working, even though they are more capable then some of the male employees. There are several jobs that tend to be associated with only men, so women have less chance of getting the job. The second half of the seminar was more informative, as it was more detailed about getting into the media industry. The guests however, were willing to share a lot of their personal experience so we got a pretty good insight of the workplace. One tip from the guests tells us to try and find for a workplace that you’re comfortable with, if not then you won’t be able to be flourished. Credit for content. The promotion of the seminar was done well. As I mentioned, the posters were really good. Distinction for promotion. The overall staging of the seminar was good. I particularly like the warmlight, along with the stage set up and props. There were minor problems with the audio. Distinction for staging.

The overall grade for this seminar is distinction.
