Week 6 Media 6 Seminar Series

The day of our seminar had finally arrived and from the get go i feel as though everyone felt very calm cool and collected as we made our way to our first meeting of the day at 1:30 in building 80 level 7. After running through the call sheet that Jess made the previous week, Miguel, Helena and I split off from the crew to go and organise the gear that we had ordered for our seminar. We had a 4 camera setup, similar to that of last weeks however we have added another DSLR to cover specifically the still images which was operated by Regina Lee. I was tasked with operating the Canon 650D, which we had decided would cover the close up shots of our guests: Stephen Corvini, Stuart Page and Gareth Calverley (see below). After several hours of setting up our stage, which included several trips back and forth between building 80 and building 7 for furniture, the time had come to introduce our guests to the audience… It had begun… After perhaps 30 mins everything was running perfectly to plan with healthy discussion amongst the panel members and host David Delminico, then suddenly the alarm sounded and building 80 was evacuated for 25 minutes. After returning back into the seminar and everyone slightly in disbelief we managed to complete our Tv seminar with only a few extra minutes on the clock, so all in all I was extremely pleased with how we worked together as a team, (we also had matching crew shirts, go us) but also as a crew on a more professional level, that we had managed to bring in these fully fledged Tv industry proffesionals to come in and talk to us for free about how to move through the swings and sways of such an interesting industry was just astounding, was very proud of us. 🙂 The following few days will be frantic with myself, miguel and helena in the editing suites creating an edit of the seminar to show our peers.Screen Shot 2015-09-07 at 6.16.50 pm
