Seminar Critique #2 Making the Cut: Television Industry

Content 

I am quite interested in working in television industry, their guests are covered by the producer, TV series director and also the Channel 10 Presenter. They have covered a lot of questions inside the Television industry which gives me a lot of knowledge of how to do better not only your academic knowledge. It gives me a lot of encouragement to face with the career.

There are a lot of stuff i have learned through the guest speaking.

• Try to get more works to do and you can get more experience on the tv station, don’t complain about how tough the work it, its time to learn.
• You really need to go somewhere for the resourcingGet more experience
• take the opportunities: don’t think you have no qualify to do ityou need to make the decision. You got nothing to loss
• Be out of your comfort zone, its ok to feel insecure. Keep pushing yourself that you can do it better
• Director: Specific Vision for what you want to say and tell, be able to communicate it.Producer: find a solution rather than the problem, find the way through.

  Narrator: Telling the story and interested in other people’s stories.

• There are a lot of personalities in the television industry. I think the hardest thing is to  JUST DO IT

Guests (appropriate to networking & career development)

Emma Freeman: Director

Chris bendall: Producer

Peter Hitchener: Legend of Channel 10 Presenter

the guests are all fantastic, especially Peter Hitchener. He is such a humorous people. the stuff he was talking about are all come from his experience.

Facilitation (high quality of timing, flow and staging)

I love how the music facilitates the flow.

Amazingly interaction with audience at the very beginning.
