I found this seminar enjoyable
because it seemed rather well planned. I gave them a D for the content being
focused and relevant, because although they covered a lot of interesting areas
like how comedy translates from production to onscreen and the best ways to
pitch a show, I felt there could have been more content on how to actually break
into the industry in the first place. I gave the group an HD for their guests
being relevant, because I thought their choice of guests was quite diverse and
they all had quite different experiences and personalities but brought
something different to the discussion. I did find Matthew Saville’s
contributions to be particularly entertaining given his comedic streak and
frank honesty. It was a shame that their one female guest pulled out at the
last minute, and so the panel was all male. I gave this group a D for seminar
facilitation, as I found it was put together quite well but I thought the flow
of conversation was a little bit awkward at times. I did however think that the
production values of the trailer they made were very high. I also liked the way
they had structured it in bringing each of the guests to the stage individually
to talk to them on their own before starting the panel discussion. This let us
get to know the individual guests a lot better and allowed the chance for them
to share important information such as their own story of how they got into the
television industry. I awarded this group a D for audience inclusion, because
although they did have a Twitter feed there wasn’t much other opportunity for
participation. And finally I gave them an HD for the promotion of the seminar,
because I saw a lot of flyers on campus as well as material online promoting
the seminar, and again I was really impressed with the trailer they created for
it.
