Day 3 (Week 3)

LECTURE - Future Trends
Once again, Jane Hilton gave us a talk on the TV/film but this time it is about future trends of the industry. The presentation focused on TV/film distribution and new content emerging in this internet age. The latter was more interesting because with today's technology, anyone can make video content and share them easily. For example, YouTube and Vimeo became a platform for short/indie films while Twitch is the home of streaming games. As a viewer of these content, I highly believe that these video contents will be the future of TV/film. With Activision Blizzard buying Major League Gaming (MLG), they are planning to turn it into a TV channel for gaming content, similar to how South Korea having dedicated TV channels for E-sports.

SEMINAR - Pitch 1
Today's seminar was each group pitching their ideas. The feedback for our pitch was that the Jack the Ripper story has been done too many times. Companies will most likely not invest into the idea. We were advised to do more in-depth research on our next pitch. I also need to work more on my presentation skills without the help of notes. Hopefully practice would help overcome my stage-fright.
