Colegrove, A., Week 2

Welcome back everyone,

This week in class we watched a documentary called Side by Side. It was interesting to see the history of film making and how it has changed throughout the years. Being able to hear from the great film minds such as James Cameron, George Lucas, and Martin Scorsese and see how they have grown with the change in the film industry and technology was great. It was also cool to see the behind the scenes of the film making process.
We then went to a Public Relations event in Corning, NY. It was the PRXNE 2017 event where we had presentations and break out groups. The keynote presentation by Ross Levi, VP of marketing initiatives for Empire State Development, focused on creating a sense of place through an integrated marketing campaign. After this we broke out into smaller groups for separate presentations. The first one I went to was presented by Kate Finley where she talked about leading and empowering millennials. She said that money, health, time, and technology is the mindset of a millennial. The second break out session I attended was a drop-in virtual reality demo run by Dan Pacheco. We were able to use virtual reality headsets and play around with them and see how they can be manipulated with certain games. This event taught be a lot about the real world and it even opened my eyes on how people view millennials like myself. 


Please make sure to tune in next week to learn more about our tips !
