After Rob and I filmed Fraternity Bid Day, we headed over to the studio to edit our package. It took us a while to get started because something happened with the DV and HDV and it was a bunch of crap. Then Dr. Bradford graciously showed up and saved the day and helped her FAVORITE Buckley and Rob with the DV/HDV issues. We decided that since we did not get a sot, we just stuck to the voice over. We got a lot of nat sound and definitely included that in our package. It's going to be on the news show this Wednesday and will be at most 45 seconds.

Today Rob and I ventured into the greek quad and bandshell for a solid 3 hours, covering fraternity bid day. We started at the bandshell and filmed people accepting their bids, members of the fraternities hugging them and welcoming them with letters, all the sappy stuff. We got different angles of the new members at the bandshell and then went to the greek quad and filmed every single fraternity doing their traditions as well as getting fantastic Nat Sound. It went very successful and we got a lot of great shots.

Today I helped Maggie Sutton interview a swimmer for Wellness TV. We also got some b-roll shots of people swimming, people at the pool, and things around the pool. Maggie gave me a few tips on working the camera and also let me take some b-roll shots.

Today was the first newscast of the year. I spent most of my time in the control room observing but I learned a lot today. I saw how the teleprompter functions and observed how Olivia had to re-do things when she mispronounced or if she didn't like it. I also discovered how the audio works with the soundboard and mic. We were there a little longer than people had planned, but it was a great first show  and flowed well.

I submitted a reader to Rachel Belli. It was a national reader for the news show about a 64 year old woman that swam from Cuba to Florida. I struggled a bit with the tenses since the story was a few days ago, however, other than that, everything went well.

Tonight I went and shot footage of the women's volleyball game. Tony was supervising and also Rob Pandolfino was there. I learned how to use a broadcast camera (since I'm used to working with DSLRs) and got some good shots and close ups of players and the coaches. We moved around the gym and got different angles, and I actually got hit in the head with a volleyball today (I barely felt it). No big deal. However, FSC lost and the game was split. After the game ended, we interviewed the libero and an outside player. We got some commentary from them and I think we got some great shots for b-roll.

9/5/13 - my first hour!

I submitted my reader about Greek Life to Rachel Belli for the news show. It was the first one I've ever written and the only edits I had to make was changing the exact numbers to estimations. I submitted it two days before the due date.
