Southern News Network

This week I worked with Southern News Network from 10:40 until 11:30 am. I wrote three stories, one about "Daddy's Dyin' Who's Got the Will?", one about Phi Mu Alpha, and one about the Tobacco Free Florida program. Three hours for me! I worked the teleprompter again today during our taping. I think I want to try the camera next time!

Southern News Network

Today I worked with Southern News Network from 10:40 am until 11:30 am. This show was a shorter show because Colleen was unable to be here, and we didn't have very many stories. John was the only anchor. I worked the teleprompter by myself today with minimal difficulty! I think that's one piece of technology in the department that I have conquered!

Total hours to this date: 41 hours and 15 minutes

Wellness TV

Yesterday, I finished editing, adding voice-overs, adding broll, and wrote the anchor scripts for mine and Dakota's Wellness TV package. It was great that Dakota trusted me enough to do this work on my own! I worked from 12:00 until 1:30 pm. It was great to make a very large contribution of work to this package!

Wellness TV

Yesterday morning, Dakota and I interviewed the Chef at Wynee's bistro and his associate from 9:30 until 10:30 am. They gave us lots of interesting information, and even some paperwork with more facts on it that we could use for our package! Last night, Dakota and I worked from 7:30 until 8:30 pm doing stand-up interview shots. Dakota has been very nice and let me be the reporter the past 3 times. It is so much fun! I couldn't stay and help Dakota edit last night because I had another meeting to go to, but this afternoon I will be editing, adding voice-overs, and finishing touches to our package!

Total hours to this date: 38 hours and 55 minutes

Wellness TV

Today was super productive in way of my Wellness TV package! I grabbed the camera at 12:00 pm, and shot broll, 4 student interviews, and 2 expert interviews until 1:30 pm. I have another expert interview scheduled for tomorrow morning. Consuelo logged and transferred all of my shots for me when I came back. Just because the big kids are busy, doesn't mean the package can be put off!

Total hours to this date: 36 hours and 55 minutes!

Mr. Southern Video

Tonight, Colleen and I edited and completed my video for the 14th annual Mr. Southern pageant. We worked from 5:30 until 8:30 pm. Dakota taught me basic editing, but Colleen taught me lots of tricks that I didn't know before, like how to edit audio. After the video was completed, John helped me burn in on a DVD using Quick time and iDVD. I don't know what I would do without these wonderful upperclassmen who are so eager to help! I am very thankful!

Total hours to this date: 35 hours and 25 minutes.

Southern News Network

Today I worked with Southern News Network from 10:40 am until 12:00pm. We taped a show today following Monday's meeting, and my story about Mr. Southern was used. One hour for me! We had some problems switching from one shot to two shots with the cameras, so it took a little longer than usual. I helped Shelby learn how to use the teleprompter, since I have already used it for two shows. I'm hoping one of these days I will know how to use all of the equipment in the studio!

Total hours to this date: 32 hours and 25 minutes

Today I worked with Southern News Network from 10:40 until 11:00 am. We talked about the next show and scheduled a shoot for 10:40 am on Wednesday. I will be writing a story about Zeta Tau Alpha's Mr Southern Pageant. Then, I log and captured and edited my video for Mr. Southern from 11:00 until 11:40 am. I am very excited about my first solo project! I have edited the entire introduction of the video. I have scheduled one last interview for Thursday at 2:00 pm and then I will be ready to really get down to editing!
