Wellness TV Show 5: Package Done!

Today I worked on my Wellness TV package from 8:45 a.m. until 10: 45 a.m. I edited my entire package. Kirstyn stopped by with the camera so I could shoot my voice overs, and Trice was there getting grades ready. Needless to say, I had lots of company! Shannah stopped by and I shot my stand up with her, and then sent my little print major to help Shannah shoot her stand up while I continued editing. Then we came back and saw Cynthia in The Southern office. She looked over what I had so far, said it looked great, and then I plunged onward. My package is done! Hooray! Now I'm ready for Turkey Day!

Wellness TV Interviews and Broll

Yesterday I worked with Taylor Sullivan from 3:00 until 4:00 p.m. We shot broll and another student interview for our "Cards vs. Cash" package. To my surprise, the ladies in the book store allowed us to shoot inside! So we got lots of great broll. I was very relieved! We also loaded all the footage into the computer, and I plan on editing today and tomorrow. I really enjoyed working with Taylor. She's a sweet girl and very helpful!

Wellness TV Student Interview

I interviewed a student in Tu Tu's this afternoon from 3 until 3:30 p.m. She said that she thinks that students should use cash rather than debit cards because that way students would spend less money. Dr. Miller had recommended the cards over cash. Hopefully, this will be a very interesting package!

Wellness TV Interview

Today Olivia Q. and I had an interview for the Cards vs. Cash package. We worked from 9:15 until 10:15 a.m. We interviewed Dr. Miller, a new adjunct to the Finance portion of the Business department. She did a great job and was very easy to talk to! Olivia set up the camera all by herself; I only had to help her with a few things, and I directed the interview because my hand writing is kind of hard to read. This afternoon, I plan on shooting as much broll as I can and selecting two victims to be student interviews, and then log and transfer all the footage into the computer so I can edit Thursday and Friday.

SO CLOSE!!! :)

Wellness TV Meeting: Show 5

Today I met with Wellness TV from 4:30 until 5:00 pm. We talked about our ideas for show five, and some improvements that we need to make to our packages. Unfortunately, we can't air show 4 until Thursday because Dalton and Dakota have a lot of conflicting days this week and that was the only day they could both shoot the anchor stand up. For the next show, I will be heading Financial Wellness "Cards vs. Cash," and helping Shannah with the "Consequences of Chewing Tabacco (sp?)" packages. I want to get started right away, because my big 2-0 is this Friday and I don't want to have to do too much work on my birthday weekend!

Wellness TV Show 4 Package Complete!

Today I worked on my Wellness TV Package at two different times. I worked from 1:30 until 2:00 pm after my Spanish class, and then I worked from 2:30 until 4:30 pm. From 1:30 until 2, I cut out all of the interviews and placed them along the timeline in the way I thought they would best fit. Then, when I came back at 2:30, I filled the holes in with broll, wrote my voice overs, placed my voiceover, shot my stand up and put that in the right spot. Then I cleaned up all of the editing. Kristin McIntyre was my savior today because she drove all the way from her house to give me a Wellness TV shirt and help me shoot my stand up. It was really nice of her, and I definitely owe her a favor because if she hadn't have done that I would have to wait until tomorrow to finish it. My package is finished! HOORAY!! :)

Wellness TV Show 4 Interview

Today I interviewed Desirae and logged the info into the computer from 2 until 2:30 pm. Originally I was going to interview her at 2:30, but since my advising meeting started earlier and went ahead and did the interview at 2. Nadine helped me a little bit with the shoot. The camera almost died but, much to Desirae's dismay, we were close enough to a power source to continue the interview :) she did a really awesome job!

Total hours to this date: 31 hours and 5 minutes

Wellness TV Show 4 Editing

Today I started putting together the broll and the student interview for the coupon package. My 9:55 am class was cancelled this morning, so I worked from 10:00 am until 11:00 am. I started trying to figure where I want the voice overs to be and what I want them to say, but I really need Desirae's interview this afternoon before I can start really working on it.

Total hours to this date: 30 hours and 35 minutes

6 more to go!

Wellness TV Show 4 Shoot

Today I worked on Wellness TV from 2:55 until 4:00 pm. My package is on coupons, so I enlisted some practicum students into cutting coupons while I took different shots. Intro to Broadcast techniques! I worked with T.J. and the little blond cross-country runner. I can't remember his name! Then I interviewed a print student for my student interview, who is a die-hard couponer and in desperate need of broadcast practicum hours. I showed her how I set the camera up, how to set up and test the mics, and I let her follow me around while I took shots of T.J. and blondie. I have been having some trouble getting an expert interview; my last professor fell through because she couldn't do an interview until next week. But while we were working Ms. Desirae went on and on about how much she loved to coupon. So, I've talked with her and she's agreed to be my expert interview. Hooray! I am interviewing her tomorrow after my advising meeting.
