Practicum Hours 11/22

Last Monday I was the camera man for the news show. It was a new experience because we filmed the entertainment rewind round table. I thought it was a cool idea because we had 3 cameras shooting at different angles. I also helped Maggie shoot the blood drive for Go Healthy FSC. She really let me do a lot this week. I filmed the interview, and her stand up. She also taught me how to shoot b roll in an interesting way, to play with the angles and make a boring shot more fun and entertaining.

Practicum Hours 11/11

Last week I worked on the news show. The biggest thing I learned was about lighting and how important it is. I learned that adding extra light can take away shadows and that there are different types of lights for different situations. I also wrote a reader on the women's basketball team that lost both of its games to start off the season. Finally on Sunday I went to the filming of the record and observed a scene being filmed, I saw the different aspects that go into filming a movie and how crucial every part and person on the set can be.

This morning I wrote 2 readers. One was on the men's basketball team that had two exhibition matches over the weekend against 2 SEC schools Florida, and Tennessee. Even though the mocs lost both games it seemed like they held their own and competed. I also wrote a reader on the unveiling of the Sharp Family Tourism and Education center, including the new usonian house. I was at 2 events this week for it. I helped put the Wright statue up and was there for the official unveiling on Thursday night.

On Friday the 25th I helped Maggie shoot an interview for Go Healthy FSC. We interviewed Michael McElveen in the Wellness Center about replenishing electrolytes and what supposedly does it better. It was good experience watching an interview and setting up the equipment. On Saturday the 26th I filmed the swim meet. It was a little difficult at first because I really didn't know what I was doing, but once I got the hang of it, it got a lot easier and it was fun.
