Word Summary
Spring semester was
very different then the fall semester as I was expected to do more and I feel
like in this semester I have enhanced my abilities to become even better in the
upcoming fall semester.
This semester I shot sports and
news and I think both have had a big effect on me. When it came to sports I often shot with
Tony, Justin, or Ryan. They all taught me different techniques to make myself
better and make the videos better. With
Tony I shot Basketball, Softball, and even Tennis he was very hands on, always
trying to focus on the play at hand and trying to anticipate where the play
will be. Justin and Ryan both where great guys to shoot with as well as they
tried to get the best shots for the packages, what they wanted be too shoot
more was cutaways, player profiles, and team discussions. In addition to
shooting I also worked on Mocs Sports Talk with Ryan and Tony this really
helped me learn more about the studio especially the audio board and being prepared
for technical problems. I really enjoyed working on Mocs Sports Talk and our
new format where we used a timer on topics, and I hope we get to do it again
next semester.
I also took part in the
News show again this semester and I felt like I was given more responsibility,
I even wrote a reader for the news show. I know it is cheesy to say but Austen’s
professionalism and Rachel’s leadership was really inspiring to me and I would
love to host or produce the News Show in the future. Near the end of the
semester I also started to go to the sports show and I really enjoyed shooting
that and I really want to continue with them. The only thing I feel like I did
not take much of an effort in this semester was editing, however, I think being
in Broadcast Writing will help me continue to work on my editing skills and
possibly work on my producing skills.
I
know it sounds I keep talking about the future, but taking classes such as
Practicum and Media Writing and my internship are making very excited for next
semester and getting more involved. I believe Rachel and Katie have done a
great job as freshmen this year and I want to bring some competition between
the three of us and I really look forward to that.
This semester has been a lot of using skills
last semester and putting them to use, now I cannot wait for next semester to be
here so I can be ready to take charge and be a part of the News Show, Sports
Show, Mocs Sports Talk, and using skills in learn in Broadcast Writing to
write more readers for Olivia and become a big part of the communication department. I know this is a lot but I think having a lot
to do is better for me.
