Exam Blog Report

During News Media Practicum this semester I have been able to expand what I learned in high school much further. I came into the program already knowing how to work a camera, teleprompter, and work the audio on a news show but I was doing all of these things on a much smaller set and was working with less equipment. Working with the bigger cameras and a bigger set gave me much more a professional feeling and a feel for what it would be like to work on a real news show. During the sports show I got to see how John works with people he is interviewing and how he kind of improvises on set which I know is a skill that I want to be able to have. Editing was something I knew how to do but there are a few things I learned with that as well. Like putting the packages in between the show and cutting right to them correctly. I was able to write a lot of stories for the News which helped me learn how to write a News announcement correctly. During class while we have the article discussions I learned about a lot of new technology and learned about many things in broadcast. To be honest I was never really sure who Anderson Cooper was, and now that I heard of him through this class I watch his show all of the time. I am aware of many new features of entertainment like Google TV, apple TV, and Hulu plus. I have learned about how important it is to be on time and show up to a shooting of something when needed. If someone says they will be somewhere other people depend on them and if they do not show up this causes a lot of unnecessary problems for everyone. I wish I was able to attend more of the sports show so I could really get a good idea of how John performs. Also, the podcasts are something that I really want to get involved in because it is just like being on a professional sports talk show and I enjoyed attending one of them to see how it goes. Throughout the semester I started to feel a lot more comfortable with the cameras and other things which gave me confidence and the ability to help other people who were not sure how to use some of the equipment. I am excited to learn a lot more about different things in the department so I can increase my knowledge and confidence with broadcast.
