Today was the big day for my group to produce our five minute interview segment in my TV production class. When I woke up this morning I was a little nervous because I wasn't sure exactly how the class was going to go but it turned out great. Before today I had some idea of what it takes to put on a procuction because of my class in highschool, but now I really realize how much goes on behind the scenes. There were different positions for our production, the director, the floor director, the technical director, the CG person, three camera men, an audio technician, an audio assistant, and some other position that I can't remember the name of. I was the technicial director and my job entailed starting the background sound (in our case a recording of an audience clapping), fading it out, fading in and out from black at both ends of the interview and switching between cameras to get the best shot. This may sound simple but trust me it's harder than it sounds to make it come out right. It took our group two tries before recording our final take, in my opinion a great sucess, not to mention our interview was actually interesting to watch. I'm more and more happy each class that I decided to take this class because I can possibly see myself doing something along these lines when I get out of school, Plymouth Rock is going to create a whole bunch of new jobs when it's finished so maybe I can work there. Anyways I better get going cuz I things to do and people to see. Go Big or Go Home...
