Week #5 At My Internship

WEEK 5 PEOPLE!!!!!

    It seems as if I just started my internship yesterday.  This past week was very interesting, I did not go out in the reporting field as much, which was by choice.  I have realized, that whenever I go out with a reporter, I usually am gone the whole day, and I don't do much writing.  As much as I love to write, I have by no means come close to perfecting the art.  So I know that I need a whole lot of practice.   This past week, I was writing a VO SOT (I don't remember if I ever told you guys, but a that stands for Voice Over and Sound On Tape) anywho, I was writing one in particular, and after I finished it, I turned it in to the producer that asked me to do it.  Well she asked me to change it up, and that it was way too long, and that I needed to shorten it, but still add some more info.  Well usually when I turn a VO SOT in, I need to make some changes to it.  Well this particular one, I seriously think I changed it like 10 times.  However I appreciated that producer sending me back to do it again, and being very patient with me.  Things like this, I know will help me in the long run.
    This week we also had a training group come in and show us how to use iphones, and laptops on the fields.  We learned how to stream video and how to post it on the web and stuff.  This is the direction that newsrooms are going in.  People want news as quick as possible, and that is our job as reporters and producers...
