This internship gave me hands-on experience in every part of TV production. It was here I learned how TV magic works behind the scenes and the amount of work it takes for video to get on air, especially live. The first half of this program focused on cameras and videography, with an intense four-week course where I learned how to shoot footage for television. I figured out how to adjust settings for audio and lighting in the field, capture interviews and b-roll, and work with studio cameras to position talent using indoor lighting. I also learned the 180-degree rule, how to set up interview lights, and how to mic people to create high-quality video. By the end of it, I earned a photography certification

​

Following the photography course is another four-week-long editing course with Final Cut Pro X. I edited the footage I shot and created three segments about local community service efforts that went on air. This experience taught me how shooting and editing work seamlessly together, and I earned my certification as a Final Cut Pro X editor. Skills I transfer to using other editing software like Adobe Premiere Pro, Edius, and Avid.
