2/27/12 (2.5 Hours)

On Monday, February 27th, I came up to FSC to take pictures of the men's tennis matches for last minute shots in the yearbook. I showed up at 3:00 pm, when the games started, and shot until about 5:00. After finishing up with those shots, I decided to take some campus shots for the campus pages while the weather was holding up. I took these shots for the next half hour, simply taking photos of buildings, nature, etc, around campus. I left at 5:30 pm.

TOTAL HOURS EARNED: 2.5 hours

2/20, 2/22, & 2/23 (9.5 Hours)

On Monday, February 20th, I attended the Interlachen meeting and the Wellness TV meeting. The Interlachen meeting was our final one of the year, as deadline is approaching. We discussed what everyone's responsibility was for the finishing of the yearbook and when it needed to be done by. In the Wellness TV meeting, Dr. Bradford was there, and we assigned packages for the show after the break. I am listed with Shannah to help out on Fitness With Sarah. Each meeting was about a half hour. This was a total of 1 hour.

On Wednesday, February 22nd, I did a lot of work helping Interlachen. I came in the office around 1:00 pm after my last class finished and began work sorting through and editing pictures that Shannah had taken around campus. After finishing those shots, I began work editing and renaming a group of Portraits that we had taken last semester. After working on those, I moved onto putting pictures in the layout, naming people in photos, and basically doing whatever Shannah needed me to do in order to get us closer to being finished with the book. I left the office at 6:00 pm. This was 5 hours.

On Thursday, February 23rd, I returned to the office at 10:00 am after my first class finished. I started placing portraits in the layout and adding their names in the captions. Then I moved on to the campus shots pages, attempting to add in some extra shots to fill up our pages. I also went through a few sports pages to name people in the captions. I left the office at 1:30 pm. This was 3.5 hours.

TOTAL HOURS EARNED: 9.5 hours

2/20/12 (1 hour)

On Sunday, February 19th, I wrote two "blurbs" for Interlachen and sent them to Shannah for approval for the yearbook. A blurb is basically a short paragraph about an event or topic on campus. I was assigned to write blurbs for the Mike Super show that was performed at orientation, and Sweeney Todd, which ran the past few weekends in Buckner Theatre. Each blurb took about a half hour to get done, written, typed, edited, etc.

TOTAL HOURS EARNED: 1 hour

2/13-2/16 (12.5 hours)

Monday, February 13th, I came to the Interlachen lab to begin work sorting through some sports shots and trying to pick out my top photos from each team so that Shannah and I could compare notes for the final selections. I got there and started work at 3:00 and worked until the Interlachen meeting at 4:00. Following that work, I attended the Interlachen and Wellness TV meeting. In the Interlachen meeting, we discussed what needed to get done for the deadline and who was doing copy for the yearbook/when that was to be due. At the end of the meeting we took our group picture for the yearbook. At the Wellness meeting we discussed the progress on everyone's packages. Total hours earned this day were 2 and a half.

Tuesday, February 14th, I had agreed to go out at 5:30 to JRB and take the group picture of Tzedek. The lighting inside JRB is not known to be very good and this day was no different. We took a few shots inside to test lighting but when that failed we eventually moved outside. I took shots in a few different locations and poses before deciding that we had something that could be used. Total hours this day was 1 hour. 

Wednesday, February 15th, I went with Shannah to take pictures at the media performance of Sweeney Todd. We got to the theatre around 7:30 and the show started. Lighting was tough at times but I believe that we left with some good material. During the show I was able to move around the theatre (within the house) and experiment with different angles. Following the show, the cast posed for still frames from different parts of the show (chosen by the director). This took quite awhile but it made for some great shots. Overall that night I ended up filing 3 memory cards! We left the theatre at 12:30 am. Total hours for this day were 5 hours.

Thursday, February 16th, I had plenty of free time so I came to the Interlachen studio to import, sort, and edit the over 1,000 pictures that we had from Sweeney Todd between my own and Shannah's. I came in at 9:50 am to begin with, imported my pictures and began sorting and editing. I left to meet up with someone on campus at 10:50 am (1 hour). I returned to the lab at 12:00 pm to continue editing. Shannah ended up coming to do some work so I added her pictures and began sorting and editing hers as well. I finished with those shots around 3:00 pm. Total hours earned this day were 4 hours. 

TOTAL HOURS EARNED: 12.5 hours

2/9/12 (1.5 Hours)

Today, in some spare time between classes, I went to the Interlachen to import some pictures and edit them. I got there at about 3:10, and left at about 3:40. I imported pictures taken from the Poetry Slam and the Sports Show group shot, edited the Sports Show picture, and sorted through shots from the Poetry Slam to decide which ones were potentials for the yearbook.

Later tonight I went to take some shots of an event that the Jewish Association on campus was holding. It was basically a party for a Jewish holiday and trying to recruit members to the group. Because of the time that my class ends, I couldn't make it until 5:00 and it ended at 6:00.

TOTAL HOURS EARNED: 1.5 hours

2/8/12 (1 Hour)

During my break in classes today, I went to the Interlachen lab to get started on editing some photos that still needed work. I got to the lab at 10:45 and left at 11:45 to head to my next class. While I was there, I edited a few club photos, photos from a women's basketball game, Up Till Dawn, as well as the Basketball game against Rollins ("Red Out" Game).

TOTAL HOURS RECEIVED: 1 hour

2/7/12 (2 Hours)

On Monday, February 6, 2012 I attended two production meetings. At 4:00 PM I attended the meeting for Interlachen. Shannah showed us the basic layout for the yearbook and discussed the jobs that we would have to do for the rest of this semester. Certain people would be in charge of specific sections of the yearbook (ex: sports, student life, etc.) and making sure that the pages get done. However, being the person that Shannah wants as photo editor next year, my job is going to be preparing the pictures and assisting Shannah in choosing the top picks for the final pages, as well as helping with some layout work. After discussing these jobs we signed up for shooting events during the week. I signed up for a party being thrown by a Jewish Organization on campus on Thursday night.

Immediately following the Interlachen meeting, I attended the Wellness TV meeting, which Dr. Bradford was sitting in on this week. The next, and final, show before Spring break is going to be revolving around just that. Spring Break wellness is the topic for the show and everyone signed up for what sounds like they will be great packages. :) I am signed up now to work with Shannah and Sarah on "Fitness with Sarah".

I was told that each meeting counts as an hour.

TOTAL HOURS: 2 hours

2/5/12 (2 Hours)

This past week I got worked 2 hours in different groups. Monday I was at the Interlachen meeting and received one hour. We discussed the events for the week, what clubs still needed pictures, and the opportunity to receive an hour for writing a blurb for the yearbook. I also uploaded some photos from that week to the computer for editing while in the lab. On Thursday, I met with my group for Wellness TV to assist with the filming of interviews for the package. We met at the Wellness Center and interviewed one trainer as well as 2 or 3 students who were working out at that time. We shot B-Roll footage in the center and then we were finished with the shooting. This took about an hour.

TOTAL HOURS: 2 hours
