I showed up to the school at 10:40 today to shoot an interview with Maggie for the final Go Healthy package. We shot it in Forsythe lab and it only took about 10 minutes total. Then we went to the water dome to shoot her stand up for the week, which was nothing new for me as I had gone to shoot that with her last week too. We took everything to the Southern lab afterwards to start editing everything together, which was pretty simple and also nothing really new to me. It did allow for a refresher on how to log and transfer with the Wellness camera though. We stayed there until about 11:45 since we both had class at 11:50 that day, but the package still wasn't quite done. Maggie finished it later on her own.

I came into the Interlachen office today at 10:15 a.m. and began looking over edits for the book. We thought that we were finally finished with the book last week, but we received final edits from Bob yesterday. Most of the edits had already been changed when I got to it, but my job today was to look over everything and double check them to make sure that they were made, and made correctly.
I worked on this until 11:45 a.m. and made it through the entire book. I think that we are finally finished now! Hopefully no more edits come back at us!

On Monday we met for our weekly Interlachen meeting and it was another work meeting. I got there at 5 and sat down to edit some copy and layout things and we were there until about 9:00. It was a lot of reviewing the book and tweaking errors, so there's not much else to say about it.
I also re-wrote copy about Christmas on campus for the book that day, which counts as one hour.

Hours for 3/1-3/6 (8 HOURS)
March 1, 2013
Today I wrote up questions for an interview with Luke Jenner, a junior captain of our FSC soccer team. The interview was being done for the Interlachen in an effort to feature some accomplished athletes from different teams on campus in the book this year. I ended up writing about 20 questions (probably more than we needed for his page) ranging in everything from his early beginnings in soccer, to his current accomplishments, and pre-game rituals. The interview was scheduled for Monday when we came back from Spring Break. The writing of the questions took about an hour.

I sat down today to finally write the stories that I promised Austen for the news show this week. This was my first time writing anything for the show since last year (when I was highly inexperienced!), so I was a little nervous. It was time to put those Broadcast Writing skills to the test! I wrote a brief reader for the Pi Run, sponsored by the math club. I also wrote an intro and a tag for my photo essay which was featured on the show this week. That was really cool because it was my first real broadcast work at FSC, and honestly since my Freshman year of high school, and it felt good to get good feedback on it. Austen seemed pleased with the stories and said that they sounded good, so I guess I did okay for my first batch! With each story being worth one hour, I earned 3 hours.

Around 10:00, I met with Luke to do his interview and take some photos for his page. We met at the soccer field (naturally) and tracked down a jersey to use in the photos, as well as a soccer ball to pose with. Following that hunt, we sat down to do the interview. He was a surprisingly easy interview to do because he was very friendly and he naturally gave a lot of detail in his answers. I recorded it on the voice memo feature on my iPhone for transcribing later on. Then it was time to take photos. I probably took around 20 shots before I said we were good. I stopped there because we were only needing 2 to 3 for the page. We finished up here around 11:00, making that one hour.
I then went back to the Interlachen office to start editing the photos and picking my 3 favorites for the page, as well as typing up the interview. I found one photo that I really loved but it had a sunspot in it, right beside his face, which was disappointing. Luckily our graphic designer, Brianna, is amazing and she was able to airbrush it out and make it usable! I typed up his interview, which proved to be a bit more challenging than expected because of the length of his answers. I had to keep stopping the recording and backing it up to type word-for-word. I finished this at 12:00, which was when I had to head to Broadcast Writing. This was also an hour.
At 5:00 pm today we had our Interlachen meeting. We finally had a rough draft of our book printed and today was essentially a work day. The editors worked on what needed to be fixed, the rest of the staff got to see the book for the first time and jot down any comments that they may have had, and they also got updated on our current status on the book. We are coming close to completion, but we still have quite a bit of polishing to do! This meeting was one hour as well.

Today we shot the news show. I was mostly observing for this one because we had a pretty big turn out this week. We had some issues technically with the sound not coming through right away, but Tori came in and helped us solve that problem. In addition, we took awhile to start because it seemed that Austen had to write most of his own stories. I could be wrong, that was just what it looked like from my perspective. Once we began, everything ran smoothly though. Because of the difficulties we ran from 11:00 (after advising) until 12:00. This was one hour.

Monday, February 18, 2013
This was our weekly Interlachen meeting. There wasn't much discussion that went on today, but more of observation than usual. A majority of the time spent at the meeting was watching what Tosha has put together for the Sports and Campus videos for the video yearbook portion. They look really great and we are definitely excited to have one done this year! Bob gave minor critiques to be fixed on the video. Following this we had a few events to sign up for this week and then we adjourned the meeting.

After my Media Writing final I went to the yearbook office to work on some stuff for the book. I got there around 2:30 and worked on editing pictures until 4:30 when the server started acting up again. This was all basic stuff for me seeing as photo editor was my position last year.

Hours For Feb. 4 - Feb. 15 (13. 75 hours)
February 4, 2013
Today was our weekly Interlachen meeting. As usual we have them every Monday, and we are continuing to discuss the necessities to meet deadline. At this meeting we covered shoots for the week, gave strict deadlines to finish our athlete stories, and signed up for portrait shifts. This was one hour.
February 6, 2013
During my downtime between classes I made my way into the Interlachen office to edit photos for Shannah. She needed some group photos and faculty photos edited for the book itself, as well as photos that we are not using edited so that she can send those to campus organizations. I got about half of her list done today and left the rest for someone else to pick up on or for myself to continue later. This was my first time using Photoshop instead of Lightroom to edit photos, so it threw me for a loop at first. But it was pretty easy to catch onto. I edited these for about one hour.
February 7, 2013
I had some more downtime today to work on photo editing. I didn't get too much done today because I only had a half hour to work, but I managed to knock out some more of Shannah's list. It's close to being finished now. I edited these for a total of 30 minutes.
February 13, 2013
Today was a very busy day for me. I got out of class and went straight over to the collegiate room to help out with portraits. I got there around 2:30 and stayed until 6:00 when we broke down. I took some shots as well as tried to help pull people in to get their photo taken. That's harder than you'd think! I helped Shannah break down the setup at 6:00 and load it up in my car for the next day. This was 3.5 hours.
Following portraits I went to the final dress rehearsal for Little Women to take photos for the yearbook. I arrived at 7:00 and took photos throughout the entire show, then took posed shots following the show. These were poses of different parts of the scenes, which were selected by Paul. I stayed for the entire time and left with about a memory card and a half full of photos. This lasted until 12:15 a.m. This was 5.25 hours.
February 14, 2013
I'm not sure if these will qualify for Practicum hours because they cut into my class time, however I set up portraits today. I arrived on campus at 11:00 to set up and everything was working against me. It started raining, the circle drive was blocked off, the parking lot was full, and I was setting up by myself. It took some time to lug everything up to the room by myself, and then as I set up I ran into some obstacles as well. Eventually Brianna Davis showed up and helped me pull it all together, thankfully. After we finished I went to class around 1:00 to catch what I could. If these are allowed to count, then this would be 2 hours.
February 15, 2013
Following Practicum, I walked over to portraits for a bit before Broadcast Writing and found Shannah setting up by herself, so I helped her out. I got there around 11:30 and left at 12:00 to go to Broadcast Writing. Between her past experience and mine from the previous day, we were able to set up in no time! This was 30 minutes.

1/25-2/3
January 25, 2013
On Friday, January 25, I went with Katie Becker to shoot an interview for our Go Healthy FSC package. The package was about sunscreen and the importance of wearing it in the winter and we were going to talk to the Mary Kay employee that stemmed the entire package initially, Stacey. We drove out to her house and met her there and asked her a few questions and then we were finished. It turns out that our audio was not up to par however and Katie ended up going back out a few days later to redo the interview. This was pretty basic, nothing that I hadn't seen done, or done myself before, so there weren't really any surprises here. It did, however, show the importance of bringing headphones to a shoot to test the audio in advance. This was a half hour.
January 28, 2013
This morning I went to the shooting of the news show and observed. There were a lot of people there this day compared to others and for that reason, most were observing instead of getting involved, but that was definitely okay. I mostly observed Olivia working with the teleprompter because I was standing closest to her and able to see her the best. I learned how to control it and the best methods of how to keep it around the proper spot and how to adjust if it starts to get ahead or behind the anchor. This was one hour.
In addition to the news show shoot, I also took the yearbook photo for the news show crew. I got to experiment with a new angle by taking it from up above the crew. I think that the result came out pretty good. This was also one hour.
This Monday was also the day of our weekly meeting for Interlachen. Today we discussed a few new topics. We really need to get on the ball all around because our deadlines are approaching! The video deadline is in about two weeks now and the book itself is due in about a month. We discussed the shots that we still need, as well as video and copy, and told the rest of the staff how they can get involved in this last portion of production if they desire to get more involved. We also assigned new sports stories to highlight athletes and gave a deadline of February 14. This was one hour.
January 29, 2013
On Tuesday, January 29, I did a voiceover for the Go Healthy FSC package. Katie had written out the script for the voiceover and asked me if I wanted to record it. We recorded it the first time with a mic and the audio came out as a "whisper" (Katie's words). So I came back and re-recorded it on the camera mic and it came out better, but still not flawless. I'm not positive how we will fix it next time, but it definitely gave me an idea of the types of problems that can arise in a shoot. This was also my first reporting work at FSC, and my first experience since my freshman year of high school, and it helped me realize that it was difficult to get certain words out and I realized that I need to work on speaking slower and more clearly on camera. Overall the voiceover sounded okay in the end (in my opinion), but there is absolutely work to be done. This was a half hour.
