TV Studio - Lessons Learned1/31/2019 In the TV studio, I visited 7 unique "stations," different jobs, which each controlled a different part of a studio broadcast, and each important in its own right. My favorite stations were the ones where I felt like my job was important and not too easy. These jobs are what I will now describe. The first job that I felt interested in was the Floor Director, where my role was to cue and signal the anchors, or the "talent," and relay what the director in the studio was telling me. I felt interested in this job because I felt my job's importance since the anchor's relied on me, and I felt that my timing was proficient and I was doing a good job. The next job I enjoyed was the Director, not to be confused with Floor Director, which controls the operations of the entire broadcast. I liked being the director because this job was certainly the most essential job out of all the roles of production, and I got to test my managerial skills. Other jobs I liked were the CGI Board because the buttons were satisfying to press, and the Soundboard because I thought it was cool how many buttons there were on the interface. Overall, working in the TV studio and having the opportunity to try many different roles was very fun and I learned a lot of new things that will be useful in my future broadcasting endeavors.

"iAm Erik"1/4/2019 I liked the "iAm" project because it challenged me to create some sort of story or meaning with what seemed to me like simply dozens of random pictures. This was especially difficult for me because I had quite an excessive amount of pictures so I had to decide carefully what I would use and what I would leave out. I was able to overcome this by making sure I had a predestined story I wanted to tell so I would easily select pictures accordingly. Besides challenging me in this regard, during this project I discovered several iMovie tricks, the most important one for me being the custom pan crop tool because leaving the default crop wouldn't zoom into the right areas. Next time, after what I learned and experienced from this project, I know that it is very important to have a specific story idea in mind and that it can be useful to have extra B-Roll just in case.
