Today I helped out by organizing news tapes into the proper boxes as well as into the correct order. By doing this it makes it easier to access and gather information for the news broadcasts later in the day. I once again organized the viewers birthdays into the proper folders so it can be easy to find when that day comes.
I shadowed a director/producer of the news casts. She showed me how to direct a show by switching the cameras and putting them on the preview screen. Which shows what the camera will take next. That will be what the camera or live shot shows to the viewers. I watched her edit graphics in photo shop of the "over the shoulder" images that contained many layers within the file. The director briefly went over hoe they edit their commercial for "the wheel deal" in Adobe Premier for the segment at 7.

Today I printed off birthday emails and separated them into the right folder. This made it easier to access the correct day when the birthdays were put on air. People are able to submit their birthdays and a shout out from the news channel for there birthday.
I was shown how to log the tape recorder and edit tapes. Then transfered the data to get it ready for a broadcast at noon. I labeled tapes with the title of the story and wrote down the time code of the clip.
I had the opportunity to watch live news cast from inside the studio. Where guests came in to advertise current events. This particular guest was advertising pet adoption and brought a furry friend to show that it needs a home.
Practicing and assisting news reporters with script writing was fun. I took a real story from the news press release and got it ready for the teleprompter, starting with the main point as the opening tease. Which will be read later on television.
The graphics that are used on air I observed as the designer put them together in Adobe Photoshop. These images were of stocks or people that were convicted of a crime. The image file consists of many layers that make it easier to swap photos in and out of the graphic.

I accompanied reporters and photographers to recored the governor of NY in Lowville. The governors campaign was promoting the idea of expanding snowmobiling in upstate new york. This promotion to raise awareness consisted of flyers and advertising to attract more tourists in the "North Country." We took footage of the governors speech and interviewed the senator of NY along with others that stated there thoughts on the given campaign.
I found it very interesting to see how differently photographers and reporters do there jobs. Some log the video times of the clops that they want to use in the car on the way back to the station. This saves them time instead of having to log it and edit the video once they get back to the station.
I learned how to plug in the time code of the specific place in the video of were the cut will be. In this editing process they showed me how to overlay the reporters voice over a specific image as well as getting the timing down.

I went with news reporters and photographers to the Oneida County Court House to get the details on the results of a criminals sentence. This person was convicted of murder and pled guilty. this person was then sent aced to 24 years to life in prison.
After that I went along with the camera crew and reporters to a shooting in Cooperstown. Where I observed video footage being taken of the scene and interviews of witnesses that were there at the time of the shooting to get there word on what they thought about the given situation. Cops flooded the roads and blocked them off, they figured it was the safer way to go.
I watched a live broadcast at 12 in front of the building where a man was held at gun point earlier that day. Stores went into lock down and the owner was the one to fire shots in self defense. The man then fled the store and was considered dangerous and armed. Streets were aligned with state troopers along with the K-9 unit.
This live production was televised through a tech van. Where they were able to air footage directly to the television station. Later, I watched a photographer take that video and edit it to get it ready for the news at 5 pm.

On Monday December 16th, 2013 I began my internship with WKTV. Where I was introduced to the computer program where the news stories are organized and ready to be read. This was done in a program called AP ENPS. I watched over how they edit video and showed "teases" of the video that was taken for the story. They use cassette tapes to transfer and recored videos as well as recording stories. I shadowed a director of a live news feed as she switched cameras and kept track of the time, she also gave cues to the talents to let them know when to start. The director also let the talent know which stories and information to discuss. I went along with video photographers in the field to get the scoop on a story and interviewed the victim about a break in before christmas time. After this I went back to the studio and watched a live broadcast from inside the studio.
