Overall
all the time spent at Asbury I found was great education for me due to the
viewers being older people required me to think of editing the video into a
slower pace either by showing title more often or making text more visible. I
can’t thank enough with working with Joon Kim and Eric Thornett two great guys
that were great advisors in how the studio they run works and some edited techniques
they use for the residents. I must also thank Eric Anderson because without him
never would be able to meet AVTV staff and have this experience.

Closing Thoughts (Comm 450)

The last edited Project "Benevolent Care" (Comm 450)
Now before the week is over there was one last
project that I worked on before leaving AVTV. This project was editing together
an event held in the theater that talked about Asbury’s Benevolent Care
program. This program allows residents that
have no savings left to still be able to afford saying at Asbury. Now what was
required for me to complete the project was to edit like normal for Asbury View
to add in the titles of the guest and work on any technical problems that
happened during the record. The add in for this project was to work in the
presentations slides into the recorded footages so when its shown on Asbury
View channel viewers will know what was presented on the sliders sometimes
during the recording or talked about from the speakers.
Now
this project was the longest in the recorded footage I edited at being an hour
and nineteen minutes long. So this requires checking through all the visual and
audio are at expectable levels for the show, before diving into what is needed
added after this. Now the number one thing added into this is the title names
of the speakers and seeing there were five speakers for this event that looking
through hour plus footage and adding in names of the speakers plus the audience
for this Show is older folks which can be viewing the show at anytime so titles
need to show more often then normal. After the names are added in next is to
incorporate the presentation slides into the footage. For this needed to
readjust all the slides to full the screen because there were to small to read
when first added into timeline in Adobe Premiere.
Next is to find the points
where seeing these slides will fit in and I put them in location where camera
look at the screen the slides were on or when the speakers mentioned some the
slide points to get a good balance of speaker and talk point.

Full Trust (Comm 450)
At this point in time during my time with AVTV I definitely can see that have gotten used to how the process works for this station and feel comfortable with how the record works now. For example, for this week recording session for Asbury View I completely did the process setup the studio and master control room myself then proceed to direct the cameramen. This was happened due to lack of the main being available during the time so knowing that they faith in handling the show when there away is a great confidence booster for my work in the future. So the show proceeded as planned and went with out a hitch.
Now
after the show was record and polished up in the editing process there was
another event happening later that day in the Theater. This event was talking
about Asbury’s Benevolent Care program, which is a program that allows
residents that have no savings, left to still be able to afford saying at
Asbury. Now for this event AVTV was asked to record the event for later use to
be shown on Asbury View.
So I head back to master control room now work with the cameras preset up in the theater. However, there is a control on the cameras that always take different angles of the theater from three different cameras. So during this event I was switch between the cameras like normal in Asbury View, but also readjusting the cameras angles to get close up or two shots of the speakers and switching between the two constant while still remember to switch that camera to be recorded. Overall a lot brainpower is used to make sure you know which camera and shot is needed in those situations, but with more practice I’ll be able to get a better idea of how to plan in future.

To Still to Movement (Comm 450)
During
this week interning at AVTV I was given the opportunity during the editing of
the show to add in filler content as a in-between piece before the next
interviews is shown on Asbury View. To start the process of what could be used
I work with Eric Thornett on ideas what could be possible to show or add to
Asbury View that could be used. After some debate on what was possible or what
was already done before during AVTV airing I liked the idea of doing like a
Q&A segment on the show that lets residents ask question to guest to know
better about the guests or subject matter happening around Asbury or just
general question their curious about. However,
the idea was scraped because of the amount of time to set that up before the
show had to be aired the following week. So Joon pulled up photos of a Gazebo
on Asbury campus that was contained pictures throughout the scenes to make into
a slideshow of sorts.

Editing a new Project Lectures (Comm 450)
Now that half of the Internship has
past bye hear at AVTV been able to get a better handle of the process hear at
AVTV. So much so that leaves down time in-between assignments. Now downtime
isn’t bad because its going to happen regardless when you export video files
over half hour or hour long. This times lets you plan out the other ideas to
complete the following assignments or lets you relax for a while before going
back into the projects.
After completing
the two assignments that are given each week to complete I started working on a
Lecture video that at happened at Asbury. This lecture was talking about
smartphone and how the residents can get a better handle of what they do. The
lecturer was an Asbury resident that got a handle of what the technology was
capable and wanted to talk out the apps that see uses and what is most used
apps that you use when having a smartphone. Now how I edited this lecture was
to work between the two camera shot angles that focused on the speakers and the
screen. Now during the lecture the speaker would talked about what the
smartphone did anything as she speaking I’ll focus on those actions she did and
when she went into details about a app she used I switched over to the screen
that got up close look of the app. So I divided the attention between two shot
focus areas the speaker and screen. Keeping simple switch points when going
from one talk point to another keeps editing simple and make the viewers not
confused on what the focal point is. So finding the right angle in regards to
the subject matter is what Production is all about and then editing is fusing
the shots into makes sense.
