The television studio was an amazing experience. I learned a lot about how a real tv studio works. Usually, when watching on tv, all thats seen is the talent. I got a close look at how many jobs there are to putting on a real television production. One job I learned how to do was be the director of the whole production. The director is a stressful job because basically, you are telling everyone what to do at the exact time when they should do it and then they have to execute. If you miss telling them something, then it's on you and likely that part of the production. The job that was hardest for me was the Sound Board. You are basically controlling the sound of the whole production so you have to make sure the talents volume is similar and the sound for the introduction and conclusion, that the sound is on. It is stressful because sound is one of the most important things in a production. As you know, the talent was my favorite job. As I did it a few more times, I started to get the hang of it and feel even more comfortable. I also realized that getting enough breath before a word is said is valued because you do not want to run out of breath in the middle of your sentence. In conclusion, the tv studio was a blast and I hope to continue working in there as the semester goes on.

As our class started to learn the in's and outs of the studio, I started as the floor director. Floor director was a cool experience because I got to control everything going on in the studio and could communicate with the director in the control room. For example, I would tell the talent when to start talking and give them hand signals to talk faster or slower. My next job was the camera. For the camera, we had to learn the right shot and focus in between the two talents and also make sure that the desk they were at was in view. After, I got to be the talent. That definitely was my favorite job. Mr. Goble taught us to sit up on the edge of our chair and to read the propter slowly. Reading the prompter at first was weird but once I got used to it, naturally it came. Overall, the first tv studio jobs were great and I genuinely enjoyed the experience.
