Week 10

Off the top of my head I can't think of learning anything spectacularly new. However I did stick around late on tuesday while the spader verdict was coming in. Observing not just normal breaking news but a media event was interesting, live cut ins for both the verdict and the sentencing it was pretty exciting plus I tried helping at on point by hopping on prompter. Fat lot a good that did, the anchor was playing it by hear as was everyone so that about 90 seconds into the cut in any sort a script went out the window. Fine of course since the script was only filler conversation while we waited on air with a little follow-up chat (not that it really got used as I recall). but yeah that was it.

Week 9

Hell yeah a sign of progress emerges, but first... Most of the week has been pretty benign, everything pretty ramped up for the debates and the start of sweeps but all that means is I watched the debates from the control room and briefly help breakdown on Thursday. Still a good week, till Friday, then Progress! On Friday during taping for both Close Up and NH Business we had multiple guests which required panning between them quickly. For Some reason this is a skill which I have struggled with but on Friday not only did I do it correctly but during NH Business I improvised and over the shoulder shot which the director liked. Man I was glad to see signs of progress, it felt lie I was stagnating.

weeks 7+8

During these weeks not much changed still don't quite have tapes down for promos but I am better. Got to help out some setting up for the Granite State Debates, which went much quicker since we had a light chart from the primary debates. Talked to people about how the got started in the industry and things like that. But all in all much the same.
