Well, I'm in my third week of school and I have overcome most of my problems and more specifically, I have gotten used to this website. However, despite all that I have learned, I am still a newbie. As a newbie, it makes it harder for me to understand what to do without getting an explanation from my partner or from others who are more experienced media members than me. Here are three things that are still posing a challenge for me.
First, I still need to learn how to do a radio audio clip. My partner and I are scheduled to do our first recording this coming Thursday. I am excited, but also a little worried. The problem with doing the audio clip for the radio is that I don't really know how to set it up. For example, I need to learn how to edit the audio recordings. I also need to learn how to combine the short recordings into one final segment. I am also a little worried about how I will sound on the radio. After all, no one really likes the sound of their own voice on a recording. For me, hearing my own voice sounds awkward. But luckily I am being guided by my partner and I am slowly getting used to it. Hopefully in the future, I will be able to do the audio recording independently or without too much help from others.
Another thing that I still need to get used to is the hands on experience of filming the morning announcements. Even though I've had the opportunity to watch others and to get a general idea of how things are done, I haven't actually had any hands on experience yet. The fact that I am a newbie will probably mean that I have a high chance of making a mistake on accident. My goal this week is to gain enough experience to be able to do my part without making any mistakes. I am hoping to get the job of video taping because that's what seems to be the easiest for me. But with my luck, I will probably be assigned the role of "titler". That's the person who titles all the texts and switches between backgrounds. Hopefully, if I do my part correctly, I can learn another part of the video process the next time around.
Interviewing others with my partner, Carter, is this week's third and final challenge for me. This is because I have never filmed an interview before. I am relying on my partner to guide me on how to do a interview. Newbie mistakes that I hope to avoid include asking a question that has already been answered or not being prepared. For example, this might include experiencing equipment failures because I forgot to check it ahead of time. With Carter's guidance, I hope to be able to do a interview without a lot of mistakes.
In conclusion, I have shared three things that are still giving me the most trouble as a newbie. They pose a challenge to me because they are skills I have yet to learn and they require a lot of work to learn to do them correctly. I know I can do it, but I worry that I will end up making a lot of mistakes along the way. Luckily for me, my partner is great, and I am confident that with his help, I will accomplish everything I need to be successful this quarter.
