My name is Josue Alberto and I’m a current student at New York City College of Technology majoring in Emerging Media Technology. I have achieved over 100 credits toward my Bachelors in Technology and I’m determined to graduate this fall semester. I’ve completed courses in Video Productions, Computer Art I & II, Flash Animations and Multimedia Web Development. The skills that these courses provided and my dedication, have given me the opportunity to volunteer as a video technician for the Greater New York Conference of the SDA Association. My future goal is to become a Creative Media Director and possibly a film Director. Video making is something I enjoy doing and, I believe to do for a long time in my life. To make all this happen. Gaining more knowledge in the areas of technology is a must since it will always be evolving. This internship will help with the development of the foundation of my career by providing funds for expensive equipment needed for Professional video production and Multimedia Design. It all started with making picture slideshows, adding effects and music. Being able to combine different content and making it become one piece of work, which tells a story was the start to my interest in video editing. Starting a professional career in this field and getting paid for it would be the best thing that can happen. Being able to have a good video camera is a must and the part time job won’t facilitate in providing enough to acquire a Professional camera, which will change everything I can do. I’ve always been told that I’m talented in the type of work I create and develop. My Friends and family have always supported me and have always told me to keep doing what I enjoy doing. That’s part of the motivation that keeps me going forward and makes me confident in my ability to achieve my career aspirations.

My Internship experience working in Transcendent Enterprise video production company was a unique opportunity. Transcendent Enterprise is own by Chris Alvarez a great leader and teacher, his company is dedicated in providing creative custom video products for any specific brand. Specializing in graphic animation for mostly corporate and educational institutions. The department that I was involved was in the filming and editing division.

This is called the post-production where the filming is first completed and then editing comes in to play.
We had to develop the projects in order to create a storyline and add content to the project like music, titles and graphic animations. The events I was able to attend were at NYU Tandon, 4A’s Conference and many more. I was able to meet creative and innovative people working in these locations.

This week at Transcendent Enterprise we had a different type of project of filming project. The project consisted of recording interviews of people for a promotional video for a company. Once we got to the location the setup process begun. One of the important things is setting up for a shoot is deciding the location. When the location is decided the camera is placed and the lights have to be setup on the spot where the interviewer is going to stand or sit. The location has to be marked since the camera set to focus on the person. When it comes to the lighting setup about three light have to be used to lit the subject correctly. I’ve also learned about the audio being very important. We had two different microphones. One of them was a shotgun mic and the other was a wireless lavalier mic. Shotgun mic has to be mounted and plugged directly to the camera using a XLR audio cable. The wireless mic has a transmitter and a receiver. The lav has to be clipped to the subject in order to capture good sound. Seeing all the elements working together was interesting is producing a high quality video.
