I learned that researching what you’ll like to do for a long time in your life is important. Being able to make that decision at an early point in life can change how our future will be. At first I was lost and didn’t have a idea of what exactly I want to do and continue after college. I’ve set a goal and will try my best to accomplish it. I’ve obtained an internship in a Video Production Company (Transcendent Enterprise) its helping me understand the real world clients and time frame of how that corporate Video Editing companies function.

Throughout this week I was able to look at the editing software that is used to edit video. One of the important steps is first to organize all the footage by the camera in different folder before importing into the editing software. The project I was helping was a promo video for NYU.

• Organize and string together raw footage into a continuous whole according to scripts or the instructions of directors and producers.
• Trim film segments to specified lengths, and reassemble segments in sequences that present stories with maximum effect.
• Determine the specific audio and visual effects and music necessary to complete films.
• Set up and operate computer editing systems, electronic titling systems, video switching equipment, and digital video effects units to produce a final product.
• Select and combine the most effective shots of each scene to form a logical and smoothly running story.

This week was the production week where I was able to go out with the production team to the conference event to setup camera and help record the presentations throughout  the day. The event started really early that day. The location was very nice conference room with big projection screens. The video team did a two camera setup. One camera was a closeup and one camera was a wide shoot at the back of the room. The camera had a special lens so it would be able to zoom in and out to capture the speaker doing their presentation. Understanding the way the camera works was a bit confusing at  first.  The conference event  was long and overwhelming since it started around 8:00 am and finished around 5:30 pm. Once we finished filming the presentations, we had to take down the equipment and package it up for the next day. The production process has a lot involved and it was a great learning  experience this week.
