Sorry for the late update everyone. My life is still busy
with senior project and other surprise events. Here is an account of last Wednesday.
I had the wonderful opportunity to tour a local news
station. My project sponsor took me to Channel 3 Studio, which has a reputation
for being one of the nicest looking studios in the nation. The building is
situated right on the lake. It is not very tall or imposing as I thought it
would be. Nevertheless, it looked spotless. After passing a security desk, I
came into a large room filled with people working at computers. They were
putting together the 7:00PM show. My project sponsor is well known in the
industry, so she was going up to countless people to say hi and to introduce me
to old contacts. Once we were done touring the production room, we got to watch
a live newscast inside the studio room. The room is actually an elaborate set
built into one side of the production space. The pacing felt much slower than
watching it on tv. There was no dramatic music and no rapid layovers and cuts.
The newscasters said their lines in between yells from a person following the
production schedule. I chuckled quietly at one point as I watched some of the
crew making strange faces while one of the newscasters was doing a story on
some disgusting topic. I will post photos from the event in a little bit.
