TV Station Intern

Good for you for interning at such a young age – I hope to god my kids are this industrious when they're in high school! Do you plan on looking into college programs in TV/production? Do you see yourself working in TV as an adult? (Best of luck!)

Hey there! Thanks so much for your comments. I partially answered this in another question, but don't worry about it. I'll explain again:

Some of the kids (and adults) I work with have a true passion for TV Production. I love it too, but it's in a different way. What I like about what I do is the teamwork, pressure, and responsibility that I get to experience at a young age. Of course, those things can be found in (some) other places, too. It just so happened that this program existed in my community. But if another place had, for example, a maritime program that involved learning how to operate a ship (just because I wish that existed), then that would also do the same things for me. I would get to experience teamwork and real life pressure.

So the short answer: no. I would not seriously consider college programs and/or becoming a professional. There are just so many other things that I'm interested in more. But doing it in high school is a great experience, and I plan on continuing until I graduate.

Hope this answered your question!

can you inform me or give some explanation about what kind of stuff (mainly the kind of monitors that appear in that picture), because I have only a little bit of knowledge about TV control room

Hi. Okay so basically all of those screens are different things going on. Some are camera shots from the studio, some are camera shots from the field, some are graphics made by people in the control room, some are videos that can be shown, etc. Then there's one image that is the "program." It's pretty much exactly what people are seeing at home. To make that image, we have to choose which camera shot we will use and which graphics will also be on the screen.

Lets say you want to have a reporter with a name caption, and then a video clip from a few hours ago. You would first have to select the reporter's camera shot, and then have the name tag go up too. Then after, you would have the video clip replace the reporter on screen.

It can be pretty simple depending on how you look at it. If you still have questions, or if I didn't answer something clearly, please let me know!

How many butchers and complainers call in to the station? I know with weather for instance people get angry even if it’s a EF-5 tornado for interrupting their show but others get mad if they don’t break in for a tornado warring barley touching
