Today was my last day at UNC-TV. We started off the day in the late morning (which was awesome) around 11 o’clock. I spent the majority of the morning working on a short clip about an art gallery in Jacksonville, NC called heART gallery. It was a story of two young men who wanted to open a place where creativity and acceptance was the norm. They opened the gallery and it was a huge success, so UNC-TV wanted to do a story on them. To create my mini masterpiece, I was able to choose my own music and pick parts of interviews to add to the clip. I used Adobe Premier to put together my 30 second film. After finishing up in the editing suite, I walked across the building with Ms. Holt to a conference room to sit in on a meeting. In the room, we watched an unfinished documentary that was brought to UNC-TV in hopes of finishing it. The film was about Shaw University. And honestly, it was quite boring and far from being finished. But it was interesting to see a documentary in its adolescent stages. The meeting was to give feedback and discuss some aspects of the film that could be improved. It was helpful to sit in on a conference in the professional world and witness firsthand how things go. Overall, I had a great time with Ms. Holt and the entire UNC-TV staff that made me feel so welcome. I learned a lot too!
