The first thing we did today was craft some social media posts. These social media posts are mostly promoting an event for this Thursday called the Blue Cocktail Event (it's "blue" because it's a Democratic event). This is one of many events that I wish to take advantage of after my set work hours by … Continue reading August 26, 2019 →

Today, I continued to learn about the various functions of the Lucas County Democratic Party. Something that I noticed yesterday was that there were lots of newspaper clippings in the office, most of them organized into different manila folders. I dismissed it yesterday, but today it really provoked my curiosity: why were there so many … Continue reading August 23, 2019 →

I had interned previously for the Lucas County Democrats during the summer, but it was very brief (about a week) because I had left the country shortly after joining. What is interesting is that the last time I interned, it was also close to election day. Last time, we were about two months from November. … Continue reading August 22, 2019 →

Today was a particularly unique day because it was my last day here at WGTE, and I learned about various aspects of filmmaking on this last day. Today, I spent my time with the director of Business360, the show I have been frequently speaking about in my other blog posts. As a result, I learned … Continue reading June 3, 2019 →

There's audio design, teleprompting, … Continue reading May 31, 2019 →

Through my blogs, I have emphasized my participation in only one part of film production, the post-production phase. In filmmaking, there are three main steps to production: Pre-Production is when the most basic decisions are made, like who will be directing the film, who will be in the film, where will the video be filmed, and most importantly, what will … Continue reading May 30, 2019 →

The two people I usually would work with are out on vacation today, so today I spent time with Ray Miller, Director of Content and Creative Services. Generally, he is the executive producer on most of the film projects which means he has the final say on creative matters during production. Mr. Miller, like most … Continue reading May 29, 2019 →

Today I finally put some finishing touches on my "Inspire" segment from WGTE's Business360 show. It's very hard to say something like "I'm done" when you're working on something like video editing because it seems that there is always something that you could improve. So if you are a perfectionist, the video editing process may … Continue reading May 28, 2019 →

Today I did continue to work on the project that I had mentioned in previous blog posts. This project is, of course, the "Inspire" segment of WGTE's show, Business360 with Kristi Hoffman. There were many parts of the clip that I had to alter to bring it to its current state including cutting the audio … Continue reading May 24, 2019 →
