As I arrive in the office Monday morning, I'm ready to film! I was given an IFB, which allows me to hear the director as well as a wireless microphone. The teleprompter is running, and I am beaming with excitement. In fact, my family had been visiting and came to watch me in-studio, so I had my own audience in addition to fellow interns in-studio who were watching me.
3, 2, 1....go! Six stories later I was finished with my studio work for the day. It was an absolute blast and my boss was impressed! Of course doing stand-ups in studio in front of tons of people was a challenge for me because I wanted to make sure I was doing a good job, but I was surprised with how well I handled this challenge. After my freshman year, I had the same opportunity to do in-studio work, and I didn't handle it as confidently as I did here at BTN. The fact that I had gained confidence and was able to handle a much higher pressure situation gave me the satisfaction I really needed moving forward to next year.
Me In-Studio!
The following days that week consisted of other small tasks, some easier than others, however the task I faced that Monday morning proved to be the biggest challenge I had faced so far.
Who said Mondays couldn't be fun?
Wow Annie, that sounds so nerve-racking! It looks like you definitely conquered an obstacle and what an amazing opportunity to be able to film stand-ups. It sounds like you're learning a lot from this internship and moving toward your goals in that field while having fun.
ReplyDeleteAnnie, your internship sounds like a dream come true! It seems like your boss really appreciates your work ethic/bubbly personality. That is great that your boss gave you time in the studio and I hope you continue to have exciting opportunities in the future! Looking forward to reading the rest of your posts!
