The privileges that come with the profession of journalism are just beyond imagination.I didn't choose the profession for the glamour but for the desire to disseminate news to those who care to watch,listen and read.And without bragging, i am living my dream.
Last Saturday, i went to film an FA trophy tie between Eastleigh FC and Lewes at the Silverlake stadium.The stewards and officials from the host team were more than co-operative to my film crew.There was a degree of respect and honour.After the match, the officials also organised, some interviews with the team managers for the two teams.
Life in mainstream journalism has just begun and being a video journalist is not as easy as one might assume.There are technical nightmares associated with it.Thank goodness,i did a sound check before interviewing the managers.Soon after the match,i connected the radio mic and noted that there was some distortion and a lot of reverb.After trying a few tricks,i resigned to the idea of fixing it and opted for the gun mic.
Editing on final cut pro was quite easy because,i had my story board written before hand.General views and cut aways are essential in any bulletin package and i used them quite effectively.
I am also impressed by the teamwork within the news room.In particular, the production department has been awesome.Keep it up guys!!!!!
