PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WAVY) — Wow! I am already finished with my first month as a WAVY TV 10 Intern. Only if time went slower. I had the best month ever, shadowing, being able to work hands-on, and making great content to post for the Hampton Roads Show. As the month comes to a close, I will walk through all the new experiences I have had.
Shadowing
One thing I really enjoyed this month was being able to shadow the different positions at WAVY TV 10. I was able to shadow the producers for the Hampton Roads Show and the noon day show. All I can say is there are a lot of things to do before getting anything to air. It was fun to see the different processes the two producers had and I now understand everything just a bit more.
I then shadowed the camera operator and Kenisha working the prompter. Even though it was a bit confusing to understand, we are able to shadow and work with everyone more than once. Today, I was able to work the prompter by myself for a while during the noon day show. It was nerve wrecking but I knew I had the support the whole time.
Social Media
Part of my job is to maintain the Twitter and Tik Tok for the Hampton Roads Show. I am able to use my creative ideas every single day. Anything I want to accomplish for social media, I am able to because of how much support I get from everyone.
We tried to do something different and had a segment for President’s Day. Down below is the Tik Tok I made with Chris Reckling — to see if anyone could name five Presidents.
Wrapping Up
Overall my month was filled with excitement and opportunities all around. I can’t wait to keep up the work and getting the chance to meet new people.
