First Video Project – Internship

I recently had my first individual video assignment for my internship at the Burlington Times News.  I was assigned to cover a baseball game at Cummings High School in Burlington, NC.  At first I was very nervous to go out alone.  I do not have much experience with shooting video, nor to I really understand the game of baseball.  Before I went out, I watched all of the baseball videos that were on the web site and they really helped me understand what the final product would look like.  My boss was not in the office, so when I returned I had to stay and edit to video by myself.  It was certainly a challenge but I enjoyed it a lot.  I often think that you learn my by being thrown intro situations, as I was with this assignment.  I look forward to bigger projects, and not just sports because there is a lot that can be uncovered with a video camera.  As we often hear in class, you should take your video camera with you everywhere you go.  I am beginning to think that is exactly what I will do this summer.
