MEDIACORP INTERNSHIP WILT (DAY 1)
Today was the first day of my attachment with mediacorp. Met up with ruoyi and serene at tpy interchange and we took 157 to mediacorp. We reached there at ard 830 but the rest were alr there at 8 oclock. hehe. Then we waited till Erina brought us to the meeting room and collect our forms and issue us our pass. Then we waited again....till 10.. and then someone brought us to tour ard mediacorp. Anw we have to wait till 10 coz the people there doesnt report work so early. Then we being allocated our respective departments. At first, i was under 财经追击。but then it was changed to CrossFire later.
After we get to the office, the first job that my supervisor asked me to do was to go the chinese mediacorp forum to post msg. Well, visiting forums was one of my hobbies and tagging at forums is my forte. hehe..But then not long after, i was asked to go with XiuQin to the editting room to watch the people edit. And from it, i finally knew how a trailer was being done.
1) We followed 曾月丽 to the sound recording room to see her do her VO. Her pronounciation was brillant. She took 2 takes before she passed the tape to the editting room.
2) In the editting room, we saw how the editor edit and insert the images that the people want. She was damn fast and within 2 hrs, the trailer was done. PRO! Can watch out on tv the 焦点 trailer. It's abt bush and some china politics stuffs. that's the trailer that i am talking about.
After we have our lunch but seriously speaking, i think the canteen cmi... i wonder how the artistes and the workers can survive it for such a long time.....
When we get back, we stoned for quite a long while before Joclyn (nt sure whether izzit spelt this way) asked us to go and edit the archives. I think that's the first major task that i was given today.
After editting, Joclyn and another woman(forgot her name but she was very nice) brought us tour ard mediacorp. Coz i think they are going to bring the completed trailers to the advertising department. hence we tagged along. After the first 2 steps stated above,
3) bring the tape/trailer to the advertising department for approval. For the same trailer, they will make at least 3 different types. It means for example, there are 今晚1030pm，明晚10.30pm and 星期四 10.30pm.
4) and then after approval, they will bring the tapes to the 2 Digital Media Centres for broadcasting. There are 2 DMCs because in case of terrorism, there is still another DMC that i s able to broadcast shows.
I find the office in the advertising department damn cool. On almost every desks, there will be a computer and a television. And all the computers and televisions are switched on. Most importantly, there is SCV for the tvs. I saw one desk with the tv showing TVB channel and another one watching the 小气大财神 .
Anw though today most of the time we were slacking and stoning, but we really managed to see alot of backstage stuffs. Yah. and i think the department that i was allocated to was quite ok. I think i no need to come back during the weekends. But there are some other departments that require the students to come back during weekends and stay till night.
