For the final TV assignment of the year, us PR majors were told to grab a camera, and go do some networking: find a communications professional willing to take the time to sit under some the bright lights and answer questions from a couple of students.
It was a great opportunity to get to ask people in the public relations profession just how they got to where they are today, and what sort of things us soon-to-be-grads should do to prepare for getting a job in communications.
This was by far the most challenging of our TV assignments, mainly because of the time pressures – there simply was no time to re-do a shot. It also tested all of our production skills: shooting, audio, and lighting, the latter two which are still pretty new to us and made more difficult by the fact that you want to appear to know what you’re doing, especially when your interviewee could be a potential employer!
That being said, Lennie and myself got an amazing grade for our hard work and it actually turned out quite well! (See for yourself below.) So if anyone out there is looking to produce a corporate video, there are two eager producers right here, and here!
Thanks again to Greg Burch and MTS Allstream for allowing us to film them and drag our carload of equipment all around the building!
