TWOFOUR - DAY 5
Today was my final day of my first week at TwoFour and today I got to go into MCR. MCR is where they log and capture all the tapes ready to go into the library where the editors can go and get the footage they need without hunting through every tape used during the production. This was o.k. but it was just general logging and capturing the same thing we all do with our projects. All I had to do was load the tape, mark (log) each scene change with a brief description, save it, type in the barcode number and rewind the tape and do the same thing over again with another tape. The process didn’t take long because I was told to fast-forward through the tapes quickly just to get a rough description of the tapes content.
After lunch I got another chance to go into the editing suite with Bernie and Kelly again for an hour and half, which was fun! After that I continued to log some tapes of Hotel Inspector for Sharon and Bernie ready for him to read through before their next editing session.
I really enjoyed my first week at TwoFour and I have generally surprised myself because I thought I would like a career within a journalistic area of the media but now I’m not too sure.
To be honest I didn’t think I would enjoy the placement as much as I did because my interest in the media industry were in other areas but I wanted to go for the experience to see how a ‘real’ production company worked. Having had this opportunity
I think I would like working within T.V Broadcast and out of my week’s placement I have preferred working in the editing suite which has completely shocked me because at the start of this course I saw editing as one of my weaknesses and something I wasn’t really keen on. However having completed more editing assignments and being in a ‘real’ edit suite this week it’s something I might consider branching into as a career.
Overall I feel this week’s placement has been very beneficial to me and has made me think strongly about the different careers I may enjoy and like to consider in the near future.

4 x links, 1 x screengrab, 1 x photo, 2 x pic refs. After spending 10 years working my way up from the bottom to Director at the BBC I had to do all the logging of the rushes for the shows I directed in a dingy basement! Glad to see your widening your career preferences. You have all the skills to do well in TV Production.
