5th day

there were a lot of activities this day...sir tj, the administrative officer for news and public affairs asked us to do the media id...during that time, someone approached if i want to be a talent for a fit and fab episode...it was fun and the people were so nice...after that the PA of the beat invited me to observe in doing some plug materials...he taught me some of the basics in linear editing...it was nice cause i was able to ask some question about his work and other stuff...so there...

3rd and 4th day... "not today!"

nothing's really new about this day...first quarter of the day was very quiet because people usually come at the office after lunch...what i usually do during those boring moments is that i always try to research for some segment proposals because our EP is asking me to do some..so there...watching tv, reading some magazines,etc. after lunch,there! office becomes noisy...i usually render assistance in preparing some of the documents needed in their upcoming shoots...did some phonecalls, answering phonecalls, and all..

i also witnessed how frustrated people might become whenever there are some problems with ther productions...whenever this happen, they always say "not today!"

2nd day... management issues of rumors

nothing so special about my second day here at "the beat". like my first day, people from this program asked me to render my assistance in preparing some of the papers needed for their upcoming shoots...i was asked to go to some of the offices here in gma...its also nice to see some of the gma "lords" like Gozon, Duavit, etc. in elevators...gma artists roaming around gma center like ordinary people...remember the assignment i mentioned? yeah, i did some researches about Baler. Unfortunately, i wasn't able to find a detailed map of BaLer...even in National Bookstore, there's no such! hai....anyway its ok...

around 7pm, me and my co-intern from CEU had a nice talk with some of the researchers of "the beat". there i learned some of the issues here in gma regarding with the management...kinda sad...but that's life! hahaha anyway, i guess were going to have some spiels tomorrow for the upcoming episodes of the beat...wish i'll learn something new from that...

orientation and my first day..

It was feb.18 when we took our orientation in GMA. we learned the rules and regulations needed to be followed by the practicumers. Also in that day, programs of assignments were given to us. i was assigned to the program "the Beat".

Feb.20, my first day of internship. When i came at the office, i ws surprised 'coz nobody was there. i waited for several minutes until another intern from CEU arrived. there i learned that people from that program usually come to the office after lunch, nice thing because i have a companion. There I already met the staff like the EP, researchers, segment producer,etc. What i did that day? uhmmm...i asked to prepare a TFR, its a request for cameras whenever programs are about to have their shoots. run some errands for the researchers and for other the beat people. in the late afternoon, Mr. Archie Madrid (ring a bell?!!hehehe) invited me to come with him to preview the segment he produced for the edsa anniversary episode and observe on how editing is done. im so lucky because interns are not allowed to enter the editing place for security purposes. but becayse kuya archie was so nice and a PUP Almni, i was able to enter that floor(good thing i wasn't caught by the guards). So there, that was my first day at "The Beat". i need to go home early for the EP and one of the researchers asked me to do some proposals and researchers.till next time...
