I take two buses to get to my intern which can take between 30 and 45 minutes, I am really interested in to going into Radio production or something similar so I didn’t mind traveling a long distance to somewhere where I would get an experience and feel of what this kind of career is like.
On my first day I was given a brief tour of the offices and studios I’ll be working in for my time as an Intern and met other people that work at BMP Audio. I have been given a mix of manual and skilled tasks to fulfill each week which I am happy with, I think I prefer this way so that I can ease my way in to the technical parts of the production side. Some of the manual tasks include opening letters which include promotional CDs and organizing the music library which has thousands of CDs, records and tapes. I do not mind either job as both expose me to music genres and artists I haven’t previously heard or known about, Erik has also mentioned that if there is any CD’s catch my eye I can rip the music on to my laptop which is an added perk. Erik, my supervisor, has taught me basic Pro Tools which are essential in his work as he produces a radio program on a weekly basis. More time I spend at BMP Audio, the more I will help in the process of completing his radio program, this could be from script writing, recording, sound editing to mixing and mastering. All these skills are transferable to future workplaces if I decide I want to purse a career in this part of the Media.
So far I haven’t come across any dilemmas or issues which I am pleased with, BMP Audio seems to be a great workplace as it is friendly and laid back, also helps that Ben’s dog wanders around the place too.
On Tuesday I worked four hours, Wednesday I worked five hours and also on Thursday I worked four hours. These have been my agreed hours to work unless something educational comes up where I cannot turn up to the internship. This week I have worked thirteen hours and now have a total of fifteen hours.
Total hours worked: 15 hours
