Fourth week @ BMP Audio (8.10 - 14.10)


I had few manual jobs I completed this week which included repackaging the box of CDs and walking to Fed Ex shipping place to send off package which was a few blocks away. Like the previous mailing job, I didn’t mind doing it as I get to see more of the city while I am here and it also gets me out of the office for a while. The box needed repackaging as there was a few more CDs that were going to be put in it. I also opened up mail including promotional CDs, as BMP Audio produce a music program, they get CDs in the post of artists and bands that would like to get their music to be played to an audience. Another job included was to fax letters to another company, I haven’t used a fax machine before so Erik went through all the steps and seems rather easy to use. Learning little things in the office like using the fax machine or learning how to file checks are easily transferrable into any future career that I may have.

I was not asked to complete any audio manual jobs this week but I had a few main production jobs I completed were that I researched Donna Summer and her song I Feel Love and edited and consolidated Elwood liners. Each year, the National Recording Registry at the Library of Congress chooses 25 recordings to be preserved for all time. Inside the National Recording Registry, produced by Ben Manilla Productions, highlights some of those selections, our series receives production support from the Library of Congress. One of the selections is ‘I Feel Love’ by Donna Summer, so BMP Audio will produce at 10 minute program on this song and I started today by researching the basics and see what points we could add in the program.

This week I worked Tuesday and Thursday as normal but I was not avliable to work Wednesday. Erik and I came to an agreement and I came in on Friday and worked the hours I was meant to on Wednesday, which totaled 13 hours.

Total: 54 hours
