I have categorized the jobs I have been given at my internship in to three different types; manual jobs, audio manual jobs and production jobs. Manual jobs are opening mail, sending emails and organizing the music library. Audio manual jobs ripping audio tracks into sessions, entering new compilations CDs in to the BMP Music database and entering acts in to the BMP Acts database. I would consider production jobs as editing raw material into acts and editing acts into a finalized program.
One audio manual jobs I had was to created acts from the raw interview and the from that create the cue sheets for the acts. I create acts by listening through the audio interview and split it in to parts which I think would be good for the radio program. There are technical skills needed to finalize the audio acts so they can be used in Pro Tools which I have been taught to do.
Later on in the week I carried on with the Burns bonus material which after my first draft, my supervisor and his boss viewed my work. They were both impressed in my skills but there was many ways that I can improve, the tips they gave me will help me create better production pieces.
I worked my usual hours on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday which added up to 13 hours.
Total: 80 hour
Joe,
ReplyDeleteWhat percentage of your time is spent on the three types of work you do at the internship?
What sort of feedback did you get on your Burns piece? How long did it take you to do that?
Is there anyone at BMP who has been mentoring you? How do you hope to use what you are learning on this internship when you return to England?
