My first week
at Screaming Flea productions was not that eventful. I was given a
tour of the office and met everyone and learned their jobs. The
studio is in the industrial district of South Seattle. I spent my
first day transcribing clips from a show that is in production. The
show is about fishing, and for around 2 hours (after the tour) I
spent carefully typing up everything that the characters said. It is
a tedious job, but it is important and I know that the writers will
be using my work later. I am not the biggest fan of transcribing but
I will have to hone my skills because I know that I will have to do
more of it soon. For the rest of the week, I researched different
story ideas for the development team. In order to begin working
towards producing a show there must be an adequate amount of
research. The two subjects I spent a lot of time on were Presidential
Pardons and cases of real-life resurrection as a result of prayer. It
was pretty cool using my skills from research projects at school this
year to contribute something to the team that would use it. I look
forward to more tasks like this, but definitely hope I will be able
to sit in on development meetings and other aspects of production.
My job is also quite tedious, so I feel ya on that one! Developing story ideas sounds very interesting, especially the two that you researched. What part of film production did you initially want to work on/ learn about?
ReplyDeleteWhat exactly is the purpose of your internship? What does Screaming Flea productions do?
ReplyDeleteAlthough it sounds like a lot of the work that you partook in this past summer was tedious work, it is definitely must have been nice to know that the writers would be using your work later on. Were you able to do any other tasks?
