The next
week Anna Wintour visited the DIA for Bruce Webber’s exhibition. I
attended this shoot with our video journalist, Michelle, and our style editor
Jon Jordan. Again, being professional in every respect from what I was wearing
to how I introduced myself to Ms. Wintour was the priority. The shoot was great
and it was extremely rewarding to be able to help with the set-up, organization
and coordination of the interview. Afterwards, as always, we were sure to get interviews
with attendees, b-roll of the exhibition and a couple practice stand ups. Jon
Jordan also cleared his schedule to sit down and write the piece with me on
Monday which will air sometime this week.
Again, it all feels like a whirlwind that I can barely get down
on paper fast enough. These two experiences, however, have showcased how lucky
I am to be working with the people at Channel 4. It truly is an atmosphere
where you get out as much as you put in. My hard work and extra hours at the station
result in getting to be involved in these amazing experiences and that is
something I am not at all taking for granted. Even more so, working with well-known
personalities has taught me a lot about the interview-culture
in broadcast journalism. It becomes so much easier to have a
conversation on camera when you treat it as if it was any conversation you'd
have with your best friend in your living room. Be natural, be nice and be
genuinely interested. I can’t wait to see what the next few weeks have to
hold!
It is great to hear that you are keeping up with the craziness and having such a great experience. Sometimes things seem overwhelming because their is so much going on, but don't forget to absorb as much as possible! Your hard work will always pay off!
