Disapointment

Getting ready for yesterdays Titan Town Sports edition was good, I had pretty much everything done in the morning and felt very confident about the rundown. Last week we decided to put a music bed underneath the highlights for this show. We had WC highlights, hounds highlights and the game of the week. So we put down a bed for it and after the show we try to nit pick anything that we didn’t think flowed. The only thing that we saw wrong was that the music bed was the same and it sounded repetitive by the time we were done with the highlights. So for this weeks show we had different beds to mix it up. About a half hour before the show my anchor asked me to see the tape with the highlights and that scared me. Were in the show and everything looked and sounded great. But then we got to the game of the week and about mid way my anchor got lost and confused on what was happening. All and all the content was good but I guess I failed as a producer because I assumed my anchor new the highlights and that person did not.

First show

Finally it’s the week of the show. This week is our first show and we have had two weeks to get ready for it and I’m still nervous. We have our rundown pretty much set, we have some video and all we need now is our student athlete and SAAC athlete of the week. Thursday came around and David Greg and I were putting the finishing touches on everything but we still didn’t have a student athlete just the SAAC. It wasn’t a big deal but it would have been nice. The show went well but after the show we conversed and we thought it would be more interactive if we had music bed underneath the highlights to jazz it up a bit.

Nervous

Getting ready for our first show was a pretty nerve racking but we got through it. On Monday I wasn't sure what were even going to do for the show or how much time we wanted for the show. We had a lot of ideas but there was no definite schedule. Tuesday I started filming a bunch of different sporting events so we had some type of content. I filmed girls soccer and also a new addition to the show "Garrett's How to soccer second."

Capstone bonding


For our capstone class this week we went to Titan reverse. We did several exercises to get our class comfortable communicating with each other and to help us realize that we can count on one another if we ever need help. One exercise we did was Tanks and Drivers. We got into a group of two, with one person blindfolded who was the Tank and the other person who was the Driver had to guide the Tank to pick up a ball and throw it at another tank. This was very difficult because you couldn't see and you had to really listen for your drivers voice. This exercise made me realize how much were going to have to communicate with each other this semester if we want to get certain assignments done. This was a lot of fun and also a real eye opener for what will happen this year.
