Before the career exploration visit, I thought there would be more people around the station and more stress in the environment but I was wrong. KTVU is very calm, there wasn’t anything crazy going on at the studio. I also thought there would be more people to be able to run a news broadcast. Though, only about 5-10 people where in the process. KTVU was friendly, too, the people that gave us a tour also answered our questions before we could even ask them.
One of my predictions that turned out to be true was that we were able to see the studio. I watch KTVU in the morning, and it was exciting to see what I watch on television. Though, I wouldn’t want to work at this place because it isn’t in my interest. I’d like to work in the dental field as an orthodontist. I thought the graphic designers job could’ve been the best job because he gets to work with cool programs. Another thing that was interesting was how there was no need for a floor director, everything was “high-tech” now.
A prediction that turned out to be false was being able to meet more of the talent, that’s what I was excited about. Instead, we met the people in the background, the ones that really run the show. Though, it was important that we got to meet the designers and everyone in the control room. That’s where the real talent was. I also like the robotic cameras in the studio, they were controlled from a whole different place. Overall, I’m glad we got a chance to go to a place where there were different types of careers involving multimedia. It was a great experience.
