PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WAVY) – When I first stepped into my office space in the promotions department, I knew I was in for a world of fun and enlightenment. My experience working with Mike, Antonio, Nicole, Ezra, Victoria and Michael introduced me to promo scripts and videos that play a significant role at WAVY 10.
The scripts and videos range in length from as little as 5 seconds, to up to 30 seconds, and are designed to engage the viewer in the story. I worked on topics such as the Olympics, tolls, toys, places of attraction and much more. My editing skills made these tasks straightforward and simple!
Now, I have been given the opportunity to write my own promo! So far, I have attended two morning meetings to get the scoop on what’s been happening in Hampton Roads. My promos dissect the new biopic of the illustrious Pharrell Williams and the new shelter for women subjected to domestic violence.
Lastly, I assisted Ezra and Michael with commercial productions for companies like Lines and Pella. I helped set up cameras, lighting, interactives and green screens, and I’m learning a new side of production that I haven’t experienced before. Being a film major, this opportunity has been incredibly enjoyable for me, and I look forward to seeing what else is in store!
