Review of the whole event to start of the overall tour was interesting overall all I would have to complain about is the amount of time we had in the building at the end we were getting rushed a little bit but overall i enjoyed the trip and i got more of an insight in what goes on in a television studio such as how many cameras there actual are like my second and fifth picture one was the camera that goes to a screen not a green screen but a larger size of the grey screen and the camera was green its hard to explain but its quite different from a green screen like you can change the colour of the camera in the second picture you can see it is green but you can change it to other colour such as blue and other. the fifth picture was the lighting equipment in the news room and you can see how much more there are than in the traffic/ interview room going further you can see the news room pictures such as the news room table which actual from the view i took it you cant see the secret computer within the glass where the presenter can control the teleprompter to move and other things in that room we also met the presenter colin briggs and i tell you he can talk a lot but probably that was the most interesting thing about the day for me other than that the other thing were at the end the group put on a little show were three members of the group one played a news presenter which read from the TelePrompTer one was the sports presenter and the last was the weather presenter who had to improvise what they said it was very amusing. aslo we went into the radio room where we got to meet another person who i cant remember the name of but he told us he got into the business by being a comedian. the archive room was were all the old footage is like all the important stuff mainly video of stories that are probably going to be used again. going back to explain the interview/ traffic room what i mean by that is its a pretty small room where the person that does the traffic films doing the traffic and the grey screen is wehre the traffic is shown so if she is talking about a specific highway the camera will place that image where its moving but that is just a loop of the cars moving on the road and you can see the last image is where the girl goes on the radio because the tour guide explained this to us before they placed that radio equipment in the room the presenter had to run across the studio to be able to report the things on the radio so what they did was place all the equipment in the same room so it helps the reporter and thats what that image is.
The fifth image is about 80 cameras/lighting equipment which generate so much heat that they cant even use them all at the same time other than that i cant explain anymore.
Final evaluation - to talk about the full trip as i said before i complained about the amount of time we got there even the tour guide told us that they were rushing us but overall i enjoyed it because it was a day away and i got to see what real work look like and how people actual work in a media environment but seeing all of this hasn't discouraged me from pursuing a media career other than the point of the time i cant real say any other bad points on the trip but as i again said before my favourite part was meeting the presenter because he had some good stories to tell and they were very interesting what i liked about him that i would like to be able to one day is that he could talk in front of complete strangers with me i am to shy so i would like be able to do that one day whiteout being to shy.
