Internship Student

Urimuqi TV Station, China
Urimuqi, XinJiang, China
06.2019 - 08.2019

It was a two-month summer internship. At first, I was a camera assistant, and I was responsible for helping the main cameraman with various recordings, such as large stage productions. I was usually responsible for helping to move the dolly, calibrate the white balance for each camera position, and carrying a lot of miscellaneous stuff. After a month, I joined the interview team, where in addition to helping the cameraman, I also helped the lighting guy set up the lighting and sometimes I needed to help with the voice recording. In the last half month of my internship, our TV station needed to record a very important large-scale outdoor stage play, "Thousand-year's promise to Kunlun". I was given a separate location to shoot a panoramic shot from a high spot, which I did on my own.

  • Communicated effectively with faculty and staff and accepted critiques and suggestions for areas of improvement.
  • Reported back to instructor to receive day-to-day tasks and responsibilities.
