WPBT2's Pulse Presents: Haiti, A Community Conversation (1/20/2010)
An intern’s view behind the scenes:
I had my first live production experience on WPBT2’s Pulse, a TV series dedicated to Caribbean current events. As an intern I was elated to get a behind the scenes view of a production. I arrived at the studio an hour before the production started and waited eagerly to assist with the production. Just as I expected, everyone was busy, making sure everything was in place before broadcasting live over the air.
I had the pleasure of meeting the host and also the producer of the show. As an intern, I wasn’t quite sure what my role was that night, so I stood back and waited for further instructions. About twenty minutes passed until I had my first task. I was asked to wash the coffee mugs that were to be placed on the set for the guest and the host. So I made my way to the sink and got to work. I understand that washing a couple of mugs might not seem like a big deal but I took this task seriously. These weren’t just ordinary mugs to me; these were mugs that were going to be seen by many people through a live broadcast all over the country. I washed and shined the mugs thoroughly and placed them on the set. Its official, I’m finally responsible for something showed on television, even though they were only a couple of coffee mugs.
Not long after I completed my first task, I eagerly accepted another. This time I was assigned to answer the phone calls of viewers hoping to share their stories and opinions of the show’s topic live over the air. Shortly after the show aired the phones started to ring. At first I answered questions from callers about donations and I gave them information on various charities. Soon after, I accepted call after call and listened to the stories the viewers had to tell. Then I transferred calls to the producer so the stories may be told live over the air. So I guess you could say people voices were heard on television because of me. Just like the coffee mugs, I have yet another television accomplishment.
Although I played a minor role behind the scenes, well way behind the scenes, I had a fantastic experience. I readily await my next challenge behind the scenes.
