It has been a while since I’ve done an update on my OU Nightly experience. The past few weeks however, there has not been much job rotation for me. I have continued to be the floor manager except for one day I was assigned as the update desk/tease editor. As the tease editor, I learned how to take videos and edit them as a tease for an upcoming story – it is important that it is interesting enough to keep viewers wanting to watch the show during breaks. With being the tease editor, you also work the update desk camera and set it all up for the show. The update desk takes place outside of Studio A in room 1000 and has its own camera and audio. I had to get the camera in place and work it, get the right lighting, turn the TV to the correct channel, and help set up the audio. After being a floor manager for multiple weeks now, it has become much easier and less stressful. I have definitely got the hang of all the duties that need to be done before the show and have even been able to teach other people. I really enjoy being the floor manager because it allows me to see many different aspects of the show and how it runs, which I believe is very important. From things happening before the show starts, having to be flexible and fix problems as the show is going, to putting everything back when the show is over, I have loved absorbing so much valuable information about broadcast. As an aspiring broadcast journalist, it has also been beneficial to watch the current anchors, and have picked up on their skills. I am just so blessed I have the opportunity to be apart of such an amazing program. Go Nightlyyy ayyyyy!
