TV Production 21-22

 News Broadcast 4/20/2022     -  After watching the news today, I have created a new proposition for CVTV.     Before coming to CV high school, there was no CVTV. Rather, the whole school would watch CNN10 in their homerooms, which broadcasted a short, 10-minute snippet of up-to-date news every day. This would sum up a large amount of information about current, ongoing things that I would have never looked into myself. Nowadays, I rarely get to hear the news and only learn about things out of coincidence from scrolling through the media, or through friends. Though I wouldn't say that I am oblivious as to what's going on in the world right now, I would say that I would know a lot more if there were some sort of real-world news system incorporated into CVTV.      Rather than only focusing on school-related events, I think that there should be some occasions in which CVTV incorporates an up-to-date short of current news. Students rarely take time in their day to watch the news, wh

  - Sound Design - "Dynamic Range and Metering" What is dynamic range?   It is the manner of difference between the softest and loudest sounds of an audio signal, including their decimals and hold. How does it affect sound recording?   Dynamic range can be altered in order to amplify/reduce the volume of loud and quiet sounds. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Why is metering important?   It shows the exact moment-to-moment volume of an instrument and grants more accuracy toward the level of sound quality. It can save you from not knowing whether your sound is too low or too high. How can it help us with our sound recording?   It can be helpful for figuring out the level of intensity in the sound that listeners perceive with their ears. By tinkering with the meter, the right volume can be found that matches your ears. What happens when the meter runs over level?   When the meter runs over lev

  Some successes I had were getting all the clips in order and finding the right transitions. A difficulty I had was the sound since some of my clips were too quiet or had one person speaking at a different volume. I did not know how to use the shotgun microphone until now, which would have saved me some time. For next time I would definitely try to focus on getting better audio and try using the shotgun microphone.
