Journal 1: For my Senior Exploration, I chose to work at Lincoln Financial Field, the home of the Philadelphia Eagles. For the exploration, I will be learning about video production and how videos are made and produced. My mentor is Chris Johnson, who is the Manager of Broadcast Production for the Philadelphia Eagles. One the first day I met with Chris, I brought my schedule and we worked out when I would work for the next month. So far, I have not run into any problems with scheduling. I have worked five days and did some homework which totaled out to be 41 hours so far. I feel I am starting to have a pretty good grasp of what goes into video production and I am enjoying it very much. Chris and I talked about how you have to work your way up from the bottom if I were to pursue a career in video production. I have had a lot of fun working with Chris and his staff. I have also learned a lot about the process of producing videos for Eagles Television Network (ETN). I am very excited to have had this opportunity to work with the ETN and I am very excited to continue the time I have left with them. Journal 2: This week has been very interesting because I have been logging footage of an old Eagles Hall of Famer named Pete Pihos who played in the 1940s and 1950s. ETN is doing a special tribute to Pihos because he is very ill and does not remember much about the days when he played. This week I have also helped Chris by walking around the stadium and taking pictures of Eagles Go Green signs so they can be replaced and updated before the season starts. I was able to walk around the stadium by myself and explore. This was definitely one of my favorite experiences so far. Up to this point in my exploration, I have worked 60 hours. Journal 3: This last week I worked three days, but they were my favorite three days of the exploration. I was asked to check all of the speakers in the stadium to make sure that they worked properly and if they did not, they would need to be replaced. I had the enormous task of walking around the entire stadium while listening to music that was played on the speakers. On my last day I helped scan pictures onto a computer so that editors could easily access them when making a video. Overall, I loved working at Lincoln Financial Field for Eagles Television Network. Up to this point I have completed 81 hours.
