Week 26

 I went to the Channel 10 News Station on a field trip this week, and it was amazing. It was amazing to see how a news station works and to learn about its history. We got to visit the studio where they tape the news and weather and the offices where they cut the news, create the reporters, create the graphics and animations, and monitor the whole broadcast. The experience revealed to me the amount of work that goes into airing the news. I understood about commercials and the importance of capturing viewers' attention and converting them, something we were taught in AICE Media Studies. At the end of the journey, I learned much more about the importance of knowing your audience, as well as the various career opportunities that editing and producing can open up in the media industry.
