| With my SPORTS DESK Family, March 6, 2017 |
When I thought everything was ready and that our line-up for the day will be too strong to change...something came up, there was an extended breaking news the scheduled 7pm Sports Desk airing got pre-empted. The program resorted to taping "Joe Devance," our guest for tonight.
It's not the idea that I don't bother at all, but this has prevented me from doing my additional video requirements for UAAP right away.
Taping means, the program has extended and recently I was asked to be inside the studio to time as in literally count the total video that will be use for the PBA support.
Well, it has like 2minutes the most and I am speaking for the entire program that videos should not exceed to that.
Earlier, I am facing a close to airing time-coding for the video supports needed for our UAAP that night.
OMG, I need to complete everything at least 15 minutes before the program begins. Because, I need that remaining minutes to preview everything that was in the rundown.
And that means, aside from looking if the support video are all correct, its a must to check if all courtesy was proper, (or else my attention will be called and that certain "penalty," will be given).
And that made me realized that my job as an Associate Producer is not "EASY!"
NEW SCHED
Almost a month ago, I have an entirely different working schedule...as in I was scheduled to work 8:00 in the morning 'til 5:00 in the afternoon. When suddenly, an announcement was made certain changes that started in the 13th of February...I will come to work at 2:00 in the afternoon and will end my journey an hour before the next day.
As in literally it was a "MAJOR," change. I remember, I was adjusting with the new schedule for 3 "LONG," weeks.
I believe it has to do with the so-called "SEPANX," or "Separation Anxiety," they're calling.
Honestly speaking, I somehow missed my former work schedule, the program I was handling, and the people I am closely working with.
But since this is my faith, I have to go with the flow.
CHALLENGES
Since another genre of news was given to me...I must admit I've been to many challenges and up to now still on that stage.
But just a trivia, before (I just couldn't recall the exact year), I also handled the program for 3 months.
I guess its an advantage to at least have a little idea about the program. But really, now I see that what I have known from the past may not be enough because really there are so much things to learn.
The endorsements given to me by the previous AP was very overwhelming.
From websites we normally get the most help from video and photo supports to lists of scheduled plays daily.
During the first week I had a hard time dealing with PBA's script that was normally ready for editing 10-15minutes before the airing of the show. And that the feeding of the materials also came in also that time. And this took me days to accept the fact that it was really like that.
My 2nd week, finally knowing how to set NBA highlights from their website, game schedules same goes to PBA and UAAP as well.
On the third week, learning how to deal with getting or using PBA connect on Twitter for players game highlights too.
And closer to my 1st month, just learned about volleyball jargons like "LIBERO," "MIDDLE," and "ASSIST."
To some it may appear so funny..."How come I do not know all of this?" but that's the fact I cannot hide and I don't mind at all.
The most important thing is "YOU ARE ALWAYS READY TO LEARN AND ACCEPT CHANGES."
Because that thing is really inevitable.
