Third Week Internship Assignment

Describe one significant activity or project that you have completed or are working on currently.

The main project that i'm working on right now it's making a video about the elections. Only the teens decisions, it was hard because i had to shoot some interviews of students, i was thinking of shooting them at school but with these internships i have no time, its really hard, and my mates won't let me interview them :(. (still)

In these "elections" i will be looking at the people's decision and their ethnical background, since there are 2 important candidates which are Hillary and Barack, i will be able to see if their choice goes with their background or, maybe even gender.

i have done a lot of paperwork. I feel that this internship really is helping me. I am taking a lot of advantages of it, the people i'm currently working with are really friendly and i feel really comfortable around them. It's more than an internship, its a union.

So this is the biggest and first project i've got at my intership, i also watched a lot of videos that taught me a lot about political, social, and even musical issues; i watched a movie called "Afro-Punk" i just loved it, it talks about black people that are actually into the punk style, how they are discriminated, and the struggles they pass through being in a "mostly white genre".

Watching these documentals has inspired me into learning more about the Vietnam war, and what happened there... i have already studied most of WWII even before my internship started, i learned about Hitler, his actions and what's left of him as a legacy (Skinheads, Neo-Nazis, and many other groups that think white race it's the superior race).

Second Week Assignment

What did you do during your second week?

I watched very interesting documentals, and i was taught how to use new machines such as the cd printer, the cd copy machine and how to make previews, it is really interesting and it's something i didn't know how to do before.

How was it different than the first week?

It was full of new things to do, i kind of feel bad because i have a project to do that i cant finish because nobody would let meinterview them :(

What is something that you really like about the internship?

I like the people i work with, they explain me the stuff and i understand most of it, so far i haven't made a mistake! :D lol at least thats what i think.

What is something you dislike about the internship?

The only "problem" would be the distance between school to the internship and from the internship back home, but i think that every good thing comes with a sacrifice :)

Who else's blog have your read and commented on?

Kate, Pablo, Katrina, Marina, Giselle, and Columba's
