Goals for my project:
Schedule four visits at WBZ
Watch mentor do a weather broadcast
Learn about meteorology
Spend time in front of the green screen
Practice making weather graphics
Make a final weather broadcast
Project timeline:
1. Finding a mentor
What may seem like a fairly easy task, was actually quite challenging to find a willing mentor in such an established field.
2. Gaining information on meteorology
This was done by looking on websites my mentor uses and online youtube videos to get a sense of what the career might be like.
3. Visiting WBZ news station
A very cool experience that I was fortunate enough to visit 4 times throughout the year to work with my mentor.
4. Watching my mentor do live broadcasts
A process much different than what it looks like on tv was quite exciting to be right in front of the action and be able to take photos of it.
5. Making short weather hits
A nerve-wracking experience that got more comfortable over time was definitely one of the coolest things I did for my project.
6. Making short and long weather broadcasts
As a way to show my progress and development, a short and long broadcast was a way to physically show my progress in a tangible way.
