Night Two... Filming with Sammi Jo

I arrived at the station to learn a little about editing, before heading out with Sammi Jo and her camera. We covered the Ardrey Kell win against Marvin Ridge. The game was actually held on Marvin Ridge territory which was exciting-- their fans really dig in to school spirit and supported their team the entire game, despite the loss.

Upon arriving to Marvin Ridge, I took off to the press box to get the team rosters and have the coaches announce to the fans that WBTV would be airing the live footage of the game at 11:35 on channel three. Then, I met Sammi Jo on the field to begin shadowing her as we shot the cheerleaders, fans, mascots and team entrances. Once the game started, our feet never stopped moving. We traveled from one end of the end zone to another, in order to catch footage of the game with the ball coming toward us. When opportunity presented itself, we interviewed an Ardrey Kell coach and filmed things like fan signs and spirit flags. However, duty at the station called and we left at halftime to return to the station for more score reporting.

Similar to my first evening, score reporting involved collecting the scores and inputting them into the WBTV broadcast prior to 11:35 when it aired. However, the show got off to a late start tonight so we had a little bit longer than normal. The only new task was to delete four games out of the broadcast because we did not have scores reported for them. Those four games included Union Academy vs. Christ School, R.S. Central vs. East Henderson, Buford vs. Indian Land, and Westminster Catawba vs. Lake Norman Home School.

Tonight's winning teams: A.L. Brown, Central Pageland, Ashbrook, Berry Academy, South Pointe, Boiling Springs, Bunker Hill, Burns, Butler, Central Cabarrus, Chesterfield, Concord, Cox Mill, Crest, West Rowan, East Lincoln, Weddington, Forestview, Fort Mill, Bandys, Freedom, Cuthbertson, Hough, Hunter Huss, Independence, Lake Norman, Lancaster, Richmond Senior, Chester, Maiden, Mallard Creek, Ardrey Kell, McDowell, Hickory, Draughn, North Gaston, Lexington, Carson, Vance, East Burke, Porter Ridge, Charlotte Catholic, Monroe, Dorman, Rocky River, Salisbury, Statesville, Mooresville, South Point, South Stanly, Hibriten, Watauga, South Caldwell, West Mecklenburg, West Lincoln, Albemarle, Great Falls, West Iredell, First Assembly, Charlotte Latin, Hammond School, Hickory Grove, Davidson Day, SouthLake Christian, Providence Day, and Lake Norman Charter.

Don't forget to tweet scores @FFNintern so that I can report them for the show. Also, go to WBTV to VOTE FOR YOUR TEAM so that your team can become #1 on the Speedee Oil Top 10 list... Richmond Senior won for week one!
