Woah! it is our first day as trainees. We were introduced to the different staff of the CoreTV team production. Mr. Jed Pe Benito, one of the video and graphic editors of the said company, introduced us to his fellow employees. Our first task? We have edited the interview footage of Director Cedric, to the casts of the upcoming movie Temptation Island who were shooting at Paoay, Ilocos Norte. After that, Mr. Jhezel, one of the editors and director as well, asked me to edit the video footage of the Candon City Fiesta. Also, we were able to watch a shoot of their daily local tv news, Press Core.

Second Day! This day was tiring but contented for the experiences I gained. In the morning, I continued my work, editing the Candon City Fiesta TV Coverage. I felt bored, and so with my fellow trainees. The boredom disappeared when we got a news from Mr. Jhezel that we are going with them in a shoot of their local version of ABS-CBN News Channel’s StoryLine, “Biag Ko”. Some pictures of the shoot are displayed below..

Mr. Jhezel let us watched the TV Commercial he was producing. We were able to get some techniques on the software he is using which is the ADOBE After Effects. After two hours of making, it was already shown in the television. I got excited that someday, I could do my own produced tv commercial. The rest of the day, we just edit… and edit… and edit…. the TV Coverage of the Candon City Fiesta.

We have finalized the video coverage of Candon City Fiesta. Also, we went to the Press Core (CoreTV’s daily news program) studio to help something for the shooting. They let us watch their different episodes of their TV programs so that we could get ideas and to be inspired to do such great graphics and techniques. Thank you for the effort of Mr. Jed and Mr. Jhezel, both producers and graphic editors of the said company, that they did not treat us as different people.

The editors were very busy doing video presentations for the upcoming Kick Ass Awards 2011; the CoreTV’s annual awarding, to give appreciation to their very able and hardworking employees, to be held at Legacy, Vigan City. We just watched them for us to learn something. They could not give us the work since it is to be done professionally.
In the afternoon, my co-trainees and I was sent to the other room for a seminar of the professional digital camera owners. There we have learned a lot of doing shots. Mr. Rolly Magpano, a traveler, an artist adventurer, a professional photographer, an Asst. Manager and Art Director of GMA Network Broadcasting Corp. was the speaker for the said seminar. I just felt blessed and special that I have experienced to be there even though I am not into the field of photography. Except for liking to be an editor, I have come to realize after the event, that I want also to be a photographer.

In the afternoon, I looked for a work in the editing room but then, it seemed there's nothing to be done. Direk and Kuya Marky were then preparing at the studio for a shoot; a video presentation for the nominees and local artists of the CoreTV productions for the Kick Ass Awards 2011. I served as a "fogger" - taga-usok.
The shoot was great. After every shoot, we watch the taken videos. I had come to realized the cameraman was extremely great that his shots look professional and competitive with the cameramen of the national tv companies. Learning: I got socialized; the virtue of patience; inspired with the "job-well-done" of the director, cameraman and the artists.
