Its 6:30 am and am in town ‘geez’ so we meet up and off we go, and am like so Nicole delegate the duties and she’s like no your shiro for the day… haha oh dear so the duties are out. Joe and Nicole are on the Camera, Pauline is on the still photos and I get to do the interviews.
We pass the security check and we are now trying to find a location where we can set up. There is so much wind up there and it’s hard to find a nice place where we can set up but finally we get a place and set up. Joe and Nicole are setting up and off we go with Pauline our separate ways to look for interviewees, we weren’t able to get as many interviewees since most of the exhibitors were just employee’s and not the actually owners of the company but at the end of the day we manage to grab a few SMEs.
It’s my first time on this new duty at work but am not scared, actually am very confident and I feel like I have been doing it for ages. Back at school on different projects I used to like interviews more and especially the vox pox interviews. Am loving every minute of it and actually I will be shiro for quite a long time now. I love camera but not as much as interviews I mean I love talking to people more and Joe keeps on telling me that I have a lot of questions… Joe its part of a good quality of an interviewer.
Its lunch time, so we pack up and head downstairs for lunch. Everyone is enjoying lunch I can see and Joe who claims to be very poor in eating fish get some lessons from Nicole who is from the lake and as he picks out clean the bones you can tell he is a good student. We are eating at the same time discussing how the shoot went; Pauline looks happy and am glad she is. Its good working together with this team, there is group photo and we call it a day.
I don’t know about you, but as for me I love what I do and I love the media industry. Sometimes I look back and wonder… I don’t think I would have done it better in another industry. My heart is where I am now and this is just the beginning.
