When visiting KQED, the whole worksite was very quiet and tranquil, and nothing what I had expected. However the places we were able to see, barely anyone was working. I still expected a hectic and stressful and loud environment where the employees enjoyed working. I can honestly say that the worksite was very interesting, but on that day it was very peaceful. I hoped to see a broadcast being in progress, to be aired in television. However I guess they were not doing any at the time. But I liked how we were in the middle of a live radio broadcast.
My honest opinion, I can work at a place like KQED, when it is a busy day, because I like the noisy, stressful environment. I like to be in a challenge, because that enables me to show off my skills in a professional matter. In the career visit, especially at KQED, I have learned about Suspension of Disbelief, and that people donate huge amounts of money to keep KQED running. And to work at KQED, staying in school is very important, along with knowing math will get you for in the industry.
What had surprised me when going to KQED, is suspension of disbelief, because I never knew how people watching television, get really into the show. And if one mistake happens and it is visible, they are out of the show, and back into reality. Some interesting subjects that I learned with my experience are the lighting, echoless radio rooms, and double-layered rooms. Everything I saw and absorbed is still interesting to me. I never knew that echoless rooms, existed, and if I did, I would have probably not noticed. Or how lighting effects can make you look good or bad. And lastly double-layered walls keep outside noise from coming in.
To help me prepare for this career, I should really focus on math, as they hold told us. However I think English is very important, because scripts should always be corrected. I kind of hoped to be able go on air, on a radio broadcast, because it would have been a experience never to forget. However that was not an opinion, because it would be difficult to schedule a last minute broadcast. However I was fun visiting a real television production, and public radio studio.
