APPLIED

• How did the component help you understand the foundation of your topic better?  

• This component helped me better understand my topic by introducing me to different things. One of the things that I was introduced to was scheduling which there is an example of above. With this I was able to understand how they where able to run all the shows and have everything go up on time. Apart from scheduling you actually had to put the shows on a program which is called fork and that program allows you to view the shows on TV. Another thing I learned that helped me better understand my topic was pre editing. This is when you rough edit a show in order for it to fit into the time slots on the TV show schedule. When doing this you primary leave in just the main content and you take out what is not necessary. This component helped me better understand my topic in the sense that there is so much that goes on within TV production and that it is not just the filming.
