Today me and Sean had our first day in Yle Satakunta, that's the local station here in Pori, it's right around the corner from our hostel, which is handy. The office was great, when we first arrived we were met by Miika, who gave us a tour of the place, the office has a radio studio which runs the local radio station every day until six, when the national station takes over.
There were 4 rooms specifically for editing, the meeting room is a chilled out space with bean bags and swing chairs, though there is a more formal meeting room too. The main space is 3 desk clumps, Miika told us that it used to be cubicles, but that they took them down and communication and productivity is much better. We were then introduced to Karri, he was set the task of coordinating us on our work experience, our first task was to use a camera, Karri gave us a Panasonic DVCProHD P2 with the purpose of recording him interviewing us, so I held the camera for Sean's and he held it for mine, the interviews were just about us and what brought us to Finland, and what we were going to do while at Yle. We shot some footage for cut aways around the office, the camera was brand new to me, but quite simple, by default they use a lot of auto settings. As I got more comfortable with the camera I turned off the auto settings and tried out the features of the camera. We then took all the footage and cut together a video that was just over a minute of the most interesting things we said spliced with the cutaways from around the office. We were then thought Yle's Process for mixing down videos and mixed it down. They put it up on their Facebook, it had 400 views in a few minutes which was a bit of fun.
