  2. Last friday we took a field trip to Bryant University to check out their Broadcast studio and stuff. We got to see their control room, editing room and studio. I thought the field trip was really cool. It was intresting to see where things are filmed and how they do the post production stuff.

  4. Prior to the trip to Bryant, I knew that it was a good place to study if you are interested in media. The trip was very fun and educational as well. I learned how much it takes to make just one show air. I was suprised to see all of the camaras and lights needed. It was also interesting to see how effort people put in to make the ones on camara look better. I want to know about how many people go to Bryant just for the sudies of media.

  5. I really enjoyed the tip to Bryant. It was very interesting and educational at the same time. I was amazed at the technology that they used and how much work it took to broadcast something. It made me realize how much practice it takes to broadcast something perfectly. There must be many people involved and a great deal of technology used. I knew that it was a lot of work, but I never imagined it would be so intense. I also didn't expect a college to have such an upgraded broadcast program. They have multiple cameras, telemprompters, sound boards, etc. I think it would be very cool to get involved in a career involving journalism and broadcast. After attending this field trip, it is definitely something that I will consider for my future.I also learned that you must have a great deal of dedication in order to be involved in such a program. Even if you're not scheduled to be working in the studio, editing room, or control room, many choose to go in and work anyways in order to better themselves and the success of their boradcasts.

  6. I thougth that the trip to bryant was very interstering, we got to see how they use the differnt camras and lights.Another thing that i liked about the trip was when we got to go to the control room, and use the sound board, it was cool to see how they could use the differnt sounds and have them fade in and out and also make the images appear and that kind of stuff.

  7. The trip to Journalism was amazing, it was so much fun and the program they offer for broadcast journalism is absolutely amazing. I want to know more about broadcast journalism now and more about bryant's program.

  8. I really liked our field trip to Bryant. It opened my eyes to the journalism courses outside of Lincoln High School. Their journalism course seemed really cool and interesting.

  9. I had never known before that Bryant was so involved in media studyies and what not. I had already wanted to go into that field before this trip. Maybe I'll consider that for college.

  10. When I first found out we were going to Bryant, I thought that it would be a great oppertunity to see their broadcast system and to learn how a broadcast system opperates. This was a really great experience because we got to go inside their opperating system where everything that is broadcasted is edited. Plus, we got to see the inside of their studio, where all the videos are shot. After going to Bryant for the day I realized what a good school it was for someone that loves Broadcast Journalism and so if i decide to go into that field, I will definatley consider going to Bryant.

  11. I agree with Jossalyn also enjoyed being able to see some of the campus. It was really nice. Their broadcast program was awesaome, it looked like a real news set.

  12. I felt the Bryant field trip was really cool, it was a great experience to go see what a professional broadcrast room is like. I thought it was amazing to see just how the acutal set looks like, and one corner of the room is perfect, while the rest is a mess.

    ReplyDelete
  13. I think that going to Bryant was pretty cool, and it helped us see what it was like behind the scenes of a news program. There was a lot of cool things that had to be done, and it was awesome seeing all the equipment they had to use. I do wonder how long it takes to learn how to use everything...I asked the lady there and she said she was a sophomore and still didn't know everything.

  14. I never knew that Bryant had anything in the journalism field. I figured that since its very well known for being a business school, Bryant wouldn't offer many classes outside of that field. I definitely think I might want to go into this field.

  15. I liked the Bryant field trip because we got to see where the Bryant students film their news and the sound effects that get added to it. The guy that showed us the room where they film explained when the lights were used and how powerful they are. He said that the lights are so hot that they need to keep the room on a temperature of 60 degrees so the people doing the news dont sweat. He also showed us how the cameras work and the effects that can be put on the person speaking to the camera. After we saw this room we were taken upstairs to see where the sound effects were used. This room was used to put pictures on the camera, music, sound effects, etc. I want to know how they edited the films if an error occured during the news presentation. I learned that there is a lot more hard work needed just to make one news show like when to use the lights or when to zoom in on someone when they are talking.

  16. The journalism field offered at Bryant seemed very good. It seemed as if it provided all of the tools to make a broadcast as good as possible. This trip opened my mind about journalism. This field trip was benifical. It was good to see what boradcast journalism is like as we grow up.

  17. While on the Bryant field trip, very often I asked myself if this is what I wanted to pursue. It seems like a wondeful career field to participate in, as our "tour guide" said that it was a growing field. Bryant has a wonderful studio and buildnig for students in journalism.

  18. I really want to go into this field when i am older. I wonder how long it would take to learn all of the editing stuff with what ever program they use.

  19. I really enjoyed our trip to Bryant college because it was really interesting to see where they film everything and how they control it all. We got to do hands on things with the equiptment to see how it actually feels to work with those things. I feel like we should've spent more time in both the control room and the film room because we were there for journalism and we should've spent a little more time learning about things that have to do with journalism.

  20. Im not that interested in this kind of the stuff but i thought that all the technology they had was pretty cool including all the cameras, lights, and sound effects.

    ReplyDelete
  21. I loved seeing the studio where they film shows and learning about all of the technology that is needed to produce them. I never really understood how much goes into broadcasting and it was really interesting to experience everything first hand.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I really enjoyed the trip to Bryant. But to be completly honest it was kind of boring. Although everything that they were using was interesting to learn about, the guy talking was really boring. I thought that the funnest thing about the media center was playing with the special effects.

  23. I wish that we got to see the students in action, actually broadcasting something. I knew a lot of work had to be put into broadcasting something, but I never imagined it would be that much.

    ReplyDelete
  24. The set was cool, and a learned some more about the lights behind the action on a broadcast. The broadcast studio was very like a stage, with the lights and set, only allowing the viewer to see what you want them to see.

    ReplyDelete
  25. i agree with Mckenzie about how Bryant is a good college to go to if you want to go into media because they offer a lot to you especially with things that have to do with media.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I agree with Kaylee it would have been nice to see the students using the broadcasting equiptment, just to see what it's really like.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I agree with Kaylee, It would have been awesome to see a broadcast live. I wonder how it feels to be sitting on the set, performing for the camera and seeing just a big mass of darkness and flashes of a camera lense.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I also agree with McKenzie, Bryant is a good college to look into, or go to, if you're interested in a field of journalism. They offer lot, especially things in the media area. They have a lot of newer technology, which will help you alot if you're majoring in it.

    ReplyDelete
  29. It would of been cool to see how its professionaly used...What we saw was mostly just how it works in general.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I wish we could of seen somebody do a news show so we could see all the different things that had to be done just for one show.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I also liked the tour guide because he explained about the different parts of the stuido really well. He talked about what each thing meant. For example, he said the reason for the light on the subject was to eliminate shadows. I also never knew how many affects can be added to the broadcast to make it better, for example, sound effects.

    ReplyDelete
  32. The trip to Bryant made me want to go into broadcast journalism even more then before, im definetly going to be considering Bryant when i choose a college.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I also agree with Kaylee on how we should've seen the students in action, so it would make it seem more real and see how everything works when the students actually do things.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Also, a very cool part about the trip was seeing the technology that goes into making the set production. The lights on the ceiling going up to 1000 watts was simply amazing, and how they could heat up to 300 degrees fascinated me. I also think that the campus is amazing and a very good place to go if you are interested in journalism.

  35. The expierience at Bryant college was great. We really got to see how much it takes just to produce a show for the school. I was also suprised to see the differencnt between our journalism program and thiers. Their Broadcasting program was obviously a lot more high tect. But it was kinda cool to expierience what it could be like to do broadcast in college.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Like many others, I agree that the lights were amzing. I found it hard to believe that they make such bright lights that could give you a severe burn the second you touch it. The way that the lights were positioned perfectly to enhance certain fetaures of a person was very interesting.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I also agree with Nick. It would have been even more interesting to see a live broadcast. Tis would give us a better idea of how everything works and how chaotic it is when they're actually filming a show. This way, we could see all the technology and aspects of a broadcast put into action.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Ithink that Bryant is an okay college for media. I bet that there are better ones.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I liked the Bryant field trip very much. I thought it was very cool to have such an oppertunity, to see how a journlaism program works on a university level. I also agree with Armaan, I was constanly thinking about a career that i would like to pursue, involving the media, because it was very intreaasting and definatley a memorable field trip.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Bryant does seem good though. There seem like a lot of oppurtunities for you, but i would of liked it if they talked about the kind of classes they offer. That would of been very helpful. But overall the field trip did give me an inside on what it will be like, especially since id like to be a journalist.

    ReplyDelete
  41. My favorite part of going to Byrant was being on the stage and having the lights reflect on you and getting telepromter. I thought it was really interesting how much you have to do when you sit there and make a show. Another thing I thought that was really cool was all the sound affects. There really were so many sound affects from crying babies to crashing trucks.

    ReplyDelete
  42. I agree with Kaylee, I feel it would have been cool to see all the students in action.

    ReplyDelete
  43. I feel bryant would a great place to go if I ever wanted to get into the career of broadcast journalism.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I agree with Hayley...They have a great program.

    ReplyDelete
  45. I wish we got to see the students work on a project, like their news show thing. That wouldve been really cool to see.

    ReplyDelete
  46. It was really cool to see how people on tv read their lines while it looks liek they are just looking in the camera. It was so weird being on the set that just has a black back drop but on TV, there is an intricate background.

    ReplyDelete
  47. I agree with Jordan. I would be interested on going on this field trip again. As Jordan, I would also like to find out how long it would take to be trained in using all of the equiptment.

    ReplyDelete
  48. I would of liked to see the broadcast journalism class do a pretend news show just see how they would do in front of all the cameras and lights.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Even though, the trip was somewhat boring. It made me think about pursuing a career in the journalism department. All of the high tech stuff got me excited to take broadcast journalism next year.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Bryant would be a great college to look into. The campus is very picturesque and the media program there seems very good.

    ReplyDelete
  51. My favorite part about this experience was how we got to stand on the stage and see what it's like to have to read the teleprompter with all of the lights shining on you. It really showed me what it feels like to be on camera.

    ReplyDelete
  52. As Jordan said, it would be very cool to see the students in action. It would be interesting to see all of the effects in action so the broadcast could be aired.

    ReplyDelete
  53. I agree with Hayley, that it would have been greater if we could see how the proffesionals do it if we were able to see the students in action. The control room was probably my favorite room out of the field trip. It was a great atmosphere and I learned a lot.

    ReplyDelete
  54. I thought the field trip was very insightful for those who are interested in persuing a career in the journalism field. The trip exposed a more advanced way of learning about journalism in an environment that exceeds the one at a high school. The studio definitely puts a more advanced and interesting light on the field, and it's very cool to see what you can learn from if you keep going with the career.

    ReplyDelete
  55. I also agree with Jordan, i think that we should go onto the feild trip again but now actually be able to play around with all the equipment and maybe even film something there.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Before the trip I knew what kinds of activities come with being a journalist or having a career in the media, but after visiting Bryan I thought it was way different than actually hearing about it. It was amazing to see the studio and it was col how high tech everything was. I always had an idea of what kinds of equipment were needed in this field, but it was so cool to learn about how they work and what they're used for (like the lights). I'd like to know a little more about how everything works and how long the editing process takes, but other than that i thought the field trip was very insightful and worth taking.

    ReplyDelete
  57. The sound effects machine was also very fun to play with. It's so cool to think about how many sounds you can make with just a press of a button. It shows how advanced technology has come in terms of special effects.

    ReplyDelete
  58. My favorite part was standing on stage like Emily. It was interesting to see the bright lights and the teleprompter. It gave a real sense of what the subjects "go through." I am not saying that what they go through is tough, it just is cool to see how they do their job.

    ReplyDelete
  59. I agree with Emma, the trip the Bryant was very insightful, especially for those interested in the media or journalism field.

    ReplyDelete
  60. I agree with Daphne and Jordan who think that we should go on the field trip again. This time it would be better if we could stay longer and have more time to really try out the equipment.

    ReplyDelete
  61. I agree with Nick, I would've liked to see the actual Bryant students make a broadcast. I think that, although we wouldn't have gotten to play around in the studio, it would've been really cool to watch what was happening and what actually goes into making a broadcast.

    ReplyDelete
  62. My favorite part, was probably a tie between our break, and our bus ride. I enjoyed seeing college people, and on the bus, I enjoyed having Jordan sing to me.

    ReplyDelete
  63. I also agree with what Hayley said about how it was interesteing to stand on stage and see a teleprompter. It kind of gives you an idea of how much really goes into making a broadcast, even though what we see on tv isn't even half of what goes on. It seems so easy and so professional on the television, with the talent looking beautiful and perfect, even though its actually a lot of hard work to make the talen look as good as they do through makeup and light usage. To see not only the journalism aspect of Bryant but also the campus was really insightful as well, and I liked the fact that we got to explore a more presonal and first hand side of being a student at Bryant.

    ReplyDelete
  64. I think it would be very cool to actually film something in a studio like that. It would be fun and it would give us a better taste of the world of broadcasting. It is crazy to see all of the sound afftects and all of the advance technology that can make a broadcast better.

    ReplyDelete
  65. I think the field trip was very interesting. We learned how the people on TV read their lines, how the lights have to be, and much more. I did not realize how much work is put in to film a news broadcast.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Bryant seems like a good college to look into if you're looking into the journalism or media spectrum, mainly because their technolgy is more modern.

    ReplyDelete
  67. I think we should of learned a little more on the writing aside from all the video-tech stuff too.

    ReplyDelete
  68. I agree with Mckenzie, it would be very cool to film something in a studio like the one in Bryant. Also it is crazy to see all the sound affects and all the technology that can make a broadcast better.

    ReplyDelete
  69. I agree with Kaylee, Bryant does seem like a great college for someone that wants to major in journalism, because of their technology.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Bryant is very up to date with their technology, and i agree with those who said it would be a good school to attend because of that.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Like everyone, I also thought that the sound effect maching was very cool. It was very interesting and it must make easy broadcasting even more simple. My favoirte part was sitting in the seats up on the platform. It was very cool to experience how the people on the show feel when they're in the middle of a broadcast.
