Hello and Welcome!

Hello, hello, hello! My name is Robyn Arvay, and I'm and SCETV intern for 2015. I from Columbia, South Carolina, and I've lived here my entire life. Well, up until recently. I guess I now spend the majority of the year in Atlanta, where I attend school. In August, I'll be a junior at Emory's Goizueta Business school, concentrating in both Marketing and Film and Media Management.

I really enjoy the Film and Media Management concentration at Emory. It's an intersection between my two interests: entertainment and business. However, I've never had a lot of exposure to the entertainment industry, outside of live theater. So that's why I'm so excited to be interning here at ETV.  It's the constant learning and discovery of the "ins and outs" of broadcasting that makes this internship so ... important for me. It's a really in-depth experience of how any kind of content goes from an idea to a program on television.

So I'm in my fourth week of my internship. And in the past four weeks, I've learned so much about ETV and broadcasting in general, just from observing and listening. As for my more "hands on" work, I've been working on the beginning steps of creating a South Carolina Hall of Fame video. Specifically, for Darla Moore (who is a really cool person and a personal inspiration of mine you should read about her) So I've been working on the beginning steps of creating that video: researching, finding documents and videos of Ms. Moore, trying to contact someone I can interview (crossing fingers that we can interview Moore herself). During the process, I've begun learning Avid and the editing process (something I've never attempted before). And though it's only been 4 weeks since I started, I can't count the number of things I've learned (guess I should have started documenting my experiences earlier. whoops).

Of course I've done so much in the past four weeks, I can't document it all in one post, so I'll probably write again soon, detailing more of experiences thus far.

--Thanks,
Robyn
