Internship Day 1&2

Day 1:

My boss (let's call him Mr. M) and I discussed what I want to get out of this internship. I wasn't really sure what I wanted, so I made something up about learning what the business is really like.

For the next hour and a half we organized equipment. The equipment room/garage was freezing. I was also thirsty, but I was too afraid to ask for water so I just waited it out and took my pulse now and then.

Afterwards I went to a church to shoot a video where a guy's pants fall down during a job interview. Luckily no old ladies walked by when it was no-pants time. They would've had questions like, "What are you doing?" and "Have you met our security?"

I went home and watched Redlight King's "Old Man" music video 52 times.

Day 2:

Mr. M told me to "mess around" in the garage while he edited a video. So I went into the garage and touched some equipment. I wasn't actually paying attention when he told me how long I'd be "messing around" for. I thought I had to entertain myself for like 45 minutes, but it turned out to be 15.

Then we drove to a business meeting regarding the making of a video, but we first stopped for Starbucks. He asked if I wanted anything. I got nervous and said, "No, I don't drink coffee."

I've been offered free Starbucks twice in the last 6 days. Both times I got nervous and said No. Why do I get so nervous? I'm going to be the thinnest filmmaker in the business if I don't figure out how to enjoy myself while also being in "professional mode."

So the meeting went well. Mr. M asked me what I learned. I didn't really learn anything so I pulled something out of my butt about the format of their treatment.

Then I went home and watched Redlight King's "Old Man" music video 12 times. Lie. I didn't. I ate cereal and wrote this blog. And watched the video 2 times.
