For my first week of work experience i worked in the TV production company AGTEL. They produce programmes such as the farming programme Ear to The Ground . For the first day it was the usual - helping copy CDs and filing things. But on the second day I went shooting with a crew .
It was an early start - 7a.m. We were making a story on the illegal growth of cannabis in Ireland. We had to get some simple footage of power lines and a power plant to use as back round footage. We met up with one of the presenters to do the interview. We then drove over to Galway to interview a woman about who is legally responsible when someone is growing cannabis in a landlord's property. We then went to interview a landlord who had one of his building raided by guards because tenants were growing marijuana.
The next day we went to Garda HQ to meet with the head of the press office. He showed us pictures taken by guards of marijuana being grown and booby traps found inside the houses such as metal spikes in a hole in the floor. We then a fuller interview with him.
The next day I then helped with lighting in another interview in the Phoenix Park about the privatisation of coillte forests. I got to see an interview be edited the next day.
