Today I had the opportunity of having my video reel critiqued by a professional in the news industry. One of my professors decided to contact several people he knows currently in the news industry and set up several FaceTime slots for us to talk with the professionals about our reel.
I had the pleasure of speaking to Mandy Mitchell. She is a former University of Florida grad and has spent a number of years in the news industry. She originally started out as a sports reporter but has more recently switched over to cover and report on the news. She currently works for WRAL, which is located in Raleigh, North Carolina.
During my FaceTime session with her, we talked about the quality of my reel, the different pieces of work I showcase in my reel, and how I can improve it before I graduate.
Here is my current newsreel. Take a look at it and let me know what you think!
Although I only spoke to Mandy for roughly 10-15 minutes, I learned a lot of from our talk session. If you ever have a chance to talk with someone who is in the industry you are in or are trying to pursue, I highly suggest talking with them. Whether they be a random person or someone you know, having someone else take a look at the work you do can really help you improve as a professional and as a person.
