final week and conclusion

Week 9

I spent the last week finishing the staff portrait project and other pictures for the SLC promotional materials. I also made three HDR renderings of the boardroom for use at SLC.

Conclusions

When you first walk into the GCPS offices you realize that this is a big group with an extensive bureaucracy.  It is a branch of county government, a “not for profit” organization that is seen as succeeding or failing based on the service it provides.  The Broadcast group helps develop and promote educational services for all parts of the school system.  That makes its goals uniquely inclusive of the entire system as evidenced by the Emmy recognition given to “What is the school effect?” video.  That piece communicated how schools and system employees make a difference in the lives of students.  I met people from many different parts of GCPS that need to get a message publicized or a story told.  The B&DL staff always displayed a professional attitude by asking how can this story be made short, interesting, and attention-getting?  I recommend this office for future student interns because they can use all the skills taught in Commercial Photography at Gwinnett Tech.
