Today we had our second ARMA video conference to discuss what point we are at with our research and development of the stories we want for our news network, as well as to discuss the actual creation of the network itself.
A lot of the things we talked about were just to confirm some details (such as the branding we want our network to have) as well as to clear up some confusion about what certain jobs people had. For example, I was under the impression that my job was to be the actual news anchor reporting from a studio, when in fact our Producer Roxanne had listed me as a reporter for the U2 album story, as I seemed to be very interested in the story.
This made perfect sense, as I do have a personal interest in technology stories, and personally I do not think I have the attitude or look that would allow me to be a news anchor. I believe my skill set gears me more towards that of a field reporter, and so I am still very happy with the position I have been given.
Something that was quite briefly mentioned in the conference which I am taking very seriously is the way the reporters (including myself) look and are dressed- what their style is. Obviously I have quite long, messy hair at the moment, which I intend to get cut and styled somewhat before I actually appear on camera. I also gave the way I dress some deep thought.
The words "Smart Casual" were used to describe the way the rest of the ARMA guys wanted the reporters and anchor to dress, and so I decided to do a quick google search to find out exactly what this means. I know what smart casual means, but if I have an image to work off, I cam prepare myself and gather the correct clothing for the shoot.
