Sophie Hall About sophie...

When I was younger, movies and books were my oasis from the noise of the outside world. I became fascinated with how people brought their stories to life. I still get a joyful feeling now as I’ve gotten older and gained more skills, I can create more complex work. The more complex the work, the more people I want to share it with.

The main program I use for video editing is Adobe Premiere Pro. The way I make editing decisions at work is different from the ones I make at school. At work I am given a video and a script, and I focus on making it cohesive and appealing. When I am the one shooting and editing the video I have more creative freedom to plan it out more. My goal is still to make it look cohesive, but I have the freedom to add more transitional shots instead of just transitions.

I currently work at a local TV station, and I really enjoy it. I’ve learned a lot about editing, especially about how to do it quickly. The best example of this was the derecho on May 12th, 2022, when we had breaking news for 5 hours. I learned the most when we lost power. I was not an important part in getting us back on-air, but I helped the newsroom to edit the video coming in from interviews and the reporters in the field. I did multiple cut downs and a full story package for a well-known reporter. That show was nominated and won an Emmy for our coverage of the storm.
