My Internship at the CrossmediaLab

Last year, february to july 2008, I did an internship at public broadcasting TV-station BNN, which focuses it's programming on young people, typically aged between 15 and 30 years old . The department I did my internship for is called 101TV, which is a digital television channel (accessible via a decoder / settop box), that also offers it's content on-demand online via www.101.tv. Typical for 101TV is the concept of 'bit-sized television' which means that every program the channel broadcasts doesn't take longer than 5 minutes, like the channel is already zapping for you. 101TV makes these 5-minute max items in-house, and that's what I did during my internship (producing, directing, shooting and editing video-items). The items subjects vary greatly, as long as it's interesting television for the target audience, which is slightly younger than that of BNN. After my internship I continued working for 101TV on a freelance basis.
