I really enjoyed Johns Seminar, A journalist from Tangata Pasifika From Tonga
Migrated to New Zealand with his family at the age of 9 the Tongan journalist, first gained experience
at Otahuhu College, where he attended school.
John had work experience at TVNZ and this is where he decided he was
interested in Television.
He graduated from A.U.T in 2010 from a course on Communications and Television degree
He has worked with music artists like J boog and Aradnah Patel, he has traveled extensively, but the stories he likes to cover the most are stories with meaning and in helping pacific Islanders to share their stories with the world.
We learnt from john how they search for stories , pitch a story , go out on a shoot and construct the shoot, warn the interviewee, and how they pre-script their stories, the stories and video work are edited and then await the producer to approve the footage, and then it appears on T.V .
We watched a clip on you-tube of John at the food festival in Auckland because he said those were the interviews he liked to do and that they were very entertaining. LOL! @ my terrible writing think I noted down all of the things that weren't important.
He later caught me running out across the car park not long after, because, I didn't stay till the end. "he said to me was I that bad"?, I felt so embarrassed and ashamed that my lame excuse really just sounded like a lie. lol ! "um no I had to leave my rides here". which actually was the truth. Although may of wasted your time telling me the important parts cause all I heard was food, punched by a bodyguard and your name. p.s sorry haha!
