Before this internship, I wasn’t really familiar with that many video or picture editing websites. After working on some projects at Media Components and using different editing websites, my favorite video editing website would be Animoto and my favorite picture editing website would be Canva.

4.Where are you going for summer vacations?
For summer vacation I am going down to Margate, New Jersey for a week as well as Deep Creek Lake, Maryland! I also like to make day trips to Ocean City, New Jersey, which is my favorite beach to go to.

5.What do you think is essential for a good work environment?
For a good work environment I think that you have to get along with the people you work because if you don’t, you won’t look forward to coming to work everyday which will probably lead to less quality work.

6.What are your plans for after this internship?
After this internship I am planning on taking what I learn and applying it to a full time job wherever that is.

7.What are you hoping to learn this summer at Media Components?
At Media Components I am hoping to learn more about video editing, blogging, tips for posting on social media, and analytics.

Megan Hughes

1.Whats your top two favorite social media websites to use?
My favorite social media site is Instagram. I enjoy expressing myself and showing my friends pictures of memorable moments I’ve experienced.
I also like using Facebook. This site not only allows you to upload numerous photos at once, but also makes it easy to reconnect or communicate with anyone you would like.

2.What are your hobbies outside of work?
I enjoy going for runs outside and going to the gym.

3.Whats your favorite video or picture editing website?
This internship introduced me to Animoto, which is an online video maker. This allows you to be creative by choosing your own captions, photos, and background music.

4.Where are you going for summer vacations?
I often visit my grandparents’ beach house in Sea Isle City, New Jersey. The beach has always been my happy place!

5.What do you think is essential for a good work environment?
Communication is key to getting work done. Also, respecting your coworkers so everyone feels comfortable to express their opinions.

6.What are your plans for after this internship?
In the Fall I will be going back to school at Penn State University Park to complete my senior year.

7.What are you hoping to learn this summer at Media Components?
I hope to become an expert on advertising through social media and learn tips to use for each separate site, such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram (which I have already learned several). I also hope to become more comfortable in front of the camera speaking about a variety of topics.
