The Jenna Show
By Jenna Walker
Growing up, I was always making videos. I used to force my younger brother to record me on our family video camera and called it “The Jenna Show.” I would make up segments to entertain my imaginary audience. That little girl had no idea that those silly videos would spark the passion she would soon have for production. When I got older, I made music videos to my favorite songs. I taught myself how to edit on iMovie by mimicking videos that I watched on YouTube. All of this was purely just for fun and was never taken seriously. I remember feeling a rush of excitement when watching my own videos back but never knowing what to do with this newfound love for creating videos.
That feeling of excitement only grew as I got older. The behind the scenes of movies and television became something I was extremely inspired by. I was obsessed with how ideas come to life on a screen. When starting to think about school, my mindset was always to pick a major and career where I will always love what I’m doing. The passion can never stop. I took a leap and ended up as a Media Studies and Production major at Temple University. Currently in my third year, I have learned so much about different aspects of production and gotten amazing hands-on experience through organizations on my campus.
My goal has always been to work on movies. I want to be able to commit myself to a story and work hard to make it come to life on the screen. I want to make people feel as inspired as I do about production. In the meantime, I plan to take advantage of any opportunity that comes my way. Interning at JTWO will challenge me in ways I have never been and I am excited for the ride. The little girl who once hosted “The Jenna Show” would be so proud. This will be the best season yet.
