This report presents an overview of my internship experience as an Assistant Producer at Paigham TV, a notable Islamic educational television network that broadcasts in Urdu and Pashto. Paigham TV was launched in 2011 with the assistance of Imam Kaaba Sheikh Abdul Rahman Al Sudais with the prime objective of conveying the message of Islam to people of the world with bias for any particular religion. Its programming includes religious education and Issues related to the union of Muslims; The channel is available in more than sixty-five countries and recently introduced Paigham TV UK. During my internship I took part in organization of elements involved in the production stage. Some of the foremost duties I performed in the position were handling cameras during live and recorded transmission and making sure programs had good video quality. I also performed outlines of panel handling, which involved supervising transition and feeds for continuous broadcasting. Setting up of lights was another area of my activity during the filming; I was changing the studio and external lighting to the best conditions possible. Beside these achievement, I was responsible for the voice overs in several programs that involved audio modulation as well as script analyzing and reading. I also did video editing where I compiled a video, fix it with the relevant software, include necessary graphics and then make sure that the final video was up to the standards of the channel. I consider that through this internship I had collected full knowledge of television production practices within the religious broadcasting environment. I managed to my technical skills in operating cameras, arranging the lights, controlling the panels, as well as my voice over, and editing videos.
