Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Working as a development intern within film and TV, I'm exposed to the television development process consisting of reading book and script submissions, providing coverage, book and script synopsizing, proofing scripts, writing beat sheets, collating film and TV round-ups, creating talent lists, taking on a runner role and attending internal meetings.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given differing amount of responsibility depending on what company I was interning at and my responsibility developed throughout my time at each place. I also had the chance to lead on projects in the ERG groups I am part of.
