Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role as Video Intern was very flexible.
By being an editor you need to create projects and timelines for internal, social media, and website assets. Find licensed music and colour grade your project.
As a Video Producer your duties do vary every day. Some examples are researching photographers, contributing to our internal directory, sorting contracts, looking for national and international locations, preparing decks, call sheets for shoots, or even attending shoots.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
At the beginning of the placement you start with simple tasks that help you settle in. But when you feel confident enough, you can start asking for more exciting tasks which involve much more responsibility most of the time. I ended up working in campaigns for which my work made an impact in creative decisions, which was my goal for the placement.

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
By being a Video Intern I've learnt loads of new skills. Being in a real work environment has been very helpful on a professional basis to know what is expected from me at work, but as well to know to manage my workload. The importance of mental health at work, of being passionate about what you do, and to work in a safe environment.
