Video intern

As a member of the BruinLife Video Staff, you will work behind the camera to produce engaging video content for the overall BruinLife brand. Video Staff members will collaborate with BruinLife’s podcast hosts, writers, photographers and other staff members to bring their ideas and stories to life through video.

Staff members will focus on the technical and creative aspects of video production, including operating cameras and audio equipment, setting up and recording video shoots, and editing footage into polished content for BruinLife’s streaming services and social media platforms.

Video Staff should be comfortable working collaboratively with others who may provide the concept or direction for a project. Staff members will help determine how those ideas can best be translated into compelling video content while maintaining strong visual, audio and production quality.

Responsibilities

• Film and produce video content for BruinLife’s streaming services, social media platforms and other digital projects.

• Operate and manage video production equipment, including cameras, microphones, lighting and other recording equipment.

• Set up and assist with recording video podcasts, interviews, social media content and other BruinLife productions.

• Edit video and audio using multimedia editing software to create polished final products.

• Work collaboratively with Video Podcast hosts and other BruinLife sections to translate concepts, scripts and story ideas into finished video content.

• Contribute creative ideas related to filming, editing, visual storytelling and overall video production.

• Table/flyer to promote yearbook portraits and the yearbook.

• Complete a minimum of 3 office hours: All BruinLife staff members must fulfill this requirement. Office hours may be completed at any time during the week at your discretion. The purpose of these office hours are to work on BruinLife yearbook assignments in-office, but we also encourage staffers to utilize the office to study, rest, and socialize with other BruinLife members.

• Attend all-staff meetings and section meetings.

• Complete at least 1 one-on-one with your section editor per quarter.
