AFPVideo Production Intern
Jan. 2016 - Feb. 2016Johannesburg Area, South AfricaAs a video production intern, I assisted in producing content which reflected South African news and current affairs for the company's online video forum. Specifically, I interpreted briefs, shot on various locations both inside and outside the city of Johannesburg, edited content and proposed stories for the JHB news-team. The daily task-sheet included anything from press-conferences, one-to-one interviews, features and civic protests. Importantly, I assisted the AFP head of video for the Southern African region in producing and choosing content for the region. Specifically, this entailed coordinating freelancers from Botswana, Mozambique, Angola and Zimbabwe, editing video submissions, creating briefs and scripts and vetting content both before and during production. The position included some multi-tasking aspects as I was required once or twice to take pictures of unfolding events as well as shoot video.
