ILSE: Double R Productions became my home for the past four months. This internship provides the intern with valuable information needed to enter the workplace. After two weeks I was no longer considered an intern but a production assistant, and I participated in all of the aspects of production. For several shoots a week, I took care of the organizational part of production: developing a shoot sheet, researching Google Maps and collecting release forms. During the shoot, I am in charge of applying make-up before people are on camera and taking still pictures of the production for Double R. On an ordinary day the interns have several roles to fulfill: writing press releases and blogs, thinking about new sales strategies and design graphics for marketing. Since I am working at a video production firm, interns have to create their own videos to be able to take on more clients in the near future. We are in a learning position. Thanks to Paul, one of the editors, I was educated in the world of editing. Sometimes technology just took over: frames dropped, sound disappeared and footage played hide-and-seek. Paul always came to the rescue! The actual hands-on shooting and editing has been the most satisfying. After spending years studying the theoretical part, it is a dream-come-true to be creative. This past semester I learned so so much. I could never guess that I would be able to make a video on my own and design a holiday card. Thank you Rosemary and Double R for being the best brand in the “internship” business!
Happy Holidays from the
Double R Fall 2011 Intern Team!
