Hard Drives will be provided for the time of the internship, solely to store footage & files pertaining to the film on, and will be returned to us at the end of the internship.
We will provide a license for Adobe Premiere Pro using Adobe Teams which will enable Intern to edit within the project file we are currently using and share changes digitally - no need to email or physically share project files or changes. This makes it easy for Intern to work on the editing tasks on their own time.
Location of internship:
Intern will complete tasks on their own time wherever they have access to a computer. Weekly meetings will take place at a coffee shop, campus lounge, or other neutral meeting space most convenient to Intern & Directors .
