Video Producer Intern
Jun 2026 - Aug 2026
- Under supervision, produced social-first video from opinion interviews, checked the news judgement and factual claims with the commissioning editor, and kept the speaker’s qualification when shortening a quote.
- Under supervision, planned filming with columnists using a short shot list, microphone checks and eyeline references; reviewed the first take for framing, intelligibility and usable edit points.
- Under supervision, built After Effects title and caption templates for vertical videos; checked safe areas on Instagram and TikTok previews and corrected line breaks before publication.
- Under supervision, used analytics dashboards to compare opening-hook retention, completion and repeat viewing; recorded the topic, length and publication window so the next edit was based on comparable videos.
- Under supervision, edited vertical videos in Adobe Premiere Pro with safe-area captions and clean dialogue; checked quotes against the full interview, cleared footage rights, and compared opening-hook retention in analytics dashboards.
- Under supervision, owned a vertical-video edit using Adobe Premiere Pro and analytics dashboards, increased completion from 42% to 55% in matched social-audience tests while retaining the speaker’s qualification.
