Audio, Video, and Sound Engineering Technicians

Everyday was different at Bravo as a Production and Development Intern. Sometimes I would have to cover my bosses desk and be the assistant to producers and the head of development, which included making their schedules and answering phones. Other times I had to cut clips that my bosses asked me ...

Being a position in Atlanta, the first thing you want is to have a place to have a good Skype/online interview. No distracting/personalized backgrounds, so a clean, blank environment so that the conversation can focus on you and the role, and not the room itself. Other then that, just keep in min...

1) Review your resume - highlight aspects of yourself that showcase you are adaptable, thrive in fast paced environments, show leadership, and are capable of (this will sound cheesy) anything/everything.2) Be honest. You'll probably be asked about your knowledge of the news, what shows you are wa...

Each morning when I arrived at the office I would be assigned a desk for the day. The desks corresponded to different daily video products, so there was one for Africa, Asia, the Americas, and world news. Once I was assigned a desk I would research headlines for that region using a database of ne...

First you should research the company and what they do. Be aware of who owns YES, what content they put on air, and a brief overview of their history. In terms of the role, you should express generally why you are interested. You need to come in showing that you are genuinely passionate about pro...

Everyone has a certain supervisor who will assign them work. Your work depends on the nature of your internship. I helped produce one of their shows so my work focused mainly on that, whether it was pre-production work like set design and writing, production work and shooting, or post-production ...

Research BIG online to read about their programs and listen to their videos. They are recently pivoting more into VR so if you have an interest in that, it is good to talk about. They will understand if you don't know about every single program they do. People there are friendly and will politely...

In preparation for a production internship at Retrofit, one should be familiar with screenplay structure and learn to analyze scripts in a timely manner. It is also helpful to be familiar with Retrofit's body of work, so that you better understand their content and strategies.

As a physical production intern at Focus Features you won’t have much ownership over your work. It’s a Film Studio and you are working on and reading scripts that are owned by the studio and all of the information is “classified”. You don’t really get to take anything you work on home or use it f...

Most of the job requires assisting the editors with editing video projects. You won't be touching music videos, but the promotion videos or digital exclusive videos of the artists, albums or record labels. This can range from Charlie Puth to the Hamilton cast! You will also get the opportunity to...

There’s a great work life balance as an production assistant intern. I had the opportunity to work singularly on the morning show and record promos after the show was over. My whole day was free for class or other internships when the morning show was over. And weekends aren’t required, but I tho...

A day in the life of a production assistant intern at iHeartmedia is crazy! But a good kind of crazy. You wake up about 5AM in the morning and rush to the station to start prepping for the morning radio talk shows. They go live at 6AM. And you may have spent your previous night prepping to help...

This is a contract position, so it's not like a 9-5 or even like most projects. If you are working as a camera operator, you will show up at the call time. Typically report to the Tech director. You'll get your credentials. Camera ops usually must be on camera for Dress rehearsal. After rehearsal...

Watch Amy Cuddy's Ted Talk on Power Posses. Yes. Really. It works.

The interview wasn't too complicated. Make sure you bring your resume, dress appropriately (business casual), and practice the behavioral questions. When I was interviewed they didn't ask a lot about my experiences with film (because my major isn't film). You just need to be very willing to do wh...

It starts very EARLY (3am was my earliest call) and it ends about 8-12 hours later. We arrive on location and start setting up equipment long before the event we are shooting. We set up camera's, run cables, and do anything else that needs to be done. During the shoot (usually a parade, or event ...

The normal formalities of preparation apply to an interview at Disney as they do anywhere else. Though, it is important to remember that this is a company that prides itself on its long standing content and its intimate relationship with its viewers and consumers. It’s good to come in prepared to...

A major in Film and TV gets you familiar with the lingo, the relvent networks and the general industry. Those are important things to have a base understanding of as they directly affect any project that you are working on in the entertainment landcape.

Do not expect a detailed/clear cut picture of what you'll do day to day. Depending on what department you work for (for that specific day) will dictate your schedule.For the most part - the mornings are fairly similar for all interns - prepare the office for the larger body of people --> Set up p...

Your job as a PA is entirely dependent upon the production, but the goal is the same: to help wherever you can to ensure that production runs as smoothly as possible. As an intern at Late Night and The Tonight Show, my job was to assist the PAs with any tasks -- large or small. This can range fro...

Working as a production assistant, you work more for the production than the actual studio. All of the training I had happened on set while I was working. An assistant director gave me a quick overview on who was who on set and what I would be responsible for. I was then paired with a senior prod...
