Amherst Media; Amherst, MA

Job Responsibilities:

• Operating studio cameras during shoots


• Studio control room, camera switching, audio controls


• Editing footage


• Front desk reception, answering phones

There were minor changes while I was at my placement. I began doing more studio work but later transitioned into more editing. Also, I became involved in an intern produced show.

I would rate this experience as average.

I would recommend this company because it is local and offers work study pay. Also, it is a fun environment and will inform participants about the surrounding Amherst community.

If I were to change to any aspect of this placement, I would ask for more complex and challenging tasks, more structured activities and also more work with close supervision by the staff.

Advice I would give other students, would be to become assertive and ask for work to make it clear that you want to become more involved.
