Media Education Foundation Umass Amherst; Amherst, MA

Job Role:
  • Filming
  • Editing
  • Transferring
  • Compressing and Uploading lectures to course website
Nothing changed through the duration of my internship, I was told everything expected of me beforehand so there were no surprises.

My placement was excellent and I would strongly recommend this placement to others. My supervisor, Sut Jhally is basically a learning tree. The filming and editing also meant that I got to learn the material that he teaches, since you are there recording his lectures. In addition, the editing process is a very good skill to have and is extremely useful in today's world.

I would not change anything about my experience, and I would advise to not work for someone that does not have a structured plan for the internship. Planning is everything and helps the relationship and experience immensely.
