Our producing interns work closely with our full time producing team to learn the ins and outs of what it takes to carry a production form pre to post. Learn the basics and see seasoned professionals on set.
Key skills you'll learn during the internship include:
- Project Planning and Management: Learn to develop comprehensive production plans, including conceptualization, scheduling, budgeting, and resource allocation. You'll gain experience in managing projects from inception to completion, ensuring they stay on track and within budget.
- Scriptwriting and Storyboarding: Master the art of crafting compelling narratives through scriptwriting and storyboarding. You'll learn how to translate ideas into cohesive storylines, plan shot sequences, and visualize scenes before filming begins.
- Casting and Talent Management: Gain insight into the casting process and learn how to select suitable talent for various roles. You'll also develop skills in directing and managing talent on set, ensuring they deliver performances that align with the project's vision.
- Production Coordination: Learn to coordinate all aspects of production, including location scouting, equipment rentals, and crew scheduling. You'll develop organizational skills to ensure smooth operations on set and troubleshoot any issues that may arise.
- Directing and Cinematography: Gain practical experience in directing talent and capturing compelling visuals. You'll learn cinematography techniques, camera operation, and shot composition to effectively convey the story and evoke emotions in your audience.
- Post-Production Oversight: Understand the post-production process and its role in shaping the final product. You'll collaborate with editors and other post-production professionals to ensure the vision established during filming is realized in the editing room.
- Client Communication and Collaboration: Develop strong communication skills to effectively liaise with clients and ensure their needs are met throughout the production process. You'll learn to incorporate client feedback into the project while maintaining the integrity of the creative vision.
- Creative Problem-Solving: Encounter challenges during production and develop creative solutions to overcome them. Whether it's adapting to changing circumstances on set or finding innovative ways to achieve desired shots, you'll refine your problem-solving skills in a real-world setting.
Don’t just take it from us. Here is what one of our past interns, Alise, had to say! “My favorite part about the internship was having the opportunity to explore the different departments to see where I best fit. I find the value in knowing a little bit about every department to make me a well-rounded worker, while still being able to hone in on my specific craft. I love that BW Productions gave me that! I was able to meet very talented full time employees and freelancers that I now get to call my friends and colleagues.”
