Dalit Freedom Network | Video Internship

***Urgent Need***

Some demonstrated video editing and production experience is required.

Skills:
• Thorough knowledge of video editing software, such as Final Cut Pro.
• The ability to tell a compelling story with visual images.
• Experience editing raw footage.
• Experiencing filming footage: events, speakers on stage, scripted interviews, etc.
• The ability to create momentum and energy with even a short video.
• Ability to post video on our websites.
• Experience creating videos with the intent to market a product.
• Creativity and ingenuity (our budget is limited!)
• The ability to organize ideas (both visual and verbal) in a rational, simple way.

Attitude:
• A willingness to adopt DFN’s approach to video usage.
• A willingness to develop a keen awareness of the DFN brand and to further that brand in a professional way.
• A willingness to learn: representing an NGO and a global cause through video is very different than producing video for school, for-profit companies or just for fun.
• A willingness to use DFN’s language and style when creating a video.
• An eagerness to work with your supervisor to tweak what you produce until it meets expectations of professionalism.
• A “can-do” attitude when you’re asked tackle a project that may not seem feasible at first.

You will have the opportunity to do some or all of the following jobs:
• Take complete inventory of existing footage.
• Convert current footage to a digital format.
• Catalog/archive current footage.
• Work with the Child Sponsorship Team to develop brief, compelling videos for use in a variety of settings (church, school, small groups, businesses, etc.)
• Work with the Student Advocacy Team to create educational and inspirational videos for use in classrooms and school assemblies for elementary, middle, high school and college audiences.
• Work with the Communication Team to develop a long-term video strategy.
• Work with the Communication Team to create and add video content to www.dalitnetwork.org and www.dalitchild.com.

Location: U.S. Headquarters in Greenwood Village, Colorado

Initial project would be approximately 5 short videos based on extensive footage, and would have strict deadlines

Duration: minimum-one semester - maximum-one year.
