YOU Productions - Erie Neighborhood House - Youth Department

The YOU Productions interns will help develop and facilitate the small groups within the Visionaries apprenticeship throughout the summer. Prior to acceptance in the internship, applicants will need to demonstrate basic knowledge of still and video camera functions, shooting and interviewing techniques, Photoshop, Mac computers, and Final Cut X. They need to display excellent work habits consisting of timeliness, good attendance, strong initiative, ability to cooperate and communicate, and the ability to take direction and give direction. Interns support in leading small groups of new students in Visionaries from beginning to production. Utilizing their learned skills and experience they guide the new students through the more tedious aspects of each project allowing the lead instructor to give attention to each group on larger aspects of their production. The small groups they lead have 4-people each and one intern per group. The internship builds several employable skills within the interns including (but not limited to) leadership, teamwork, computer literacy, timeliness, verbal communication, feedback, ambition, and problem solving. In turn, these interns increase the learning of the Visionaries students and ultimately improve their final product.
