Cornwall Film Festival/Mor Media Charity 2023 Internship Role Descriptions
We are seeking hard-working and enthusiastic individuals who would like an internship with a thriving film and media organisation. We are a media charity that holds an annual film festival, live events, yearly film screenings and programming, runs industry training, masterclasses and talks, education programmes and community projects.
Our internship programme is designed to give you real-life experience across a range of industry roles including production; events management; social media; marketing; design; admin and more! We will give you an opportunity to work across all our organisational strands - festival, industry and events, community, education, and charity to gain valuable experience in varied roles within the creative industry. You may work as a production assistant on one of our live events or online masterclasses; a researcher or content creator for our social media; a designer of digital assets for one of our programmes or an event planner for one of our live events. We are looking for adaptable and enthusiastic people who are ready for a challenge and want to try their hand at lots of different roles within the media.
Interns will be supported through their time at Mor Media via regular meetings and monitoring via their activity log sheet and development logs. This will also feed into the completion of an OCN Award which will see them complete two units, one will be linked to the creative skills needed to complete work required by the role, and one will be a reflective evaluation on the work they have done during their internship. The requirements of these units will lead to a clear structure that the interns must follow in order to complete the OCN units. While there will be weekly team meetings online and opportunities to come into the office there will also be 3 key points of contact during their internship where their progress will be reviewed;
- An initial skills assessment meeting will ascertain their current skills, what is needed by the role and how the OCN unit that will be completed over the course of the internship can help develop their creative skills.
- Mid-point discussion. A review of progress in the role and the work for the OCN unit. A discussion of work on the Activity log and review written up on Development log.
iii. Final feedback and completion of Development log so the reflective evaluation can be written up for the OCN unit – Learning from Work Placement.
