Week4: Responsibilities and Projects

Working with this educational institution has been a remarkable experience. Even though there is not a design concentration, it is called ‘video production’ in our communication design department. It has fallen into these three main categories: motion design, graphic design, and advertising. It is to communicate information and ideas using visual elements, such as videos, photographs, and motion graphics.

I’ve been working on the first video project for two weeks. And I am working with Adobe Premiere Pro. The first part of this project is to watch and comprehend all the materials. The second part is to cut redundant clips and leave the useful clips. The third part is to find the right background music and special sound effects if needed. The last step of this production phase is to review and rearrange all useful clips.

What I’ve learned so far from this internship is how to make a video that delivers messages in a way that is visually appealing and also efficient. Nowadays, people are relevantly less attentive to longer/lengthy videos and more prompt to short videos. There are many platforms in the market right now, such as reels on Instagram, shorts on YouTube, TikTok, and many others that are shifting the market. How to make a relevantly longer video that attracts the current environment becomes a big challenge for the designers and the design industry. And I am very excited to learn more details from my supervisor after reviewing the first version of my project.

Since I mostly work from home, there is no set schedule for me unless there is a meeting with the team. My supervisor will notify me in advance if there’s a future meeting and what is due until then. Therefore, I will make sure I have the work ready for the meeting.
