Qualifications:
Interns
should understand and be comfortable with the nature of MEF's work providing
hard-hitting, progressive media criticism and scholarship in an accessible
format and language through video. They should also be comfortable working
in an atmosphere where media images representing extreme violence and sexual
imagery are sometimes part of the picture. Interns should also be computer
savvy in basic programs and Internet savvy, since more and more research
requires on-line searching. Previous video production experience or course
work is not absolutely required, but it can be useful in getting the most
out of the internship.
For
work in the marketing aspects, some experience or course work in that area,
and Internet savvy is useful. A successful intern is a self-starter who
takes the internship as seriously as they would any new job and tackles
each assignment with initiative, imagination, energy, and determination.
