PROJECT OVERVIEW
The TV station where you'll be based has a program schedule
comprised of short, punchy health-related documentaries and quick tips,
magazine-style entertainment segments - everything from fashion to DIY -
and easy-listening music videos.
The station was the first
station to ban junk food and soft drink advertising to make people more
aware about what they eat and to promote a healthy lifestyle.
The station is
a free channel that is shown in medical waiting areas, which aims to
engage, educate and entertain patients before they see a medical
professional. The station broadcasts via the internet to over 200
medical centers across the country and they use the latest ground
breaking technology video on demand to broadcast their programs.
WHAT YOU'LL GAIN FROM DOING THIS PROJECT:

An exciting, never-to-be-forgotten adventure into
New Zealand and you'll learn about the Maori culture that makes
this country so fascinating! -
New skills, more confidence, a greater understanding
of a different culture, invaluable personal and professional
development.
-
An entry on your CV or résumé that will put you head
and shoulders above most others in the job market
-
And best of all ... an unforgettable experience!
WORK CONTENT:
You'll work as a film/video editor at the
TV station assisting the other editors with various films for upcoming broadcasts. You'll
be part of a small team at the TV station
and your role as an assistant editor will include being responsible
for assembling the final product as a sequence
consisting of shots from the raw camera footage, dialogue, sound effects and
graphics. This is a key role in the post-production process and your skill
determines the quality and delivery of the final product. You will be
working closely with the director to meet his or her requirements.
On this placement
your
work process will involve:
-
receiving a brief, and maybe an
outline of footage and/or a shot list, or screenplay;
-
assembling all raw footage, with
the camera shots either recorded or manually transferred onto
high-format video tape in preparation for inputting into the
computer;
-
inputting uncut rushes and sound,
and synchronizing and storing them into files on the computer;
-
digitally cutting the files to
determine the sequence of the film and determining what is usable;
-
creating a 'rough cut' of the
program/film and determining the exact cutting for the next and
final stages;
-
re-ordering and tweaking the
content to ensure the logical sequencing and smooth running of the
film/video.
Additional work
activities may include:
-
overseeing the quality and progress
of audio and vision engineering and editing;
-
consulting with the director,
producer and/or client throughout the post-production process;
-
familiarizing oneself with the
style of specific directors;
-
experimenting with styles and
techniques;
-
selecting the most effective shot
of a scene in terms of drama, story relevance or continuity;
REQUIREMENTS: To join this project you have to be
aged 20 or over and have completed or be in the process of doing a degree
within film or something similar. This placement is available for a minimum

Front view of the Hostel
Dining area of the Hostel |
You'll live in a centrally located hostel that is friendly and relaxing,
making it ideal for long-term stays. You will be sharing a room with other
volunteers. There is a communal kitchen and storage area for cooking meals
and plenty of space to relax.
Entertainment at your accommodation includes cheap internet access, TV and
free pool table. You are literally a stroll from the Sky Tower, harbor and
waterfront. Accommodation is very central and close to the main train
station and shopping district. Buses are also only a few minutes away to
take you to parts of Auckland and New Zealand or to the many other ‘things
to do’!
The city centre boasts great shopping, restaurants and pubs or head over to
the viaduct for more pubs, nightclubs and multicultural cuisine. You'll get
to work via bus, which is close to your accommodation.
Maori settlement in Auckland was at least 800 years ago where by different
tribes built there fortifications on the various volcanoes in Auckland. When
the British arrived in 1840 they claimed Auckland as the capital city of New
Zealand until Wellington became the capital 25 years later.The city is
modern and vibrant - a fun and friendly with beautiful surrounding islands
and harbour.
Some of its more famous attractions include the sky tower, Rangitoto island,
the harbor, theHauraki gulf islands and the many extinct volcanoes that are
in Auckland which provide great views of the city.
Auckland has restaurants to suit all tastes - the most popular cuisine is
New Zealand lamb which can be ordered at many restaurants around the city
and is well worth it.
For meals in local restaurants, a trip to Auckland's inner city centre is
well worth the effort - it bustles with activity and offers a range of
choices of restaurants. |
