Creative Problem: 

As part of a my internship programme at Our Grandfather Story, I both a camera operator and assistant editor for this project.

 

Solution: 

As a camera operator on set, I was one of four camera operators, who had to learn to quickly adapt and react to changes in the story. On top of that, I had to learn how to co-ordinate with the other camera operators to ensure what we shot was useful.

 

As an assistant editor, under the guidance of the head editor, I was tasked with transcribing and prepping huge amounts of interview footage as well as b-rolls. I was also given the opportunity to come up with a first cut of the video based on the shoot script. 

 

After the video was out, I was also tasked with helping to boos the engagement of the video by targeting musical interests groups on Facebook.​​
