My postgraduate program in Digital Storytelling had an internship requirement (150 hours/4 weeks). I did my internship with Flanders Today, the leading English-language online news source for the Flemish region of Belgium.
My internship responsibilities were to create videos that complimented news articles. I was responsible for the complete production of the videos, including traveling with reporters, conducting interviews, filming, conceptualizing, creating, and editing. The editor-in-chief provided guidance on story and text.
For each video I created two versions, one formatted for Facebook feeds and for embedding in the online article, and one formatted for Instagram feeds.
*Content update, 2021: The Flemish government ceased funding Flanders Today at the end of 2020, so some of the links posted below no longer work as originally posted. Still, I have chosen to keep them here for historical accuracy. I have added archived copies of all the videos using YouTube so that my work can still be viewed.
Here are the final videos:
