One of the most rewarding parts of my internship is completing many projects that I can use for the future and just be happy with. I loved being able to watch back the videos I made throughout the summer and see my portfolio build up. It was really a fun journey to see all the different recipes Christina had in store and slowly build my style into the videos. At first, I tried to stick to the template very literally, but by now I\u2019m able to add my own ideas to the videos (and Christina has loved the input!).<\/p>\n

It was also rewarding to see myself get so comfortable with Premiere Pro. I\u2019ve been editing videos since high school, but I never tried Premiere (it\u2019s daunting and expensive!). Having skills in the industry standard is crucial in giving me the confidence and comfortability in being able to say I can work in the program most professionals would expect.<\/p>\n

The most challenging part of this internship would be the eventual repetitiveness of it. I followed the same format for every video and created 3-4 videos a week. Because of this challenge, I was able to find new and creative aspects to add to each project, but in the end, I had a template to follow. I\u2019m sure there are many people in the creative industry that are able to use their skills to create similar projects repeatedly, so I enjoyed the chance to incorporate some new and different things into my internship.<\/p>\n

Overall, I had a great time working for Christina for my internship with It Is A Keeper. It was something different for me and I really got in the groove at times. The one big lesson I learned this summer is that I love to socialize and collaborate with my work. I love to hear input from those around me and be inspired by what others in my field are doing. With that said, I would love to do editing work as a side job or personal gig, and to create my own projects!<\/p>\n

Here are a couple of my favorite videos I\u2019ve made this summer:<\/p>\n
