Transforming Middlemarch Intern Review

HTML and CSS coding to create a fully functioning website to the specifications of the team. Overall administrative and self-managing responsibility to respond to amendments and progression reliably and punctually within the project. Photo, video, and audio editing of hundreds of metadata, including transcribing and formatting written notes from screenplays and interviews.

Developed photo, video, and audio editing skills tremendously. Developed my attention to detail through the clear specifications i've been given at numerous points in the internship. Developed my html and css coding and used what I had learnt in other university projects. Learnt how to use Adobe software for more than just video editing, and learnt how to understand a specification of a project.

I was given responsibility and trust in creating the metadata, correctly labelling them and formatting them in a way that would not require much peer-reviewing. Attention to detail was crucial in making sure everything was spelt correctly, links were working properly and the webpages all sat as they should. Towards the end of the project, many small details were up to me to adjust and finalise.

My supervisor was also my university lecturer, and although we never spoke about work outside of class, it was a great help knowing he was a familiar face. Reaching out for help when I didn't know how to approach a project or understand a job was easy as everyone in the team was as eager to help as to be educated and we all learnt from each other.

We rarely saw each other, but were all in the understanding that lots was happening behind the scenes. We had weekly online meetings and emailed a lot daily to keep each other updated. Everyone was incredibly helpful and eager to help each other out if needed.

I very thoroughly enjoyed it. It helped me develop my skills and gave me an insight into an exciting project within the industry that I otherwise had no idea existed. Having my name amongst all the professionals that helped in the creation of the project was a true honour. Incredibly grateful and so so fun!

The employability and careers team is definitely one of the strong points of the university as a whole. Make use of it as much as you can!
