My Internship site is located at San Diego First Church at Point Loma Nazerene University which is located about three miles from school by Sunset Cliffs.
The Department i am working in is in the Youth Ministry Department with my mentor Jared Callahan, where i am doing a variety of things such as producing short films, creating Advertisements and newsletters, helping host and run events, and help run youth group on Wednesday nights.
My main project was to create a short film with my mentor who is an independent filmmaker as well as a youth pastor. Some other side projects include working with the youth ministries coordinator, assisting her with hosting events.
My learning objective is to oversee the duties of a director or producer, and observe the different things that come along with making films. Also, to observe what it takes to run a youth group. With this, i am using my graphic design skills, my knowledge of the work that i am doing, and my willingness to learn and excell. After one week, i have learned so much about the effort it takes to run a youth program. It is a very valuable learning experience. My schedule varies depending on the day. On some days, i work from 11 to five, or from 3 to 9. Working in film is very hard because the hours are tough. My mentor has shared stories about crazy hours he has worked on films. It makes me a little scared to choose that as a career path.
The skills i need for this internship are graphic design knowledge (programs, creativity, adaptability), and overall adaptability to my work. I think my biggest skill i need in order to work with my mentor Jared, is my dedication to working. As long as i am dedicated to working, and trying my hardest, he is happy with my work. I am very lucky because i am learning so much from him and from my other mentors. This is giving me such exciting insight into my future plans.
Weekly summary:
My first week in five words:
Exciting, Busy, Revealing, Sleepless, Fun
This week was really fun because i got to learn so much about TWO jobs. My mentor is both an independent filmmaker, but also a youth pastor. Going into internship, i knew i would get a feel for both, but i never would have guessed how much work i would be doing! The cool thing is that i have loved every minute of it. I have known him and been a part of his youth group since junior high school which is cool because we already had a bond. He was out of town for a lot of this week, but i got the opportunity to work with his partner Julie Johnson. She has tought me so much! I worked with her to coordinate two events. I helped her organize and run Youth Group on tuesday night, a Parents Meeting thursday night, and a S.A.L.T (Student Action Leadership Team) retreat which i am also a part of. I am getting a Behind-The-Scenes look into what it takes to run a weekly youth group.
My favorite part of this week was either making the advertisement for a Haiti Relief Fund, or going to Point Loma High School and being interviewed with my mentor about our short film, and other films he has done. They were both very inspirational and i loved being a part of both. But i must say that i am most proud of my work on my poster!
