Sample Response: Associate

During my time as a Multimedia Producer at Channel 7, storyboarding and scripting were fundamental parts of my role. A notable project I worked on was a video report titled "The Future of Urban Farming".

The process started by brainstorming the narrative structure, then scripting the dialogue and voice-over content. I utilized Final Draft for the scripting process, focusing on creating engaging, concise, and informative dialogue. And for the storyboard, I used Adobe Storyboard. This allowed us to plan visually, deciding on the composition, transitions, and timing for each shot, and how these will be interwoven to tell the compelling story we aimed for.

I worked closely with the director, cinematographer, and the post-production team to ensure that the storyboard and script accurately reflected the final product. The video report ended up receiving innovative video journalism and boosted our channel's documentary segment viewership by 20%.
