What better way to start than by diving straight into work?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s exactly how my exciting internship experience began! Our first assignment was to join the Martin Luther King Jr. Parade and record video content for Stetson’s social media. <\/strong>Our team leader, Rodrigo, gave us a brief introduction to his creative process for crafting videos and let us experiment with some amazing equipment. This hands-on learning opportunity was incredible! The professional cameras and lenses were far more advanced than what I\u2019m used to\u2014sorry, duPont-Ball Library, but this gear was on another level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the interns had the chance to use the camera and record what we found interesting. I specifically sought out individuals with signs or T-shirts featuring Martin Luther King Jr.’s quotes, believing it would add a human touch to the content. Sharing people’s voices and messages is a great way to make content more relatable and impactful.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to capturing the parade, we interviewed the event coordinator and the DeLand mayor. We asked them to share their thoughts on the significance of MLK Day and why it\u2019s so important. Including perspectives like theirs not only adds credibility but also highlights Stetson\u2019s connection to local community leaders.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, Rodrigo invited us to visit the marketing department office, where he walked us through the post-production process. We learned about saving footage, editing, audio production, and the finer details of putting everything together.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This first experience was incredibly rewarding, and I\u2019m grateful for the chance to engage in hands-on learning and real-world practice. That said, after discussing with my internship coordinator, Morgan, I realized that my true interest lies more in social media strategy than in filming and editing<\/strong>. She assured me that I\u2019d have opportunities to explore that side of marketing as well, which makes me even more excited for what\u2019s to come!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through my journey at Stetson, I\u2019ve gained clarity about what I want to do\u2014and what I don\u2019t. While I enjoy photography and videography, I don\u2019t see myself pursuing them as a career. I\u2019m eager to explore different areas of marketing that align more closely with my passions, and I hope this internship will give me those opportunities soon! (: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
