Video Editor / Producer Volunteer

The Project

Casa Myrna, Boston’s largest provider of shelter and supportive services to domestic violence survivors, is looking for a volunteer to shoot and edit a 2 minute video related to our 50th anniversary celebration. The development and communications team will work with the volunteer to discuss our vision for the video, and welcome your ideas as well. The video will include a voiceover brief history of the organization, quotes from interviews with Casa Myrna staff, and some b-roll of archival materials.

Timeline

We are hoping for interviews to be shot in August and the video to be edited in September. We estimate the total volunteer time for this project to be 10 – 20 hours

You Will:

• • Have experience shooting and editing video
  • Provide your own video shooting and editing software
  • Edit soundbites from interviews
  • Use archival elements as b-roll
  • Add captions, music, transitions, and graphics where appropriate
  • Communicate with the development and communications team throughout the process
