We are seeking an enthusiastic Media Intern ready to dive into the world of audiovisual storytelling with a purpose!
This is an opportunity for someone hungry to learn about and contribute to a startup media production house in an impact-driven, start up setting.

- Help with gear prep, and manage equipment inventory before and after shoots
Production (40%)
- Assist on-set as a second shooter, camera assistant, or gaffer/grip depending on project needs
- Support audio recording setup (lav mics, boom, recorders) for interviews and podcast-style shoots
- Help manage on-set organisation, including slating, footage logging, and continuity notes
- Provide general production support to keep shoots running on schedule
- Capture behind-the-scenes content of productions and/or programmes across the Hatch ecosystem
Post-Production (30%)
- Organise and back up footage following file management/naming conventions
- Assist with rough cuts, selects, and transcription/logging of interview footage
- Support colour correction, sound mixing, and motion graphics workflows
- Help prepare final exports and deliverables in formats required for different platforms (YouTube, social, client handoff)
📍 Required Competencies

- Basic understanding of production fundamentals (camera, lighting, audio, or editing) and a passion for learning more in the field.
Communication & Interpersonal Skills
- Ability to articulate creative and technical choices, demonstrating your thought process and an understanding of how the different stages of production come together to tell a cohesive story.
