My internship project is an informational video about a school, Schildt Upper Secondary, that can be showed to English speakers that want to know more about the school. As well as being a great opportunity to stretch and practice my movie making skills, this project is also an opportunity for me to really get to understand Finnish education and how it works so well. The school that I'm working for is the school that my host sister, Luulia, attends. Therefore, it is easy for me to go to and from every day. The first week of my three week internship, I spent getting to know the ins and outs of the school and Finnish education. The second week, I spent collecting footage for the video and doing interviews. The third and fourth week, I am to spend editing all the footage together.
Right now, I have all the footage for the movie and am beginning to edit it all together. I am also finishing up to script so that I can record it being read by one or two of the school's exchange students. This will add a diverse feel to the movie as opposed to if I read it.
