Requirements:
- Commitment to fulfill tasks for all Picture This Post staff members—to remain in good standing. See Picture This Post Student Volunteers – Good Standing Commitments.
-Completion of Picture This Post Writer Trial Balloon
**This Trial Balloon is done at the beginning of your internship, not prior.
-Commitment to study and adhere to the Picture This Post Writers’ Guidelines. See “ABOUT Picture This Post”—the introductory chapter in a guide of ~a dozen chapters, that is continuously being updated.
What You Will Do:
-You will write film reviews. You may be asked to repeat the Trial Balloon (which is a film review also) until both you and your editor are confident that you are able to pen a review first draft that requires no or a minimum of edits to be publication ready.
-You will write 5+ reviews per year—these can be in Film or other areas that Picture This Post covers. In all cases, you only write reviews when you are in receipt of an editor assignment letter.
-You will do layouts for your own stories—and if you enjoy it or want practice, you may opt to help with layouts of others’ stories.
-You will learn how to use the Picture This Post social media automation to publicize your stories on the Picture This Post social media pages.
-You will commit to continuously study the Picture This Post Writers’ Guidlelines and do all the Volunteer in Good Standing tasks - - most of which are geared to keep the Writers’ Guidelines in your front-of-mind.
-You are not expected to write reviews on any schedule. You only sign on to review events, etc. that you are interested in. Some writers pen reviews as often as five times a week; some writers might only do five reviews a year.
-You can add on to your Film Review Writer role with other Picture This Post Jobs—your schedule permitting. If you have interest in the Indie Film scene, the top recommended job would be Film Calendar Manager.
What You Will Learn:
This position is an excellent opportunity for anyone interested in both film and honing their writing skills.
