The LLC is seeking a skilled and self-driven student to serve as its Media Producer & Videographer. The department has invested in professional-grade equipment — DSLR cameras, a video recorder, LED lighting, lavalier microphones, shotgun microphones, tripods, and supporting accessories — and needs someone who knows how to use them well.

This role is responsible for planning, shooting, and editing high-quality video content for the MLLL department: faculty and student interviews, event documentation, promotional videos, and short‑form social content.

  • Propose and initiate original video content ideas that serve the department’s promotional and storytelling goals
• Editing & Post‑Production

  • Adapt edits for multiple formats: long‑form (You Tube/website), short‑form (Reels/Shorts), and presentation clips
  • Manage video upload workflows — exporting, captioning, and publishing to You Tube, Instagram, and the department website
  • Maintain organized project files and an archive of raw footage, project files, and finished edits for institutional use
• Event Documentation & Coverage
  • Cover departmental events including Language and Culture Day, placement testing season kickoffs, language club events, faculty talks, and workshops
  • Capture both planned and candid moments that reflect the energy and culture of the MLLL community
  • Photograph events when a second camera operator is not available, contributing to the department’s photo archive
