Internship at HouseBoat Productions

Abstract

This report is about my internship as the Assistant Director at Houseboat Productions. I walked in with a head full of textbook knowledge, eager to see what TVC and film-making really felt like outside the classroom. Over the past twelve weeks, I was welcomed into the heart of the creative process. I learned the technical skills, including how to collaborate with a team and upgrade skills such as continuity log, research and development (R&D), script breakdown, location and character breakdown, scheduling shooting slots, and so on. In these pages, I will share challenges, lessons that I have learned, and my point of view about film-making and TVC. This was not only an assignment for me but also a reflection of my personal and professional growth. I hope this report will give a reader a genuine feel for my role. After all, it conveys how this internship has been preparing me for a future in film-making.
