What will you be doing?

Dymund Lyfe provides resources, coaching, inspiration and support to young women through various programs and initiatives. As part of our commitment to excellence, we are searching for a passionate and dedicated camera operator that potentially doubles up as an editor to assist us with our new social initiative.

 

 

Key Responsibilities

Camera Operator  -  You will creatively capture the team who go out to give items to the homeless ladies. You will also capture interviews done by Ebbie with the homeless people where she will be getting information to share the story of the people and this needs to be done in a creative and empowering way.

Editing - Based on the footage that has been done, you will creatively edit the videos, adding relevant sound effects, music, voiceover if needed and simple animations if necessary to bring the video content alive which will be put on our YouTube Channel for the world to see.

 

What are we looking for?

The Ideal Volunteer will have the following:

  • Experience in setting up professional camer ncas such as DSLR as well as knowing and understanding about lighting set up needed for different locations.
  • Be able to work with external microphones to capture high grade quality audio which will be synced during post production.
  • You should have a creative mindset and able to come up with ideas on how to generate content that will enhance our mission with this social enterprise.
  • You should have the desire to want to get young women off the streets so they can stand on their own feet and make a difference in their communities.
  • You will also have experience with composition of shots for both videography and photography. The media will be posted across our socials to showcase the great work that we do in the community which will help when we begin to seek for funding.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to work individually with very little supervision as well as the ability to work collaboratively with a  team.
  • Passion for wanting to contribute to a worthy cause and make a difference in the lives of young people.

 

Benefits

You will gain valuable experience working on a real project that will showcase your skills and enhance your portfolio.

You will make a meaningful impact by contributing to a worthy cause that empowers young women.

You will enjoy the opportunity to go to various places within London so this role will definitely suit someone that loves adventures and to visit different areas and explore.

What difference will you make?

You will be supporting the founder as she goes into the street to give food items to the homeless people as well as interview them as they share their stories. You will play a huge part in getting these people help so they can get off the streets by filming footages as the founder goes to seek out these organisations who can help these people.

 

This will also give you the opportunity to build your portfolio with an impactful project that demonstrates your skills and creativity which you can use if you were job hunting or going freelance to get clients.

This role will be suitable for someone who lives in London and someone who possibly drives so as to help transport the groceries to give to these homeless people as you film and capture these relevant footages for the use of the social initiative.

 

Although this is starting as a social initiative, if we get any funding, sponsorship or any monetary thing, we would look at how we can contribute financially to you if you would be willing to accept some form of payment when the sponsorships begin to come.

Before you apply

If this sounds interesting to you, please send us your CV and cover letter and tell us why you are the right person for this role. It will also be beneficial if you have a portfolio too.
