A Summer of Growth and Learning

Hello everyone! I’m Emily Corsini, and if you’ve been following our blog this summer, you might recognize my name from numerous articles I’ve authored.

As this season’s intern at Skillman Video Group (SVG), I immersed myself in the world of SEO and video production, and I’m excited to share what that journey has been like.

Academic Foundations at Boston University

Over the past three years studying video production at Boston University, my confidence in my skills has steadily grown.

Yet, this summer at SVG challenged me to apply my academic knowledge in real-world scenarios, particularly through writing for the SVG blog.

It wasn’t just about conveying what I knew; it was about making it accessible and understandable to others, a task that proved to be both challenging and incredibly rewarding.

The Art of Writing for an Audience

Admittedly, writing is not my strongest suit, and the prospect of crafting blog posts was daunting at first.

However, as the weeks passed, what initially seemed daunting became a stimulating endeavor.

I learned to balance my knowledge with research, and writing about topics outside my immediate expertise, like SEO and B2B marketing, was particularly enlightening.

The Impact of Effective Communication

One significant lesson I’ve learned is the critical role of blogging in enhancing a company’s visibility online.

By strategically tagging posts and engaging with social media, we can elevate SVG’s presence on search engines, making our content more discoverable and relevant.

Each post I wrote aimed to affirm SVG’s active role in producing fresh, insightful content that truly resonates with our audience.

Hands-On Experience on Set

Beyond writing, I had the incredible opportunity to participate in various shoots, which were as diverse as they were educational.

From running a teleprompter to managing technical equipment I’d never touched before, each set offered a new set of lessons.

Whether it was a cozy home shoot, a structured studio setting, a bustling construction site, or the lively Boston Common, each location brought its unique flavor and learning opportunities.

Embracing the Versatility of Video Production

Working across different settings underscored the versatility required in corporate video production.

This summer has not only broadened my understanding of the logistical nuances of video shoots but also deepened my appreciation for the creative process behind each project.

Gratitude and Goodbyes

As my internship draws to a close, I look back on a summer filled with growth, challenges, and significant achievements.

I am profoundly grateful for the opportunity to contribute to SVG and to learn from some of the best in the business.

Although it’s time to pass the torch to the next intern, I leave with invaluable experiences and perhaps a return in the future.
