• Arrange for and conduct interviews.
• Decide which elements should be included in an item, their order, length and sequence, as well as the method of transition from one element to another.
• Develop shot lists and sequences that contribute to the focus and mood of the story.
• Prepare, align, set up and operate an ENG/EFP unit, a smartphone and ancillary equipment, ensuring optimal audio, video and technical quality under prevailing conditions.
• Understand digital and media consumption patterns of our audiences.
• Light the subject or scene and compose program visual material using a handheld camera. Ensure that the material produced meets the technical and esthetic requirements for editing.
• Deliver all recorded materials, including shot lists and sequences.
• Edit recorded items on appropriate/available editing systems.
• Prepare and write scripts, continuity and headlines.
• Report the story, either on camera or in voice-over form.
