Really at a shitty internship atm.Doing a diploma in broadcasting and have done all of my theory so I'm out there getting work experience and have been thru 2 internship were I got real work in the skill/role I applied for,but this is my final intern and its quite frustrating without sounding entitled.
>Arrived there with a contract signed at an agreed amount for stipend-turns out I'm not receiving even half of that,and that's after 2 months of fighting them.Can barely cover commuting expenses
>No defined role as expected but 90% duties/tasks are not related to film/TV
>Erratic and temperate bosses who dont offer clear information for whichever task they task you to
>don't call me by name and once when a client arrived when I told them my name get pissy as to why I act as if they don't know it (?)
>Some days have nothing to do and when request to learn certain software get sent on errands
>Some days I'm a construction worker some other days I'm dropping off the bosses kid at her boyfriend and picking her up afterwards or doing house groceries
.>Production days, shuffle and help every department which is getting paid handsomely end up getting blamed after freelancers leave for any mistakes
>Boss lost a set of equipment in another city on the week I arrived and asks me why its lost
>when I get chance to shoot with them heir literally faulty camcorder has focus/lens issues which I've informed them of multiple times and has been to repairs those times got blamed again for soft footage which an external freelancer also made them aware of
This local industry is small and these guys are known players,i realised the long hrs and industry shit that goes on but its honestly been soul sucking being here and being too broke to be held by a big surety makes shit even more miserable.Sorry for making this my blog but here's an account from someone who's not entirely useless to work processionally.make headway the right people kids
