I completed my senior internship at Chets Creek Church as a part of the communications team. My primary functions included creating videos to be used for the Sunday and Wednesday services, planning and creating content for the social media platforms, and creating the branding for the capital campaign rolling out in the fall of 2021.
The process I conducted to create the weekly service videos included searching for and pursuing leads for testimonies, helping the interviewee write out their testimony, filming the testimony, and editing the video complete with Chets branding and music.
To create the social media calendars and content, I pulled ideas from a list I created at the beginning of my internship of past social media posts on the Chets pages and ideas from other churches. Then I gathered the pictures, created the graphic with Canva or created the video. Finally, I wrote the copy and scheduled it to post with Hootsuite.
My role in the branding of the capital campaign involved gathering quotes from the congregation to be used in the campaign materials and throughout the launch along with participating in meetings to find the most aesthetic look for the brand, vision room and materials being used for launch. The largest role I have for the campaign is to work with my supervisor to create the videos to be used at vision meeting, in the service and on social media.
Below are some examples of the projects I have worked on.
Oscar Velez
I was connected with Oscar through one of the campus pastors. After making the initial contact I gave him a template to summarize his story that we used as a guide while filming. Once edited this video was used in the Wednesday and Sunday services as well as on the social media.
Playlist I compiled all the songs that had been sung in the services since January into a playlist. Then I created the graphic using a Canva template, replacing the photo with an Unsplash photo, and changing the font to the Chets font.
5 Great Reads For this post I sent out an email to the Chets staff asking for the five best books they've read in the last five years. Then I created the Canva graphic and copy for the post. This was one of many lists I received that I will be able to pull from for a few months.
Easter Reminder "Text" As Easter was approaching we were putting out reminders every other day for the Easter services. For this post I used a Canva template and switch the picture and fonts with the Chets branding.
Volunteer Thank You
This video was created to thank volunteers for all that they have done to help Chets get up and running after the lockdown. After writing the script for this video, my supervisor helped me to film. Then I edited the video and scheduled it to post on the social media pages.
Holiday Ministry Opportunities
I created this video while working part time at Chets prior to my internship. I wrote the script to include all of the ministry opportunities we had coming up at Chets. Then I edited the video, filmed by my supervisor, along with the b roll together to go out in an email blast to the church.
