In this role, you will report to the Senior Manager of News and Programming (N.S./P.E.I./N.L.) and the station’s Digital Producer.

You are a highly creative storyteller with a proven track record in videography and video editing. You are well versed in the various camera systems used at CBC/Radio-Canada and possess a deep understanding of digital trends — specifically vertical video creation and online video best practices. Beyond your technical skills, you are passionate about current affairs and Atlantic Canadian news. You are someone who thrives in a collaborative team environment but is always looking for ways to break the mould and engage audiences differently.

Functions:

Conceive, research, develop and produce visual story items, including shooting and editing both video and still images. Your work will adhere to CBC journalistic and/or program policies, standards and practices but there is latitude for creativity, initiative and independent judgment. Occasionally, there may be a requirement to co-ordinate the work of others.

Key Tasks:

• Conceive and develop story and video ideas and concepts for digital platforms.

• Develop the story content, at times in conjunction with one or more journalists, including the researching, writing and/or editing of written material. Determine the style, pace, tempo and format of the story item.

• Perform location surveys and identify special requirements such as audio, lighting, camera angles, production limitations, etc.

• Book facilities required for the production, shooting, editing and assembly of material.

• Write material, prepare questions and develop background on stories and interview subjects.

• Develop shot list and sequences that contribute to the focus and mood of the story.

• Prepare, align, set up and operate the camera and ancillary equipment, ensuring optimal audio, video and technical quality under prevailing conditions.

• Light the subject or scene and compose program visual material using a hand-held camera. Ensure that the material produced meets technical and esthetic requirements for editing.

• Shoot or oversee the shooting of program material.

• Edit or direct the editing of recorded items on appropriate/available editing systems.

• Perform the following tasks as required:

  • Perform final edit.
  • Report the story, either on camera or in voice-over form.
  • Arrange for and conduct interviews.
  • Maintain a basic library of stock footage and archival information.
  • Perform routine minor maintenance on camera, editing and associated equipment.
  • In the field, carry out emergency repairs to camera and/or equipment.
  • Provide leadership and guidance for performers and crew.
  • Provide talent and crew with feedback to assist their performance.

This role requires full-time on-site presence.
