JOB POSTING
VIDEOGRAPHER
FIELD SUPPORT SERVICES PROJECT
1. BACKGROUND
Each year, Canada’s international assistance partnerships help millions of people in 150 countries and territories. These contributions tell a story, whether they go toward helping to stop the spread of a pandemic, support for refugees, education for women and girls around the world, fighting climate change or improving market access for local businesses. While Canada has been contributing to international assistance for nearly 75 years around the world, Indonesians are not always aware of the how these contributions help build a healthier, safer, more prosperous world.
To increase the visibility of Canada in Indonesia, the Embassy of Canada to Indonesia and Timor Leste launched its social media accounts. Starting with Facebook in 2013, followed by Twitter in 2014 and then Instagram in 2018. The International Assistance Program contributes to the content of the Embassy’s social media by publishing information that relates to Canada’s international assistance activities in Indonesia and participates in developing visual identity to help raise public awareness about the role the Government of Canada plays in international assistance.
The visual identity for Canada’s international assistance will often be paired with photos, images, and video footage to help demonstrate the impact of Canada’s international development and humanitarian aid projects. Along with the changing conditions and preferences of audiences in Indonesia, who prefers information conveyed through video, especially short footages, highlighting information and our success in the development work in the form of video or film is important.
