This course is focused on learning to produce video journalism for a variety of media platforms. Working in two- or three-person teams, students videotape, and edit news stories and learn the basics of camerawork and video and audio editing. The emphasis is on gaining hands-on skills in quickly producing video news in a variety of forms. Through direct experience and practice, students refine their understanding of the very different demands video makes on their writing and interviewing skills.
