This course is your opportunity to perfect the video production techniques you learned in the first semester. You will improve your shooting, writing and editing skills so that you can produce professional level video features for any platform, from digital sites like Vox and Vice to streaming news channels like CNN and CBS, to the websites of newspapers and magazines, like The Washington Post and The New Yorker.
In this class, you will learn to shoot with the C-100, a professional video camera widely used in the industry. You’ll capture good clear audio and learn simple lighting techniques to enhance your shots. Using thoughtful storytelling approaches, you will produce 2 – 3 stories of your choice, either reporter-driven (i.e. narrated) or non-narrated (told by the subject.)
Video is everywhere. Well-told video features will make your resumé stand-out.
