Journalism 450: News Video
This class will teach you the skills required to produce a broadcast news package from start to finish. We will continue to build on the broadcast writing skills you learned in Journalism 301, including an additional emphasis on writing for television. We will also focus on how to tell a compelling story. This includes how to get good interviews, how to structure a story, how to choose the best sound bites and write in and out of them effectively, and how to use your voice and delivery to enhance the meaning of your words. Throughout the semester, you will be developing your own story ideas, shooting and interviewing with our new Canon Vixia HD cameras, practicing different types of stand-ups, writing, editing with Final Cut Pro X, and delivering your stories in your best-broadcast voice. At the end of this course, you will feel confident in your ability to write and produce a variety of stories, live shots and formal interviews in an ethical, engaging and informative manner.
