Video is a powerful storytelling tool and has become a key component in journalism, public relations, and communications in a world of digital media. This module will introduce students to the basics of video journalism. With the emphasis on well-researched and in-depth reporting, students will learn the fundamental skills involved in non-fiction video storytelling and produce short-form video pieces for a digital audience. The process covers conceptualising, reporting, gathering sound and picture, applying the grammar of video, scriptwriting, performing on-camera interviews, packaging, editing and presenting on camera. Students will report and produce video stories in a variety of styles including bite-sized reports, interview-driven pieces and more traditional reporting styles, in varying lengths suitable for multimedia platforms.
