The Program
Over the course of five days, you will learn the basics of visual storytelling concepts through video production and post-production with Adobe Premiere. This course will provide you with an intensive, hands-on introduction to report news and feature stories with an emphasis on utilizing sophisticated video storytelling techniques. Topics that will be covered include how to develop story ideas, reporting techniques, scripting, audio and visual digital editing, and multimedia storytelling structures. This course is designed for journalists and storytellers with little to no experience in multimedia journalism but with a passion for investigation and expression through video content. Participants will leave with concrete skills and a better understanding of the technologies that are transforming the news business, and one complete video story.
Class times are 10am to 4pm each day. Students are welcome to use the lab to work before or after class, but instruction is limited to these hours.
