Overview of class
This 301 course is an introduction to video journalism, focused on reporting on issues in Evanston and beyond. Using professional cameras and audio gear, we'll learn the craft of video storytelling, from reporting and shooting to writing and editing. Students will do weekly practice assignments to develop skills, and will then work in pairs to create a short piece suitable for publication on a local Evanston news site. The class will also feature guest lectures from working video storytellers, reporters and experts. The course is designed as a first step for those interested in pursuing video in their careers. The topic of reporting will be determined before the term begins.
