Course Title

Video Journalism

Description

This course will teach students to analyze fact-based, video narrative storytelling. They will learn how to identify a story for video on any platform including TV. Students will study the historical context of video storytelling from the first images drawn on a cave wall to the emergence of TV and the evolution of video platforms for conveying news. They will learn how to report for video, research, interview, shoot and edit video, synthesize information and write scripts that tell clear short-form stories. They will go out into the community and report and ultimately produce and present their stories, which will appear on our teaching website Harlem View, CUNY-TV or other platforms.
