PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Through study and hands-on practice, students are trained in the fundamental principles, techniques, and craft of digital journalism. This is accomplished through a combination of lecture, demonstration, in-class hands-on production, and the students' own work.

Each student produces three news projects, shot with single-camera set-ups edited on Final-Cut Pro. This intensive workshop provides a strong introduction to necessary digital and journalism skills.

PROJECTS
As producers, students will have to identify and make arrangements for their subjects, choose and secure locations, prepare equipment, arrange the preparation and set up of the locations, and make final technical checks. Student producers will be required to edit and deliver their projects for viewing and critiques. Projects to be completed are:

FIELD REPORT	THE INTERVIEW
Each student produces a field report. In crews of two, each student directs, produces, writes, shoots, and edits a short field report of up 30 seconds to one minute.	Each student produces and edits a single camera interview of one to two minutes. Students are challenged to ask open-ended questions and various conventions of the television interview.
NEWS SEGMENT
Each student produces a news segment or human-interest story. Working in crews of four, each student makes a segment of 1 to 3 minutes. To take the next step in ENG (Electronic News Gathering), students will develop, produce and shoot a complete segment, which will allow them to incorporate more elaborate camera work and use of locations, as well as in-depth research and editing techniques.

CLASSES
DIGITAL JOURNALISM	HANDS - ON CAMERA
This class meets twice a week throughout the month. It includes fundamental principles of news-gathering and digital production. Projects are introduced in the class and it is the venue where they are viewed and critiqued. Topics include: Producing and directing single camera shoots, research, and broadcast standards.	Functions, operation, and use of the digital video cameras and associated equipment. Training for shooting in the field and in the studio. Students will be taught basic principles for a variety of shooting environments and conditions.
HANDS - ON AUDIO	DIGITAL PRODUCTION WORKSHOP
Students will learn to record quality audio. Training will encompass wireless, interview, and boom microphone techniques.	In these teacher-supervised labs, the process of directing, shooting, and sound recording for digital news projects is put into practice. Each workshop is an opportunity for students to implement and examine in a controlled environment the techniques they are learning in class.
EDITING	SOUND DESIGN
Non-linear editing training with Final Cut Pro. Students will be taught fundamental editing tools and techniques using this software. Students edit their own digital projects, and can supplement classes with individual consultations at the editing station. Students will be taught concepts of editing non-fiction material, both practical and aesthetic.	This class introduces the process of sound editing and design. It provides concepts, technical information, and hands-on demonstration. The class challenges the students to use sound as an additional tool to enhance their storytelling, and takes them through the complete post-production process.
PRODUCTION MEETINGS
Before each production, students meet with the Digital Journalism instructor by crew in preparation for the upcoming project. Students are required bring all preparatory materials to Production Meeting. These may include stForyboards, scripted material, location details, and shooting schedule.
Additional projects will include live studio productions and live remote broadcasts. *Courses are subject to change For further information please email David Klein BACK TO TOP
