G54.1040.01 GRADUATE TV REPORTING I: TV REPORTING FOR PRINT

This intensive TV reporting course is designed to help the print students achieve the basic skills required to report, shoot and edit a short TV story that can be incorporated in a broadcast or presented on the internet. Students will learn how to shoot using small format digital video cameras and how to edit using editing software, from the AVID and Final Cut to IMovie. The compressed time facilitates a sharper focus on broadcast form for stories that students researched in their print classes. This intensive 4-week course allows students to take this class and an internship over the summer.

G54.1070.01 MULTIMEDIA SCIENCE JOURNALISM WORKSHOP SYLLABUS

Open to SHERP students only.

In this class you will learn to combine the skills learned in your previous writing and reporting classes with multimedia tools including audio, video, photography, and web presentation, allowing you to explore stories beyond the boundaries of the printed page. We will cover writing for broadcast (both radio and television) as well as writing for a variety of online formats. While this course will offer some instruction in the tools and techniques of multimedia production, the main focus of the course will be on using those tools to enhance your storytelling. The emphasis will be on solid science journalism employing multimedia tools — not just bells and whistles. You will be expected to enter this course with a basic familiarity with video production using the department's Avid systems. We will explore techniques and tools for audio, video, and web work, with an end goal of combining all those tools to produce (in small teams) a full multimedia web package by the end of the course.

G54.1182.01 [CANCELLED] SPECIALIZED REPORTING: PHOTOJOURNALISM

Open also to undergraduate students.

Using New York City as a backdrop, students learn how to produce photojournalistic images of urban news and feature events. In the traditional classroom setting, students are taught camera basics and fundamentals of still photography. They apply those skills on location at impromptu and planned photo shoots. The goal of the class is to enable each student to produce a variety of images for his or her own comprehensive photographic portfolio. A 35 mm camera and flash are required as well as color negative film, which will be processed and printed commercially. Previous photo experience is appreciated but not mandatory.
