Videojournalism is a new field that combines elements of photojournalism, documentary filmmaking and television news features. A videojournalist faces the challenge of finding a compelling story and characters, shooting visuals and sound, writing a script, and editing all of these into a very short feature piece. In this course, students are introduced to the world of videojournalism by learning the foundations of nonfiction storytelling and single camera techniques, discussing social, political and economic issues, and producing a series of short feature segments.
