Everything the professional news camera person needs to know to tell a news story in 90 seconds will be covered in this course.  This includes broadcast camera function and operation, hand-held shooting vs. tripod, B roll acquisition, knowledge of broadcast video formats and aspect ratios, composition, professional news broadcast protocol, three point lighting, audio, voiceovers, choosing sound bites and shooting for the news editor.

During each two-day intensive class, students who already have basic video-graphy skills will practice shooting using different lighting schemes while learning the extensive menu functions that affect the image.  Become familiar with different recording formats, file-based recording and work flow from acquisition to editing.

Students will produce and shoot news stories in the field under the supervision and instruction of a seasoned news photographer. Stories will be edited by a professional editor and critiqued by the instructor.  Students will finish the course with a solid understanding of how a news story is conceived, produced and shot.
