Course objectives

In the Television News course you will be filming. And shoot. And shoot. And write. And transcribe. And cut. And cut. We'll guide you in practicing television formats from short interviews, to read-alouds, to creative stand-ups, to independent reporting. You'll learn from your own mistakes and ours. We'll give you a behind-the-scenes look at the TV newsroom and how the various professions work together. We'll guide you through the transformation of stark information into an engaging and visually appealing television story. The course should be an ideal preparation for the TV Stisk and your independent practice/work in (not only) TV news editing. We will be inviting guests from the television background. In classes you will try out practical tasks. Part of the preparation for the course is watching newscasts of individual TV stations.
