Prerequisites
ZURb1108 Audiovisual journalism && ZURb1116 Journalistic technological competence
A course in critical video journalism in the style of reports from the Czech Television program 168 hodin. The goal of the course is to simulate reports that would hold up in real broadcasting. The limited number of seminar participants guarantees a personal approach by the teacher and constant work interaction during the semester. The reports will be shot on the attractive topic of hoaxes and urban legends (urban myths), or putting them into perspective.
Students must have basic knowledge of filming and video processing.

Course objectives
The aim of the course is, in particular, practical preparation for the creation of audiovisual journalistic reports, which are a basic constitutive element of a number of television, radio or Internet AV formats - in the Czech environment, for example, the programs 168 hodin (Česká televize), Strepiny (Nova) or the news and journalistic programs of the Czech Radio .
Under the guidance of the lecturer, the student will go through the entire process of creating a report, from an overview of the basic theoretical assumptions, the choice of topic, through the research of the selection of respondents, the choice of reporting methods, to the actual implementation of the report and the evaluation debriefing.
Learning outcomes
The result of the course should then be for each student a pair of approximately five-minute audiovisual journalistic reports with a unifying theme, namely the verification/refutation of so-called hoaxes or urban legends, which provide sufficient space for the application of various reporting procedures. In the first report, the lecturer will guide everyone step by step. In the second report, there will be room for more or less independent work. After completing the course, graduates should be able to independently prepare a journalistic audiovisual report.
