As newspapers and broadcast news outlets direct more resources
toward online content, print reporters and photojournalists are
picking up video cameras and crafting new kinds of stories with
their lenses. Creating multimedia video journalism requires more
than simply adapting traditional broadcast techniques: it calls for
a new way of thinking about how people engage with the news and
with emerging media technologies. In this guide, Kurt Lancaster
teaches students and professional journalists how to shoot better
video and tell better stories on the web, providing a strong
understanding of cinematic storytelling and documentary production
so their videos will stand out from the crowd.
Video Journalism for the Web introduces students to all the
basic skills and techniques of good video journalism and
documentary storytelling, from shots and camera movements to sound
and editing as well as offering tips for developing compelling,
character-driven narratives and using social media to launch a
successful career as a "backpack journalist." Shooting, editing,
and writing exercises throughout the book allow students to put
these techniques into practice, and case studies and interviews
with top documentary journalists provide real-world perspectives on
a career in video journalism. This book gives aspiring documentary
journalists the tools they need to get out in the field and start
shooting unforgettable multimedia stories.
