Special Note
This is a 2nd year elective course. It is open to students who have completed Visual Journalism or by application for students with prior experience in photography and/or videography.
Course overview
This advanced course builds on the fundamentals of photojournalism and videography acquired in JRNL 520V, and explores both video and still imagery as a form of storytelling for digital audiences. The course will hone student competences in three key areas: editorial storytelling, creative techniques and technical skills. This is a project-oriented course which prepares students to tell compelling, impactful and poignant stories visually. Students will not be restricted to one visual medium, but will be encouraged to combine both mediums in an appropriate manner for their final project.
