This course offers the opportunity to write, shoot, and edit field reporting projects, and then plan and produce a live studio production as the final group project.

Note: Some class assignments require students to move, lift, and carry video equipment.

Note: The basis of this industry is to travel to the location of the subject to be filmed.
