ABSTRACT
This book teaches the reader how to shoot better video and tell better stories by learning from those who practice some of the best techniques in the field—whether you are a reporter trained in a conventional broadcast news style, a photographer who has been asked by an editor if she can shoot some video for the newspaper’s website, a print journalist who never imagined that they would be “writing” stories with a video camera rather than their word processor, or perhaps your paper no longer exists in print— but it’s now online and you need video to engage an audience wanting more multimedia. Or you may even be a top journalist that saw her paper fold and you went freelance— you’re a strong writer, but you have a feeling you could become entrepreneurial and set up a blog where you can write and put up video to help attract an audience. Perhaps you’re a student thinking about going into journalism or you’re already enrolled in J-school and you’re being told that you need to do multimedia if you ever hope to enter the profession.
