Course: Reporting Level 2 starts September 10! In this course, the focus is primarily on the content side of program development and less on the technical side. During the execution of the "Alles te Koop" assignment, various aspects of program development are covered. Setup The course begins with a research lesson, after which you get to work finding a case for the item you are going to film. Next, you will have an interviewing lesson, in which Frans Bromet teaches you the fundamentals of interviewing. After filming, a content editing lesson follows, where you learn how to build a story: the introduction of the subject, the narrative arc, and the conclusion. Throughout the course, your progress is continuously evaluated on an individual level. In this evaluation, you discuss the choices you made at various points during the production process. What went well? Where can improvements be made? Finally, there is a viewing session, during which you review and discuss your item with your fellow students and with Frans. Goal After completing this course, you will be able to create a video portrait entirely independently. Target group The course is intended for people who already have experience making reports and want to further develop themselves as camera journalists. The course aligns well with the Reportage Making - Level 1 course. We recommend taking the video editing course first if you have never edited before, as some experience with Final Cut Pro is a requirement for this course.

REPORTAGE MAKING COURSE - LEVEL 1 starting September 9! The course begins with an explanation of basic camera and sound techniques. You will be taught what to pay attention to while shooting – such as framing, lighting, and backlighting. Next, you will get to work on the first camera assignment, in which you immediately put the theoretical knowledge you have gained into practice. Following this, there is a more extensive assignment (camera, interview & editing), in which you will conduct a number of street interviews. After an introductory Final Cut Pro lesson, you will edit the footage you filmed yourself. You will receive assistance from an editor so that you have your first video by the end of the introductory course. During this course, you will be introduced to camera, sound, interview techniques, and video editing. After completing this course, you will be able to independently produce a simple report. This course is specifically for beginners: people who want to explore the genre of reportage. Would you like to take the course or just want more information?
