sound recording

This workshop provides students with an introduction to the technical and aesthetic languages of video production. Shooting with Flip cameras and Zoom audio/video recorders and editing with Final Cut Pro, each student will produce a short piece investigating a subject of personal resonance and social relevance. Past subjects have included racial identity, young motherhood, and cultural segregation. Diverse approaches are encouraged, from traditional documentary to lyrical essay. An emphasis is placed on "new media" distribution via YouTube, blip.tv, and other websites.

How do you uncover the news? How do you know if a story is important? How do you produce a radio news story – quickly and accurately? Workshop participants learn the craft and technique of radio journalism by researching, producing and editing short news or feature stories about West Philadelphia for broadcast on WPEB. The workshop culminates in a live radio broadcast on WPEB featuring news reports produced by workshop participants.
