Videojournalism training in South AfricaIf you're looking for some of these from videojournalism, then I look forward to saying hello and getting reacquainted in 2010 here and in Viewmagazine.tv
- Ability to make good films
- To understand how to make different films appropriate to the subject
- To be fast at turning around films
- To get access to your subject
- To speed up your workflow
- To gain an insight into a relevant history of image making
- To see how you can use videojournalism in various innovatory fashions
- To keep up to date with new practices
- To experience the works of those that inspire us all
- To see what you could do differently to traditional media
If these are some of the things that by mistake or purposefully landed you here, then in the 2010 I hope you'll come back.
Because in 2010 I'll be shaping viewmagazine.tv towards the above in greater detail.
For instance, there's an interview with Rob Chiu whose Fear/Love series around youth issues explains how to make stunning shot films, using DV Cams and Reds, but also how you produce short films that don't lecture to the audience.
See Rob's trailer here ( You won't be disappointed )and then see his interview on Viewmagazine.tv click "scene". Government's take heed.
In Collisions from the (South Bank Centre), some of the foremost experts in film and video will explain where next for the medium. I have my own interests in cine-videojournalism, but there's more, much much more to hopefully sate your appetite.
I'll be talking to a range of bodies, whom may be interested in your talents. For instance with the Olympics looming I have been having a wonderful conversation with various bodies e.g. Sports governing body at looking at new ways at recruiting multimedia journalists.
Do drop me a line to say what you'd like to hear about as well. Happy Holidays.
