Description:
Videojournalism is a
new field that has grown out of traditional print
photojournalism, slideshows that combine sound and
pictures, public radio, documentary filmmaking and the
best of television news features. This amalgam of
traditions has emerged to serve the Internet's voracious
appetite for video stories.
Videojournalism is written for the new generation of "backpack" journalists. The solo videojournalist must find a riveting story; gain access to charismatic characters who can tell their own tales; shoot candid clips; expertly interview the players; record clear, clean sound; write a script with pizzazz; and, finally, edit the material into a piece worthy of five minutes of a viewer's attention. Videojournalism addresses all of these challenges, and more - never losing sight of the main point: telling a great story.
This book, based on extensive interviews with professionals in the field, is for anyone learning how to master the art and craft of telling real short-form stories with words, sound and pictures for the Web or television. The opening chapters cover the foundations of multimedia storytelling, and the book progresses to the techniques required to shoot professional video, and record high quality sound and market the resulting product.

I found this book was everything I was looking for. The
explanations were clear and most helpful. Its not easy
to find quality info on this subject. I balked at the
price initially, but after reading the book and learning
so much, I'm pleased I made the purchase.
