Shooting editing and writing exercises throughout the book allow students to put these techniques into practice and case studies and interviews with top documentary journalists provide real - world perspectives on a career in video journalism. This book gives aspiring documentary journalists the tools they need to get out in the field and start shooting unforgettable multimedia stories.
