A highly practical and interactive introduction to MoJo (Mobile Journalism).
This four-day, face to face workshop gives journalists the technical and creative skills needed to film & edit their own material using a mobile phone rig.
Delegates don’t need any previous experience of self-shooting or MoJo work. The course is designed to allow journalists with differing levels of filming/editing skill & experience to grow in confidence & ability.
Delegates learn to gather material & create a basic edit working alone.
They’ll understand the principles of filming & editing for TV & how self-shooting & MoJo differ from traditional processes.
Delegates gain hands on experience in:
- Working with MoJo kit, camera apps & mobile editing software.
- Shot composition & sound recording in real world situations.
- Gathering shots & editing with them on the phone.
- Shooting interviews, sequences & moving shots.
- Creating a self-shot story from start to finish.
Aside from having a smart phone, all you need to take part in this course is your creativity, energy and a willingness to try something new.
