Master in Film and Media Studies
Journalism, Production and Communication (constituent elective; constituent for the concentration in Journalism, Culture and Society)
There are three learning spaces:
1. Lectures as weekly lessons or shorter courses as workshops.
2. A project-oriented learning environment, where an essential
part of learning takes place in the form of practice, team
collaboration, testing and theoretical analysis on three case
studies. During the course process the student receives supervision
by the teacher.
3. A partnership with an internet business company, where
cooperation constitutes an editorial cooperation between the
company and the students. The main purpose here is that the
students in groups deliver text articles and/or picture/video
productions relevant for the content on the platform.
The students work in groups of 3-5 persons
The students produce three communication products:
1. A web-article. All students are producing a 300 word long article, based on fundamental principles of web journalism, adapted to digital web-journalism. Focusing on size, editing and content regarding to SEO/meta script, digital standards for the use of images/video and fact/graphical boxes. The article is written in a CMS-model, Wordpress. Utility/plugin to SEO is Yoast based on Google search. CMS/Yoast is introduced as a management tool for web-journalism in the Google universe. The teacher will introduce the subject for the communication product. The purpose of the first production is basic research knowledge based on the literature, clarifying standards for journalistic documentation.
2. A Communication production with text/video.
This study can be a processing/style exercise for the final
examination in which students are testing different types of
text/picture/video/audio recording and editing. The students may
produce a dummy with professional recording equipment. The students
get a short, but intensive introduction to AV-equipment on this
course if the students prefer to use the broadcast recording and
editing-equipment. The students are free to use the
Department's IPad-kit for recording and the editing
software-Adobe Premiere CS5 available in the multimedia lab
14-4-48, without any kind of AV-introduction. The topic is free,
but can point towards solution of the final examination production.
The teacher supervise the production.
3. Examination production. The group may
produce one of the following two production types, or a
combination: - An article series of three articles, based on
standards for an already established digital information portal,
according to the company the class cooperate with. The articles
provide different content within a specific theme and each article
is 300 words long. The articles are supplied with photos/graphics
-A short video/audio production at maximum 3-5 minutes, based on
standards for an already established digital information portal. A
relevant article of 300 words and a third intermediary product that
