SHORTS: DOC NYC U – NYU
The News and Documentary program at NYU Journalism prepares students to report and produce short- and long-form video journalism for traditional and non-traditional media. From the first class, students are on the streets reporting, shooting, and editing. The program’s goal is to have students skilled in both form and content, effectively using all aspects of the medium. Final thesis documentaries are produced, shot, and edited by each student on their own. (Total Running Time: 90 min.)
