I have just come back from an intense training course. The course was from wednesday to sunday, 7.00am to 10.30pm! My brain was just numb after just one day. The course was run at Horsham, by a Christian organisation. It is to train new Newscrews for Hope 08 with UCB Television. The news programmes start to go out on air from April 1st.
We learn`t EVERYTHING about being on a News Crew. My team was made up of me and no-one else! I am the only one who is a `one man band`.
The training covered everything from being a reporter, Health and Safety, Consent forms, Vox Pops (interviewing passers by on the street like on a news report), How to prepare a camera, lighting, arranging a shot etc. This is only the tip of the iceberg.
One tip that I learned and I`m giving you for free is this
