Summary
This course will prepare you to research and produce long-form journalism for online, radio and television. You’ll learn all the aspects of the process from research and production right through to multi-platforms, to making a pitch, the commissioning process, costing and budgets. This course will offer you a multi-platform approach to documentary making, as you’ll develop in-depth research methods, storytelling techniques, gain practical skills in broadcasting, writing, online and visual journalism.
You’ll be taught by our team of experienced media professionals as well as visiting documentary makers across all platforms and be guided through the commercial process of documentary making. As part of the course, you can chose to work with the MA Documentary production hub which provides film production experience on live projects within NTU, the local creative industries and further afield. Employability is a key focus of the course, and you will meet commissioning editors and documentary producers within the field.
