This video clip was captured with my point and shoot Lumix LX-2 in 16:9 of David Dunkley Gyimah explaining the differences between the way video journalism is reported from the field: The traditional broadcast model vs the video journalist shooting more like a newspaper style “Photo Joe.”
After working with David all week - my style here has clearly been influenced by fascination with the handheld “Bourne Identity” shooting technique. In this piece, David is so engaged with his audience that I decided not to cut away. What do you think? Would this have been stronger with cut away shots?
Video clip made and edited by David Dunkley Gyimah
Thanks to David for this bonus - I had no idea he was shooting. I actually couldn’t see anything with those bright TV lights in my face.
