What is B.Voc Digital Journalism?

St Joseph’s College Autonomous, Bangalore, is launching two brand new Under Graduate programmes (B.Voc. or Bachelor of Vocation) this month-end. Both the programmes are three-year degree programmes (sanctioned and partly financed by UGC), and with a welcome difference: if a student wants to quit the course after a year, s/he can still leave with a Diploma, and after completing two years, with an Advance Diploma! And of course, new students can join after the first or second year for equivalent diplomas, after proving that they are good enough to straight-away join the second or third year! While B.Voc. (Visual Media and Filmmaking – VMF) aims to make students proficient in Photography in the first year (with other related film skills like Script writing), it will focus on Cinematography and Editing in the second year (with sound design), the third year lays foundation for direction, documentary, short film and music video making, and project execution. The second UG programme or B.Voc. (Digital Media and Animation – DMA) focuses on Graphic Design in the first year (and photography), 2-D Animation (and Sound Recording), and 3-D Animation, Modelling and Project and Budget Management. In addition the General Modules will train students in theatrics and histrionics, story-telling, communication skills, social media, and folk media (closely related with animation and visual story-telling like cinema/animation).
