TV weather presenter course
Weather presenting is a unique art, incorporating an understanding of meteorology with the ability to turn facts into a weather story that captivates an audience. This course is specially designed for anyone who is new to weather presenting, but wants to learn how to do it.
The course
You will learn how to present the weather, about common mistakes and good techniques including:
- how to feel comfortable in front of camera
- describing the graphics
- working with the weather maps
- telling a weather story
- presenting a weather bulletin to a set duration
- using a written brief from a forecaster
Outcome
You will benefit from the exceptional technical quality that only a professional broadcast facility can provide.
At the end of the course you will be provided with a show reel on DVD. The total amount of recorded work will vary slightly from person to person, but expect to take away around one to two minutes' worth of material.
