Field Work Preparation: The Essentials

There are many tools that a DevCom student should know how to operate and practice in using, but this are the top three tools that were recommended by the five fellow DevCom students from various year levels .

Cellphone

The highest ranked tool was the cellphone. Through the use of applications, editing videos and articles are already made easy using the cellphone. Various data gathering methods like recording and capturing photos are also available using this device.

The tool ranked as second was the laptop. Advanced editing would have to be done in this device, particularly the video and print editing which would be harder to do if one uses the cellphone. Additionally, proficiency in certain editing applications are needed (ex. Premiere, InDesign, etc).

Recorder

The tool ranked as third was the recorder. Once we’re in the field, a recorder is going to be one of the most essential and basic device that media writers have. The quality of the audio would still depend on the quality of the voice recorder though, so make sure that you know which brands to use.
