Rationale

This course continues the practice and process established in FTR2003 TV Studio and the multi-camera environment. It increases both the complexity and quality output requirements of production work and skill application. It introduces the students to the Outside Broadcast (OB) of live events, using portable onsite equipment. This builds on the theory attached to the studio while also extending their studio based practical experience to a new environment. Students will work on projects in both studio and OB and become involved in not only creating their own original scripts but working with clients in a supervised/professional manner in order to produce collaborative work to meet the client’s brief. It will also introduce students to alternative means of distribution for event style outcomes, which will influence the manner in which ideas can be created and produced, in order to fit the chosen platform/s.
By developing students awareness and contact with ‘real’ clients their self-confidence and professional attitude towards the medium should prepare them to explore a broadcast (multi-camera) pathway for their third year Projects A & B.

Synopsis

Advanced Broadcast Television allows students the opportunity to create production ideas and work on all modes of a production with a highly supportive teaching staff and a crew consisting of class mates. Using both the studio and Outside broadcasting (OB) facilities, students will produce works chosen and determined by the requirements of the production and/or the client's needs. Students will produce original work that will be pitched to the class, chosen and then scripted. Then in assigned groups students selected for major roles will be responsible for each production and the others perform minor roles, offering each student four roles for the semester, two minor and two major. All four productions will involve students as a team, in developing the concept, contributing script ideas and modification, designing and building the set, planning for individual roles and crewing on each production. Completing this course successfully will enable students to plan a broadcast pathway for their future study/projects.
