Teaching & Learning Strategies: The delivery of the module is primarily practical. Tutorials, demonstrations, workshops and screenings will be implemented to strengthen the skills and knowledge of the student.
Module Aim: The aim of the module is to enable students to explore the conceptual, written, organisational and technical processes that are involved in making a television studio recording. The module is predominantly practical and aims to introduce students to multi-camera studio practices. As television production is completely group driven and the varying roles are many, the students learn by practically applying evolving skills and knowledge to these roles.
