MFC4103 - TV Studio Production

Objectives:

Assessment tasks are designed to enable students to demonstrate the Learning and Employability outcomes for the relevant level of study. Level Learning Outcomes are embedded in the assessment task(s) at that level. This enables a more integrated view of overall student performance at each level.

Content:

This module will introduce students to the essential skills of the television studio and entry level television production roles. It will be taught through a series of lectures and interactive workshops, covering various aspects of each entry level role job, including key roles in the studio environment, on location and in the production office. Relevant presentations and programme clips will be used to engage and inform the students and regular exercises (group and individual) will be given, so they can individually demonstrate a clear understanding of each aspect of the jobs. A series of workshop sessions will prepare students for detailed assessments, intended to demonstrate the students’ ability to research a programme idea and present it as a “pitch” to a Producer, and to create a basic TV studio programme.
