MFC6463 - Creating TV Content

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:

In this module, students develop a professional understanding of the processes required to create high-quality content for TV online and any other platforms. To further demonstrate their understanding, students will give a live 5-minute pitch for their programme idea and create a professional pitch deck in Semester 1.

In Semester 2, they devote their time to creating a project of their own devising – in any genre or platform. It can be a factual documentary, drama, comedy, studio-based TV show, or content for an online platform.
