Course Structure

The show is planned to consist of 7 half-hour episodes of a magazine-style entertainment-based show.

Students will attend the course for three days a week. Students also need flexibility to be able to attend segment and show shoots in evenings and on weekends. Individual needs will be considered by the project leaders, but flexibility is the key. The course is designed in this way to maximise the potential for students to also hold a part-time job while they attend.

Students will be appointed by the executive producer to operate in rolling teams. All students will take responsibility at least once for each of the key roles of producer, production manager, director, writer, camera operator, sound recordist, vision mixer and editor over the course of production. All students will work collaboratively in these rolling production teams in segment production, web-purposing of content; and the making of the “behind the scenes” documentary material for the website.

Units covered will include camera, lighting, sound, editing, producing, directing, writing, research, integration of media into web-environments, vision mixing, multiple camera shoots, developing television programs & segments, small business studies, and much more.

All equipment and facilities will be supplied, episode budgets will be available.
