Communications (COMM) Contemporary Arts

Course Description

This course will further develop the students technical and aesthetic understanding of television producing while concentrating specifically on producing television for new media formats. Recently, the Internet, cell phones, and ipods have emerged as a delivery system for film/ TV producers. TV Producers make mini-episodes now for Internet audiences. This course emphasizes new formats for delivery while also experimenting with tools such as the studio chroma key and techniques
such as animation. Each student will familiarize themselves with the responsibilities of directors and segment producers so that they are not only able to direct their own segments/episodes but also the work of other writers. Along with screen directing, students will focus on script development, styles of TV acting, directing the camera, set design, lighting, and the relationship of picture to sound. Students
will leave this course with a comprehensive understanding of advanced studio production techniques from set design to cinematography to directing. Lab Fee.
