Television Broadcasting
Mr. Leonard
Introduction:
Television Broadcasting is a hands on philosophy designed to promote interest and training into all that goes on in a television studio. This course will help you gain a better understanding of what it takes to put together a full broadcast from pre-production to air-time. Exploration of this medium will be further developed by looking at the cultural impacts it creates, and how it evolves over time with society. As a result there is an appreciation gained for the craft and possible related career fields.
Course Goals:
About the class:
Television and video production is a time sensitive activity and demands a working knowledge of advanced computer software and electronics. It also requires that each student work in a cooperative environment and show leadership skills in managing yourself, deadlines, group members, and tasks in group and individual projects.
Equipment:
Respect of the equipment is essential. Equipment is limited and expensive and we need to keep it in excellent working condition. The use of school equipment is a privilege. Please use the equipment correctly and safely at all times, or you will lose the privilege of using it. Not being allowed to use the equipment will severely impact your ability to complete assignments.
Shooting Video:
There may be times where shooting video will be done outside of the studio, and after school. All shooting locations in and around school must be approved by the teacher first. If scheduling after school shoots be sure to use the equipment as efficiently as possible and organize this with Mr. Leonard first. Please remember that you may be tapped at anytime in the classroom for a demonstration. That being said...
You can not refuse to be on camera. Everyone in class will have to do the morning show as on air talent.
Safety:
I cannot stress enough the importance of safety in video production. Electricity is dangerous, so handle lights, cords, etc. with the utmost care. Be aware of your surroundings at all times when shooting. Safety of you and your crew is #1.
Course Expectations:
Do your Best!
Work Hard!
Work Together!
Have Fun!
General Outline For Grading
It’s all about creating a meaningful show each and every class. Video segments come together in a professional way, utilizing tools in the studio and classroom to produce engaging material that is entertaining, thought provoking, and showcases our school in a positive light. The studio team will run a show everyday and must work as a team to have a seamless production.
Note:
Not completing a segment on time will cause a grade reduction.
Abstaining from being talent for the day will result in a zero for the day.
