TVRD 170 Television Practicum I

Students will practice their knowledge and skills in designated areas of television production with hands-on experience as the primary method of instruction. Through the semester, the class will collectively create a TV program from start to finish. Students will concentrate their efforts in several of the following areas: producing, screenwriting, directing, camera, editing, and proper studio procedures. Students will work in a collaborative team setting on a strict production schedule. Each student may take four Television Practicum courses for credit, and each registration should be for the next numbered course.
