Field Production introduces students to hands-on and theoretical applications to single-camera non-studio television production. The course consists of lectures and lab work. A portion of the lab work will be done on location. The course develops students' techniques in proposal writing pre-production production and post-production problem-solving. Labs provide students with a working knowledge of broadcast equipment facilities and industry standards. Field Production will cover in practice what is needed for the creation of effective television programming. This programming could be a documentary a fiction piece experimental video public service announcement or a sponsored video. The productions produced for this class must be produced with the idea that these productions could eventually air on broadcast television.
