Communication 397B - ST-Intro Studio Directing

Students will learn basic concepts and techniques of studio television production, with a focus on directing program segments in a full-scale studio facility on the UMASS campus. The course focuses on the production of two series, a mini-series in the concept of digital consumption, and a collective effort on a long show format. Each student will create and direct one episode of the digital series, as well as the long show. Some post-production editing and field camera work will be involved.

Open to Senior, Junior and Sophomore Communication majors with testing agreement only. Journalism Majors and Film Certificate Students by permission of the instructor, jasonmay@umass.edu.

Please note: depending on the plans to return to campus in the fall, this class might not run as planned. Questions should be emailed to Allison Butler (atbutler@comm.umass.edu). Allison Butler will reach out with more information and updates over the summer.
