Communication 397TV - ST-TV Studio Oper, Prod Design

This course explores the links between technical operations, creative production design, and actual production in the live, multiple-camera HD studio environment. Though loaded with technology, the television studio is, from the first instance through the last, a creative environment with tools aimed at production of meaningful content. This six-week course will explore the studio environment, microphone types, video formats, non-linear editing, and the growing push for digital solutions for studios. Students will have three options for a final project submission.

Open to Senior, Junior and Sophomore Communication majors with testing agreement only. 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.
