Students will learn the process of directing programs in a studio environment, as well as practice principles of set design, lighting design; sound design, pickup & mixing; graphic design in the TV studio environment. The course will be a combination of analytics, technical understanding, and a hands-on learning experience. We will analyze various programs and their corresponding formats. Then, we will work on a long show format project as a class.
