Working in large and small groups students devise and produce two factual programmes that differ widely in genre
and production process. 1) Studio based Multi-camera Television show. Students work in large groups to produce 4
x 25 minutes live music magazine programmes. Through practice in the studio students learn the procedures and
protocols necessary for shooting a large crew “as live” TV studio show. Students learn how to schedule, source
talent, produce a running order, bar count, design and build a simple set and work collectively towards the recording
of a live show in a proscribed amount of ‘on-air’ time. 2) Students are introduced to a range of documentary and
factual programme making. Individually or in pairs they conceive and pitch a proposal for a short factual programme.
Small production teams are formed around the successful proposal and the student groups are expected to
collectively research and develop the idea. There is an emphasis on collective responsibility and problem solving.
Students are required to engage with a variety of distribution platforms and convergent media. Students write a
personal log plus a reflective and a critical analysis comparing the different production pro- cesses and their finished
programmes.
