| Semester I |
In these days of multi-tasking and CNN / BBC - style of reporting, doing the task of shooting, reporting and editing has converged to one person. The four-man army of production team has become a rare phenomenon in the television reporting arena. Additionally, infotainment television works on fixed deadlines and budgets where one has to work with a capability of multitasking so as to produce content in limited such parameters. This common semester critically analyses the evolution of television as a medium, discusses communication theories and equips the students to the multitasking environment of television programming. The students get hands-on-experience to produce small programmes independently to get enough confidence to delve into their area of specialisation. |
