Intermediate Television Production: TV Bootcamp

(4 Credits)

The goal of this course is to write and produce two five-episode series, each episode no more than five minutes in length. This one-semester course is an intermediate writing and production class, modeled on the practices and procedures of scripted episodic television. It explores the relationship between the Showrunner, the writers' room and the production team, where writing and production must function concurrently, a phenomenon that is unique to episodic television. It is to be show single-camera either in studio or on location, or both. This class will provide a pipeline for students wishing to cultivate their television craft skills and it will serve as an incubator for concepts that may be developed to greater length in Advanced Television.
