Course Description

In this course, you will reflect on broadcast (TV, radio, film) media, and the production techniques that support them. You will focus on the roles of the audience and broadcaster, and other contextual issues. As well, you will further develop your collaborative and production skills in radio and television media from pre-production to post-production.

The course also integrates work based learning and academic learning, commonly referred to as work integrated learning (WIL), which allows you to solve authentic industry problems or address real issues faced in organisations.

Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to:

  • review and articulate the inter-relationships of the audience and broadcasters in media production
  • develop and produce a simple project suitable for broadcast on radio
