Over the 8-weeks of this stimulating discussion class beginning in January of 2021, we will be exploring different elements of broadcast writing, from a variety of genres, such as news, entertainment, and children's programming. We can dance in chairs to some of the songs while in the Zoom room and have fun in order to liven up the newscasts on our TV days! The important thing is that we will be having lively discussions to help the further understanding of broadcast media and how it can be used for good.
The focus of the time spent with the Zoom lessons here on Outschool will be on understanding and critically thinking about media in order to understand your life better, as well as, to improve your understanding of media in general that you will make.
Here is the course outline:
Week 1: Introduction to Broadcast Media and Television Writing. A bit of history of American television.
Week 2: In-class time writing some scripts to have a newscast on Zoom for the following week.
Week 3: Practice newscast.
Week 4: Real newscast and TV show.
Week 5: More in-class time working on broadcasting scripts and writing.
Week 6: Practice newscast.
Week 7: Real newscast and TV show.
Week 8: Wrap-up class with some fun outtakes from the class and an online class party with Zoom.
