Television and Production

Create and shoot your own material, scripts, shows and more! This course is perfect for any students interested in learning the skills of television and video production – both in front of the camera and behind the camera.

Centenary owns our own television broadcasting and production facilities, and our television programming is broadcast on local Channel 23. Students have the opportunity to experience all phases of television and video production.

We have divided the projects into two areas of focus – weeks 1 and 3 focus on in-house production, and weeks 2 and 4 give students the chance work on-site and in the field. We highly recommend attending one week of each.

In all sessions, students edit their work on professional equipment and take home a DVD of their finished project. Students also become conversant in the latest video technology, so they can prepare their work for a variety of traditional and online formats.

Weeks 1 & 3
These sessions feature work in the College’s TV station. Students learn the basics of the three-camera shoot, and have a chance to work on both sides of the camera. Discover how critical lighting and sound are to a quality production. Use our editing switch to learn non-linear editing. Mix the sound, create innovative transitions, and create a piece you will be proud of!

Weeks 2 & 4
These sessions feature on-site work. Shooting outside the studio is different – in everything from lighting to sound to camera set-up – and it requires a different set of tools and skill sets. Instead of using the in-studio three camera set-up, students use field cameras, tripods, and wireless microphones as well as learn about recording and location management. Classmates are both the talent and the production teams!
