RTV143 - Advanced Media Writing

Building upon the rudiments of script formats and storyboarding learned in first year RTV radio and television production subjects, this subject concentrates on creative preparation, aural and visual writing, research methods and tools, styles and formats appropriate to the medium (live television, live radio, video, audio, multi/mixed media, business theatre), and story structure. These elements will be applied to scripting for specific program types such as news, documentary, commercial, PSA, drama, educational, and industrial.

The importance and relevance of the script as a production tool, the process of progressing from origination of an idea, through choice of medium, to production-ready script, will be stressed.

Students will be required to use appropriate script formats, storyboarding and formatting software in preparing storyboards and writing short scripts for radio, television, and industrial live/pre-packaged, and computer-generated multi media programs.

Students will also employ the principles of asset management in using traditional and electronic research tools and methods in the gathering and exchanging of information and data.

RTV704 - Media Issues

"Specialists in the field of communication must have sound ethical and aesthetic senses and an understanding of the social, political and economic worlds in which they live if they are going to make sound and reasoned judgments on the content of a message"
(Philosophy of the School of Communication Arts, Seneca College)

The purpose of this subject, MEDIA ISSUES, is to examine some of the serious issues that will face a person working in the media. The general areas of concern are government and industry regulations and policies, advertising ethics, media ethics, entertainment trends, news reporting trends and journalism coverage, Canadian identity, media as business and media ownership and? making tough decisions. The issues are complex and not easy to handle under the daily or even hourly pressure to meet deadlines for listeners, viewers or readers. A well developed ethical approach often determines how a person handles these questions. Even though many of the issues and questions discussed in Media Issues do NOT have a solution, students will learn that understanding the various viewpoints and arguments will help them make good decisions.
