This course offers you an exciting opportunity to learn how to produce and direct factual programmes for broadcast, and for a range of other purposes including documentary, education, training, public relations, current affairs, marketing, and for campaigns. It teaches - through practice and its theoretical underpinning - how programmes are made in ways that have the greatest effects on audiences, in terms of awareness, attitude or behaviour. You will learn how to conduct qualitative research for the audiences and markets for programming, and how to use that research to design, and produce programmes or series of programmes that will effectively reach, engage and motivate them. Through links with 4Rights, Channel 4 s commercial arm, talks and seminars are provided by members of Channel 4 s Commissioning and Business staff, both in Cambridge and at Channel 4 s headquarters in London. You will have the opportunity to pitch your major project to 4Rights, Channel 4 s commercial arm. 4Rights may make development funds available to you if your work, in 4Rights opinion, justifies investment. To prepare you to maximise on such opportunities the course imparts an understanding of the macro-economics of the media world. Where does funding come from? How is it best accessed? This element of the course enables you to prepare a fully-professional pitch, either for commissioners, or to those who will invest in a sound media idea. The course also teaches the skills of micro-economics: how to design, monitor and manage your programme budgets so that you maximise the effects of your spend for the best communicative effects. Throughout, you will continually put into practice the new skills as you learn them: you will spend time making programmes in small groups and as individuals that exemplify and test the principles of design, directing, production management and creativity that you are learning. It is the combination of these creative, technical, practical and management skills that make this course unique; skills that are highly sought after in the industry and which make our graduates highly employable. However, these skills are also essential for those who wish to work as independent programme makers, alone or in small companies. All teaching and practice takes place in Anglia Ruskin s Cambridge School of Art. You will be taught and supported by a specialist team, all of whom have worked in the production and broadcasting industries.
