You will be introduced to contemporary working practice for non-scripted tv and multi-platform content. Content in this module will be practice-led and will require you to collaborate together to devise, research and produce a completed short or pilot non-scripted programme. You will approach this task with professional rigour and each production group will allocate specific roles and responsibilities to each member of the team. Within these groups you will present a commissioning pitch and complete a pre-production portfolio for which you will receive formative feedback. Each group will then produce, film and edit the final non-scripted programme. You will also reflect on the progress of your group and on the development of your individual knowledge and skills. This will involve analysing and evaluating how your work relates to contemporary developments in broadcast television, multi-platform content and other creative media, particularly in the Scottish context.
