Work placement opportunity
I owe so much of my professional development to my degree. Public speaking and writing press releases, are all skills I learnt on my course.
Your first year of study will ground you in the essential skills of television production. You’ll explore multiple genres while looking back at TV history. Your course tutors will train you in a mix of practical and theoretical work, deepening your understanding. Other areas of study will include narrative storytelling and studio practice, as well as optional modules such as photography and global popular culture.
Moving Image Production: Single Camera develops your ability in relation to collaborative working and the professional practices and processes involved in managing a single camera production, from pre-production to post-production stage. The module provides you with the opportunity to combine the technical skills of camera operation, lighting, sound, editing and aesthetic considerations in the production of a piece of creative work. Operating within the conventions of fiction or factual production, you will work as part of a production team for some of this module, while also being required to work independently to develop and produce a range of documents that inform the production of the final moving image product.

Narrative Storytelling
Narrative Storytelling recognises that good stories are at the heart of all television. This can be the story of the sloth (who ideally wants to stay put) making their painful way through the Madagascan forest to find their mate as Planet Earth II (BBC One, 2016) gave us, or the story of a mafia boss whose job is making him increasingly anxious (The Sopranos, HBO, 1999-2007). What these short summaries indicate is that often at the heart of the stories themselves lie key conflicts that are developed around key oppositional pairs. These conflicts are often played out in central characters, or sometimes in opposing ones or groups, such as the Starks versus the Lannister’s in Game of Thrones (HBO, 2011-2019). In this module, you will learn the basics of how stories on television work, develop your own ideas for scenes and overarching narratives, and consider some of the specifics such as notions of segmentation, serialisation, and series versus serials. The module will help you to understand that narratives are always developed for an audience and will therefore focus on the more prosaic side of script development, namely understanding broadcasters/platforms and other logistical elements of script preparation.

Studio Practice
Studio Practice introduces the practices and processes of working in a production studio environment. A series of hands-on interactive production boot-camps will introduce the core skills required for a television production, providing you with an understanding of how to operate professionally and collaboratively to produce a project in a studio context. You will also experience a series of workshops and lectures that are designed to develop practical skills for key technical roles. Through the process of creating short group productions, you will gain an understanding of the basic principles of studio craft including how to communicate professionally and efficiently with fellow crew, how to recognise hazards and minimise risks on the studio floor, and how to demonstrate an awareness of procedures through the creation of relevant production documentation.

TV History: From Analogue to Streaming
TV History: From Analogue to Streaming questions whether conventional television is finished. It also asks whether we are all streaming Netflix, why so many people are concerned about the BBC potentially becoming a subscription service, and why there are calls to regulate streaming services more effectively. This module provides a historical perspective, but it also gives answers to the questions that affect what is happening now. Looking back to where television started and how it was shaped over the years allows us to form a better understanding of reactions to current developments, enabling us to evaluate the developments from a more informed, and perhaps more critical, stand point. You will investigate the early beginnings of broadcasting under John Reith, move onto the post-war development of television, and examine the ‘cosy duopoly’ that existed until the 1980s between the licence-fee funded BBC and the commercially funded ITV. The module will then continue to look at the explosion of channels from the latter 1980s through to the current so-called ‘multiplatform’ age. While the focus will be on the history of television in the UK, the close relationship between British and American broadcasting will be acknowledged, as will the role of British broadcasting across the rest of the world. The increasing convergence of the industries of broadcasting (radio and television), film and new media will also be examined.

You will examine the television, film, animation, music, print, performing arts and online digital industries while also developing research skills.

As such, the module will examine elements of pop-culture from a variety of nations and facilitate discussions of culture, popular culture and global and national markets and trends.

In your second year of our BA (Hons) Television, you’ll step out of your comfort zone and produce a wealth of creative content – from children’s television to branded content. Other modules cover TV drama, fan culture, festivals and production management. These contextual studies will help you to make informed and insightful practical work.
Children’s Television provides you with the opportunity to produce work aimed at this large, and growing, market.

Dedicated channels – national and international, terrestrial, cable and satellite – are constantly searching for new and innovative content. It is an area which demands a clear understanding of the different types and age groups of the young audience, whether producing educational content for pre-school, news shows for adolescents, or drama for young teens. It is also an area where narrative and stylistic innovation are welcome and where programme makers are actively encouraged to try new forms and experiment with delivery. Every major broadcaster has a dedicated website streaming trailers, as well as interactive and sample content. This module examines current children’s broadcasting in terms of its entertainment, educational and informative content, examines how to develop content suitable for a specified audience, and provides you with experience of originating and developing material for a children’s television project.
