Telecommunications

Telecom offers study in the theory and practice of television production, animation and stagecraft to prepare the student to communicate in a variety of styles.  To become aware of the techniques employed in the educational, corporate and mass media arenas, the television students work with audio and visual media, including live and edited video, animation and computer graphics.  The courses feature hands-on practice in the planning, acquisition and manipulation of sound, video and computer generated sources, with emphasis on preproduction planning and working successfully in a group to achieve a desired communication goal.  The stagecraft students work with lighting, set, and sound design in practice as well as on computer.  Animation students produce pieces in a variety of genres.  Equipment and techniques common in the related industries are used in all offerings.  Although the courses provide a foundation of practical experience for entry into university television, radio, animation and technical theater programs, the curriculum provides the opportunity for students to become familiar with and to evaluate the content and method of each.
