Prerequisite: JOUR603 and JOUR660. This class will take an analytical look at sports TV and sports content by deconstructing shows. We will examine the producer's role in creating the look, feel and direction of shows and learn how to choose a lead story, how to "tease" effectively and the importance of identifying and telling good stories. We will watch live televised sporting events to better understand the techniques used by directors and producers. Students will get hands-on experience with BTN2 and learn all aspects of live game production.
