Description:

This course is designed for senior – level students. It is designed to prepare students to succeed in the highly competitive worlds of Media Arts, Public Relations, and Marketing by giving them real-world hands-on experience in the field. It is no longer possible to expect to work in an area in isolation—all aspects of the industry are now enmeshed. The new key to success is one’s ability to manage and work within the convergence of multi­media. Reporters must work in web based media and video as well as writing copy; camera people must write, film, produce, and edit work; PR is now in charge of press releases, web presence, marketing, and media production. Simply put, the more you can move between media elements, the more you understand, the more employable you will be and the more promotable you will be. In this seminar students will work in real-life settings to create multi­media projects for clients. The Professional Seminar is designed to enable students of to prepare a professional portfolio showing broad skills.
