Television is a primary source for the transmission of information, politics, entertainment, and our collective and dispersed cultures in the United States, surpassing even film and newspaper because of its combined accessibility and visual appeals. Since its arrival on the scene at the World's Fair of 1939, TV has been the site through which we engage with any number of issues and events--from the most intimate to the most broadly social. The History of Television as a course is therefore a "cultural history" course; in other words, we examinenot only the chronological development of television as a technology and an industry, but we explore also how television has become a part of our histories and, indeed, how TV has shaped history and our sense of it. 3 CREDI TS

Aesthetics and Storytelling I is the foundational course for future work in the TV Department. Whether you are aiming to be a director, writer, producer, or editor, the fundamentals of aesthetics in relation to TV are crucial to doing well in any of these areas. In this course we learn how to choose the right shots and how to construct a coherent sequence, as if we are constructing clear and understandable sentences (the sequence) out of the best words possible (the shot). To learn this skill, we at times break down things even further, focusing on the elements of shot construction (mise-en-scene, lighting, color, compositional balance and framing, perspective, etc.). Because these "words and sequences" are a specialized language,this course will emphasize becoming proficient in terminology so that you can communicate with those whom you are trying to "reach"--from a crew you are a part of to a crew youare directing, and ultimately to the TV viewer who wants to hear your story. In Aesthetics II, we will expand on these "ABC's" thelp you develop your own voice as a storyteller. 3 CREDI TS

This is a basic speech course incorporating skills of the media age: sound-bites, correct visual support, appropriate dress, body language and eye contact, speeches of persuasion, exposition demonstration, and motivation. 3 CREDI TS
