Studio and Field Production Classes
Note: Classes are only for those who will produce or work on
television programs for showing
on the Citizens Television channels.
Citizens Television offers video training classes in
both
field production (remote video recording) and
studio
production throughout the year, with limited
classes from
June thru August. These classes are
available *FREE to residents and
full-time
students in the New Haven,
West Haven and
Hamden (CT) area. Persons who work
or volunteer at
non-profit organizations (including
religious institutions)
in the three towns may,
regardless
of where
they live, also
take classes and produce
programs exclusively for the
organization.
The classes, the use of the field equipment,of the studio, and of
the editing facilities are all provided *free of charge.
Our equipment is designed to be lightweight and easy to
operate. The CTV staff will continue to be available with
ongoing technical help and further training from the beginning of projects to the completed program. When the
show is completed, CTV will provide free air time for
telecasting the show (no commercial content or promotion, permitted). Students who successfully complete the course
training will become certified producers (field or studio or
both) at CTV.
Some students may choose to only complete certain studio modules (camera, audio, graphics, lighting, etc.) to assist
with CTV productions rather than create their own studio productions. They can be certified on that module, but
will
not
be a certified producer. Only certified producers
may take out equipment and book CTV studio production
facilities.
Module training does not apply to field production
classes, as there are only two modules (camera and editing), and
both must be completed for the student to use either as
a
producer.
CTV reserves the right to assess a training fee of $350.00
on
any student who completes any module of field
or studio
production training but does not provide any programming
or production services to CTV.O
Orientation
At orientation information will be provided about CTV,
public access, what may be expected from CTV staff, and
what will be expected of the students and eventual producers. A copy of the
CTV Rules and Procedures and
a tour of the studio will also be provided.
Class Schedule
We now provide classes on an intensified basis in order to
speed up the certification process. Both of the field classes
(Field Cameras and Editing) are taught in a single day over
an eight (8) hour period, or in two half day sessions. Studio
production is taught either in a four consecutive days format
(1pm-5pm), evenings (5pm-9pm) in four-hour classes,or
in 4 consecutive weeks, one day or evening in each week in four-hour sessions. Certified field producers may take out CTV Field Equipment (camera, tripod, light kit, microphone, etc.) to shoot footage outside of CTV. Studio producers may book and utilize the CTV studio for live and recorded studio productions. All producers must put their programs on CTV first.
NOTE: RESIDENTS DO NOT NEED TO TAKE A COURSE OR BE A PRODUCER TO PUT PRE-RECORDED PROGRAMS ON CTV. SIMPLY FILL OUT THE ACCESS APPLICATION AND pROGRAM PROPOSAL BELOW AND BRING TO CTV WITH PROOF OF RESIDENCY.
