Television Production ,A Free, Interactive Course in Studio and Field Production.

These materials contain more than 800 color illustrations.
Occasionally you may have to reload a page if an illustration does not initially appear.

Q I wonder about "free" services. Who is behind CyberCollegeÃ‚Â® and the InternetCampusÃ‚Â®?

A I understand a certain amount of suspicion about "free" Internet services, but in this case there is no commercial "hidden agenda" behind the television production or mass media materials. If the instructional materials contain any type of "spin" it is to value freedom in newsgathering and to encourage social responsibility. However, other writers at these sites are free to offer their opinions on topics.

As a service to our users, CyberCollege and the InternetCampus carry links to external services. We have no commercial ties to any company and we derive no income from any of these external services. At the same time, we have no control over the content or policies of external services and we can in no way assume any responsibility for the content.

A Final
Word

With Module 70, we come to the end of this TV Production cybertextbook.

These modules have covered the essential "tools of the trade." As critical as these tools are, television productions that win awards and provide audiences with ideas, information, and emotional experiences that stick with them involve much more than the basic tools. This beyond the basics discussion sheds light on this.

This cybertextbook is a work in progress. Nothing related to a dynamic and rapidly changing field such as TV production can afford to stand still.

If you check back in a few weeks or months, you will note that new ideas and techniques have been added to the modules. Therefore, reviewing the material from time to time will not only keep the material fresh in your mind, but it will enable you to keep you up to date on new developments.

If you find a problem with the content, a broken link, or if spelling or grammatical errors have slipped through, I would appreciate your bringing it to my attention.

Finally, you may recall that this free cyberbook has one string attached.

If you use this material in developing your talent to produce effective television programming, you need to "pay" for the material by at least once producing something to aid people or conditions in the world.

If you need some ideas http://[img]http://www.cybercollege.....gif[/img]consider this.

If you don't go into the field professionally, here is your "price." A textbook of this type would cost at least $50 (probably much more, with all the color illustrations). Consider your time worth $25 an hour and devote at least two hours to doing something positive and totally selfless for some person or agency.

That's it.

If you do either of these, you've paid for the material and your conscience will be clear.

Here's wishing you great success in your chosen field.
