An overview of current TV program broadcast. Knowledge of Czech TV works.

Recommended optional programme components:

Course contents:

First is an oral presentation in school approximately 8 hours long.

The fundamental part of instruction occurs in the form of a structured excursion to the Czech Television workplace. This originates in the fact that Czech Television has the most complete production line.

We will follow the classical division of image and sound post-production.

Important is the introduction to the placement of individual workplaces, personal contact with the technology used, shift workers and dispatchers.

This originates in the idea that students may be future Czech Television workers, co-producers or customers.

In all these cases, a detailed knowledge of the potential, including time and price, will be appropriate for them.

A direct introduction to the important particulars of television production, that is, live broadcast is considered also interesting.

This prestigious production discipline will be presented by, among others, programs such as The Czech Lion Awards, Athlete of the Year, and the like.

In image and sound production, the production of film using off-line technology/Lightworks/, DA VINCI color correction, Fairlight digital sound recording, Dolby Digital sound mixing equipment, the film lab and others will be presented.
