To provide a useful, informative and educative training course for broadcasters who want to produce informative, educative and entertaining breakfast television programming.
The course will examine the existing styles of breakfast television around the Baltic Sea Region, and look at other examples from Europe, Asia and the United States.
To give broadcasters an increased skills capacity to help enable them transform their creative thoughts into a credible on-screen production. The course will consist of both theoretical and practical application to help extend the abilities of the participants.
OVERVIEW
The five-day course will be heavily practical with hands on knowledge from the trainer and the participants. Each participant will be asked to provide examples of breakfast television from their country, or better, from their own station.
The course will analyse the different – and similar – approaches to breakfast television around the Baltic Sea Region, and further afield.
The course will pose the theory that while breakfast television must be a quality service to the viewers, it needn’t be as serious or heavyweight in its approach as, for example, the six o’clock news in the evening.
This breakfast television course will also debate the vexed issue of what is quality television? The benchmark set by one organisation or regulatory body may not be the same as that of another. We contrast the editorial ethos that is displayed by a range of broadcasters – and examine why a particular story is the lead item on one and not the other.
The course will include practical production techniques in camera operation, digital editing, story treatment, pieces to camera and live two-ways.
On the final day of the course, the participants will produce a pilot version of the television programme format they agree to be the best for breakfast broadcasting.
