Presentation Details:

Objective of the presentation is to show how the television production process utilizes similar disciplines of initiating, planning, executing, controlling, and closing of a project/work to achieve specific goals and meet specific success criteria. I hope to achieve the objective through a presentation of how I trained students in the Intro to Community Television Class to successfully produce a 1-hour cable television show.
