N234               Putting The Multi Into Multimedia

PAC, COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY 

 

                                    In 1992 the World Wide Web was invented by Tim Berners-Lee. 

Communication academics were quick to realize that the Web offered exciting new avenues for the communication curriculum.  It’s now 10 years later and Multimedia is still growing as a part of the curriculum while many universities have even introduced a major in the subject.  How are we doing with all the new technologies that Multimedia embraces?  This panel will address ideas and issues that we’ve encountered in opening up the curriculum to the Web and the other forms of Multimedia such as games, instructional multimedia and interactive digital television.

N231               How Can College Radio Compete with Commercial Radio?

STUDENT MEDIA ADVISORS 

 

Universities have tried to offer their radio students an education to

prepare them for real world radio.  However, universities and

student media advisors have shortchanged their students by

allowing them to create a “free for all” on air.  College radio

stations are ditching “playpen schizophrenia” for consistent

formats and playlists, and the results are jaw dropping.  Find out

how to compete and give your students a world-class education at

the same time.  This panel will also discuss radio station benefits

from increased listeners and underwriting, university benefits from

increased enrollment and student benefits from increased job

placement.

N238               Actors and Cameras: A Marriage Made In…?

                        PAC, CCA, NEWS

 

The film and television industry has on a tremendous need for qualified young performers to work on small budget projects that are perfect experience builders for both actors and directors.  Unfortunately, the academic structure at many universities is not overly supportive of interdepartmental offerings that provide experience to both disciplines.  This panel will demonstrate how educators from media and theater departments have collaborated with industry professionals to create “Acting for Camera” programs at both the University and State levels.   Panelists will share their experiences in:  a) developing a joint curriculum that addresses the technical and aesthetics needs of both departments-- including the scheduling of facilities and creation of appropriate activities; b) explain the benefits of collaborating with an accomplished TV/Film professional; c) present a frank discussion of university politics and offer suggestions on how resources and FTE can be shared; d) offer an administrative perspective on the challenges and benefits of offering such programs.

N232               The Writer’s Challenge:  Telling the Story through Action and Behavior 

WRITING

 

One of the biggest challenges to writers of screenplays for television or film is telling the story through the actions and behaviors of the characters.  While such elements as dialogue and characterization are obviously important, good screenplays draw the audience in by allowing the story to unfold as the characters do things rather than just say things.  Some writers have argued that behavior is the essence of screen drama because the camera can show subtle actions and expressions that would be invisible on the stage.  But among the key issues is how much behavioral detail writers can get away with.  Directors and actors don't want writers intruding into their territory.  And scripts that have overly dense physical descriptions are hard to read and agents and producers often regard them as amateurish.   This panel will investigate such writing issues and also look at ways to teach student writers about the importance of action and behavior in their scripts.  Panelists will show videotaped scenes and discuss how writers scripted key actions.

While the technological tools of the media’s future are largely identified, the content that will drive them -- and how the content will use these new technologies -- has not been so well defined.   What programming/content should we be preparing our students to produce for the future’s multiple platforms?  If content will still be king, what should our students be learning to effectively address the audience and converged media of the future?  Are professors teaching programming and production from the traditional paradigm about to become extinct?
