This is a practice-led unit which offers direct experience of the approaches used in media composition today in radio and televisual media. The sessions consider the appropriate use of the latest studio techniques with or without live resources, working to a brief, working to a budget, the variety of genre (such as the Documentary) and considerations of style in relation to the target audience.The unit brings together techniques taught in the Professional Techniques unit and also includes in situ experience of a media composer's studio and the professional cutting room (e.g. at BBC Bristol or London), and an introduction to the musical business world and approaches to self-promotion in the industry.
