TELEVISION STUDIO

The educational television studio is a structural division of the university, in particular of the Institute of Television, Film and Theatre, where the practical training of students, whose specialities are Journalism, Cinema and Television Art, is carried out.

Professional editors, camera-men and video engineers, who help the students in realization of their creative plans, work at the studio. At the studio there are all conditions for this purpose: the film-making premises, technically equipped specially for studio shooting; two assembly stations: linear and nonlinear. The shootings are carried out with digital cameras in mini DV and professional – Betacam - formats.

The students have an opportunity to make their own creative works, course and diploma papers, under the management and with the help of both studio workers and teachers.

„This Day in History”, a daily program shown on National TV Educational channel, has been created by the students at the studio since December, 2002. The students collect information, process it, work as editors, write scripts to their programs, and also act as TV hosts.

One more weekly program – "Educational News", created by the KIU students - has been shown on the National channel since February, 2003. It is the news about school and students’ life. The students do on-the-spot news reports, write news stories, take direct part in montage. The topics and ideas concerning the programs are offered by students, they prepare the scripts of programs either.

Due to such opportunities the students get acquainted practically with the "kitchen" of television journalism, improve their skills of reporters, editors, TV hosts and directors.

At the end of a working week the students, who take part in the educational process at the television studio, look through their works, discuss them, make remarks and proposals. As a result of the weekly work, the reviews of programs in general and of each news story in particular are written.

The educational television studio keeps in touch with other broadcasting companies, including regional; with the ministries, organizations and establishments which help to create programs and find a topic.

The practical training at the studio enables every student to show and to realize himself or herself as a creative person.
