semester
by Sonaii IColhatkar
Meredith College is honored to have
Dr. Terry Kauffman as a distinguished
faculty member. Dr. Kauffman is an
N.C. State University communication
lecturer. She has incorporated all of
her interests into a job that fulfills her
love of television broadcasting and
production. She has also gained the
Triangle's recognition with her wedcly
cable show, “Women Today”, and her
heightening of the public’s awareness
of environmental issues.
Dr. KauHman has produced, directed
and written thirteen documentaries for
the San Francisco Environment
Center. These broadcasts helped her
win a National Broadcasting award.
She has also written “Thanksgiving”, a
drama for PBS, and she had a tele
vised art exhibit containing portraits
and songs which she composed.
Dr. Kauffoian’s proposed new
course at Meredith is entitled Televi
sion Production Design. It is a survey
of writing, directing and editing
techniques for television, video and
film. TlieOTy mid practice of
scriptwriting for news, features,
documentaries and drama will also be
covered. Students leam broadcast
journalism and writing skills, and
even write short radio and television
news pieces, a short feature or docu
mentary program for television, and a
short dramatic teleplay or screenplay.
Students study the principles of
shooting and editing for these fonnats,
including programs like “60 Minutes”,
and the difference between single
camera field shooting and multi-cam
studio production. This is primarily a
non-production course; however, an
optional lab with production capability
is offered.
There is no prerequisite and everyone
is encouraged to register for it POTmer
students sing high praises for its
ch^enging content and the fun aspect
of finding out what “really” goes on in
a production. SPE 940-A will be
