Television and Video Production
 

Looking for an exciting career in the television industry? Canadore’s Broadcasting - Television and Video Production program will introduce you to practical hands-on training and help you progress to become the creator of your own material. Our 45 x 60-foot dual grid studio facility is used for a wide variety of productions including entertainment shows, newscasts and short drama productions.

Electronic Field Production (EFP) and editing are an integral part of the curriculum. Our excellent working relationship with the local cable company provides our students with access to a mobile production truck through our Multicam course.

You will work in teams on a number of projects that will develop your production and post-production skills. Our emphasis on transferable work skills combined with a commitment to meeting technical standards has earned the Broadcasting-Television and Video Production program a solid reputation in the industry. Our work experience opportunities provide graduating students with the opportunity to enhance their skill sets and make contact with potential employers.

Our program is always evolving to meet new trends and changes in this exciting field. Our small class sizes and concentrated hands-on approach allow for an enhanced learning environment for all our students.
