The Basic Production classes are free to SCAT members. This fee includes a copy of the SCAT Handbook, which details everything from the steps on how to produce a program to condensed versions of many equipment manuals. SCAT's Intermediate and Advanced classes have a small tuition fee. Since class space is limited, pre-registration is strongly recommended. All new members are required to attend an orientation before registering for classes.
Class is completed upon working on two studio shoots.
Learn the aspects of overseeing a show, and the commands to direct the crew. Understand the thinking behind the selection of shots. Master the techniques to minimize on-air mistakes and the tricks to fix them when they do happen. Members with Studio Directing certification may reserve and direct shoots in the control room and studio. Whether you want to make a public service announcement or a full documentary, these courses will teach you all the necessary steps of portable production.
