MATV Training Program MATV offers a wide range of media production courses available to members of the Malden community. Our members produce in many languages and on a wide variety of subjects. During the training process, all our participants discover the power of the electronic media to mold and shape the form of the message delivered.
All members begin within a one evening orientation prior to taking any classes.
The orientation provides a guided tour of the facilities, a history of access TV and MATV, an overview of our policies and procedures, and advice on how to effectively use the resources available. MATV members can become certified in portable video production by taking the four- part Intro to Video Production course. Once the certification tape has been accepted, members can go on to produce programs to be shown on the appropriate channel. Once the Program Proposal is approved, members may book equipment according to the guidelines explained in the introductory course. It is recommended that class participants take the full Intro to Video Production course prior to taking the studio classes.
