A. Any individual, family, or organizational
member which meets the conditions set forth in Section I is
eligible for training. The prerequisite for all uses at NewTV, as
well as for most other training courses, is the Introduction to
Video Production, a 2-session, overview course in TV program
production. Workshops are given under the direction of the NCAC
staff or by a person appointed at the discretion of NCAC.
B. Certification as a COMMUNITY PRODUCER is awarded upon completion of the Basic Training
Courses.
C. Workshop
schedules are distributed to all members through the NCAC
newsletter and are posted on the Community Bulletin Board.
Those wishing to take classes must sign up for them on a
first-come, first-served basis. There is no charge for these
courses; however failure to attend a class for which you are
registered and confirmed without giving NCAC 24 hours notice will
result in a fine of $15.00, which must be paid before further
work at the access center.
D. Workshops are offered periodically in Advanced Television
Production Techniques. These workshops require prerequisite
training and are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
In order to take advanced portable or advanced editing classes,
the community producer must have produced a program for
cablecast.
E. For a one-time fee of $15, members will receive a series of
course materials in each class.
F. Experienced videographers may be certified and by-pass classes
by:
- providing a demo reel or letter of reference; and...
- demonstrating proficiency with each piece of equipment
requested, by passing the same certification test required of all
community producers.
G. Annual re-certification of community producers will
automatically take place with renewal of membership, so long as
the community producer has been involved in an NCAC-based
production in the previous six months of their membership.
