Learning outcomes
The course traces the development and current trends of so-called quality television. The aesthetic and evaluative concept of high-production television has appeared in television landscapes since the 1980s. In terms of the evolution of this category, however, it has undergone considerable change. The seminar therefore focuses on both the early forms of these television programmes and the current forms. The course takes into account not only the textual characteristics of this television production, but also highlights the industrial, marketing and institutional-technological parameters that influence quality TV.
Students will learn to critically view and analyze current and historical manifestations of quality television.
Prerequisites
The course has no prerequisities. Freely complements to Introduction to TV studies, Genres and Formats of TV and TV theory courses.
