Programme

How do you write a television format? How do you analyze a program created from a format? What is the relationship between format and TV genres? Do the formats also work for seriality? Why do people watch the same programs all over the world, from The Wheel of Fortune to Masterchef, from All you need is love to LOL? In the laboratory these questions will be addressed, with constant reference to the international television production. The laboratory provides practice in writing a paper format and the running order of a Tv Show.
