What is the job of\u00a0 the TV Director?\u00a0 Making an observational documentary or reality show might feel like an entirely different game from a drama, or a studio comedy show – but many of the same principles apply.\u00a0 With examples from his own and others’ work in theatre and in television,\u00a0Nick Bamford<\/strong>\u00a0(visiting from Bournemouth University) explores the fundamentals of the director’s role.<\/p>\n Bamford joined the academic staff at Bournemouth in 2010 directly from a lengthy and varied career as a freelance TV and theatre Producer and Director. He has directed and\/or produced everything from drama, documentary and factual entertainment for all the major networks through corporate films and promotions to workout tapes, both in the studio and on location. This amounts to well over 100 programmes amongst which perhaps the best known titles have been The Antiques Roadshow, Top Gear, Doctors, Gardeners’ World, Location, Location, Location, Return to Tuscany and The One Show. Prior to his freelance work he was on staff at the BBC as a Studio Manager in Radio and then Assistant Producer and Producer in Television Presentation where he directed both BBC1 & 2 networks as well as making on-screen promotions. His eclectic career has also included writing, producing and directing for the theatre, specifically new writing and the classics. He has run two theatre companies, his own FOD Productions (of which he was founder and Artistic Director) and Bristol’s award-winning Show of Strength Theatre Company of which he was joint Artistic Director. Two of his plays have been produced professionally.<\/p>\n (Special Projects, Colloquium Series)<\/p>\n Location: Conference Center, 7th Floor, University Hall<\/p>\n Leading political journalists will take the stage at 精品成人福利在线 University to talk about New Jersey Governor Chris Christie on Monday, January 26.\u00a0Tracking Chris Christie: A Conversation with Political Journalists<\/em>\u00a0is a free special event, produced by the 精品成人福利在线 University School of Communication and Media\u2019s Center for Cooperative Media and WNYC.
