What you will learn

Gain real command of the live production gallery

Every module is taught on working broadcast equipment, so you build muscle memory for the pressure of a live transmission.

Multi-camera switching

Cut between four to eight cameras in time with the director, from chat shows to live music.

Live broadcasting techniques

Learn the rhythm of transmission: countdowns, cues, talkback and keeping calm on air.

Keys, graphics and transitions

Build clean mixes, lower thirds and DVE moves that support the story rather than distract.

Gallery communication

Master the language of the gallery so every cue is clear, calm and understood first time.

Real-time video operation

Operate replay, playout and streaming encoders with confidence while the show is running.

Production management

Plan running orders, crews and budgets for television and streaming productions that finish on time.

Our tutors

Learn from people who work in the gallery every week

Our tutors cut, direct and engineer live shows for UK broadcasters and streaming platforms, then bring that experience into the room.

Learn on the same desks used in real broadcast galleries

From your first lesson you sit at a working vision mixer with live cameras, so confidence builds fast and bad habits never take hold.

  • Learn in a safe rehearsal gallery before every live run
  • Work with multiview walls, tally and intercom exactly as on air
  • Understand signal routing so you can fix faults, not just press buttons
