Sithengi is just around the corner. To get delegates from Gauteng prepared, CityVarsity is offering two unique and intense courses.
"Pitching" is an intensive three-day competency-based course to turn delegates into world-class pitchers of films and TV programmes.
"Audience Psychology" is also three-days and enables delegates to get into the mid of a mass audience and find out what makes them tick.
These SAQA compliant, outcomes-based Short Courses are based on a decade of integrity and success enjoyed by CityVarsity in trendy Kloof Street in the heart of Cape Town's film industry. They are directed to enterprise standards, assessed and competencies are certificated.
Howard Thomas, who has been working in the entertainment and media industry for 36 years and who himself is a SAQA-qualified trainer, assessor and quality assurance manager, has designed and will run the courses.
Besides assessing competencies, the courses include full interactive workbooks, a library of resources, and opportunities for personal coaching and consultancy.
"Pitching" has developed over five years. It takes learners right through the early stages of conceptualisation; introduces them to broadcaster secrets, and develops people who can make pitching skills work for them. The recent season in Cape Town was highly celebrated.
"Audience Psychology" has always been run in-house and privately. This is the first time it has been opened to the profession at large. It gives delegates the skills to get into the mind of the audience in all media, formats and genres.
The courses will be run at the IMM Training Centre on:
Pitching: 11, 12, 13 October
Audience Psychology: 14, 17, 18 October
