Art & Business of Entertainment

Catalog description

Students explore traditional and emerging models in entertainment and the impacts which social media, online service and other emerging platforms continue to have on the evolution of the industry. Students will identify and define pivotal functions and functionaries across all sectors who apply innovation, effective leadership and essential skills to produce and distribute various forms of entertainment to the masses. Through the application of a "wheel of fortune" research & analysis approach to each commercial entertainment sector, students will come to understand the multiple aspects of each (film, television, media, commercial theatre and entertainment in sports), the people who drive them and the critical functions which they serve.
