# How Live Broadcast Works

## Capstone

### Live or as-live programme

Produce a timed programme in which every role, signal, recovery path, access decision, and final record can be reviewed after the event.

## Workload

24-28 hours, including guided modules, practice, revision, QC, and reflection.

## Deliverables

- Format, rundown, crew, and communications plan
- Camera, audio, graphics, clip, and access plan
- Full system map and preflight evidence
- Two failure rehearsals and incident log
- Twelve-to-twenty-minute live or as-live programme
- Captions/transcript, QC, archive, and individual reflection

## Constraints

- The default audience is the classroom or approved school network.
- A stop, hold, fill, and emergency communication path must be tested before the final run.
- Every student must have a meaningful role that can be performed off-camera if needed.
