By Michael Alexander Geyer

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2009 in the subject Communications - Movies and Television, grade: 2, St. P lten University of Applied Sciences (Department IT & Medien Medientechnik), language: English, abstract: Campus TV, short "C-TV" is the name of 30 minutes of TV program, which students of the St. P lten University of Applied Sciences Media Technology produce every month. All work in C-TVs productions is done by students.

As a result a lot of important knowledge leaves with these students. Every year a new team of students starts to work at C-TV and all necessary things for producing 30 minutes of TV have to be learned again. Next to editing, or sound mixing which students learn during the education at the St. P lten University of Applied Sciences Media Technology the important part of color correction often stays behind.

As a result most of CTVs productions since C-TV has started its productions, two years ago, did not have any color correction.
