Teledramatics... what the hell is it? Well when I first came to this school, I was interested in film production and I was told that Teledramatic Arts and Technology covered the topic. I was completely taken back by the complex title. It took me a couple years to actually get into the major and it took me just as long to figure out what the title of the major meant. To tell you the truth, I still don't really know what it means exactly, but what I got out of the definitions I put together I came up with this.

Teledramatics is the combination of many medias (radio, television, theater, film, video games, internet, etc) that are either seen seperately or that correspond with eachother. Teledramatics integrates medias together for new innovations in the media world.

That was my first impression of Teledramatics. Now, however, I see that there are many meanings for the word. It is a word that is so broad that when you create a definition for it, it can be custom talored to your interests. It basically means dramas at a distance which poses the question... is a theatrical play considered teledramatic?

Television, radio, internet, and cinema can all be easily categorized as teledramatic. However, drama occurs everywhere including the world around you. So is your daily life teledramatic? Is a video game teledramatic? Those are dramas, but they aren't distant. Hopefully this class will straighten this out.

My beginning interest in TAT was production, but since I have immersed myself into the program I have become interested in everything. I really enjoy editing, effects, filming, and production. My focus however is in sound.
