The terms address premieres, websites, distribution rights, and clarify that BTV must notify productions before selling or distributing their work under the BTV name. It concludes by posing questions about revenue sharing if a show directly sells episodes and whether BTV should assist with distribution and sales.
This contract is between Brown University Student Television (BTV) and a Brown University affiliated entity for the rental of BTV equipment. The renting party agrees to take responsibility for any damages to the equipment and return it on time to avoid late fees. If equipment is lost or stolen, the renting party must report it immediately and may be financially responsible for replacing the item. Damages, lost, or stolen equipment may result in the suspension of future equipment rentals for the renting group. The contract details the rental period, equipment rented, purpose of rental, and signatures of the BTV and renting party representatives.

Brown Television (BTV) is the student-run television station at Brown University. It provides equipment and experience in film production, management, marketing, and web streaming. BTV has three divisions - Station, Programming, and Production. The Station division oversees finances, PR, and web affairs to support the other divisions. Programming designs and operates the 24/7 live streaming channel. Production facilitates equipment access and training for events, documentaries, and studio productions. BTV is managed by an 8-person Executive Board led by the BTV President.
The document provides guidelines for working at Brown Television (BTV) in a professional manner. It lists the executive board members and emphasizes the need to adopt a professional attitude to secure funding and present BTV as a competent organization. Specific guidelines include communicating schedule changes, taking notes to pass on institutional knowledge, addressing concerns through proper channels, separating personal and work relationships, dressing professionally for meetings, and prioritizing work efficiency through respect and encouraging discussion. While the staff is young, they should not use age as an excuse and should exemplify professionalism from the start. Adopting this mindset will help BTV quickly achieve its goals.

25. Argument
We've been using a demo that will expire at the end of
this term. We know it works well and it is the only
way we will be able to broadcast next year. Without
this, BTV cannot function.
26. This price is with the educational discount. Without
discount it is $1200. We have looked into getting a
license through CIS, but have been told that we would
have to get our own copy. BTV absolutely
necessitates FinalCut Pro in its studio. Working off of
media lab computers would defeat the purpose and
organizational structure of BTV. This purpose is to
develop a hub of services and resources within BTV
walls for BTV. In order to create programs, we will
need localized editing for the efficient execution of
this creation. Additionally, the frequency of BTV's
use of FinalCut Pro would be unfair for media lab
users and problematic for BTV's functioning.

these are actually the chepeast windscreens around,
and they are made specifically for our microphones!
Stability of the microphone, and thus sound, comes
with these basic grips.
These microphones kits meet our minimum standards.
They are some of the cheapest kits, but do not include

27. These microphones kits meet our minimum standards.
They are some of the cheapest kits, but do not include
everything we will need for effective sound in the
field.
Stands are crucial to stable sound capturing, especially
so in sets for television production.
This professional boom pole can extend to eight feet
long.
Argument
Many of the cables we are working with or either non-
functional or have been replaced out of pocket by
BTV members. Because we are not yet running, we
cannot know what cables we will be missing. We need
a side fund for this situation, as we are expecting to
purchase many cables for production.

Argument
We were going to ask for stands separately, but we
found this! A stand, a reflector, an umbrella, a cable—
this takes care of a lot we need.
In an everchanging set, rolling lights allow efficient
changes and more opportunities.
We can't find the cost of sandbags on the internet, so
we're throwing a modest figure out there. It's this or
buy 6 $13.50 “counterweight bags” from BH photo.
Ridiculous isn't it?
28. We have to learn how to do these things don't we?
Film lighting is often more complicated and
meaningful than tv lighting, which is why we are
requesting this additional filmography video.
This is part of a master class series. This is not just a
tutorial, but an actual cinematographer explaining how
he actually lit a movie. Invaluable information.

Argument
Several models exist at different price points, and $75
is a bit more than the minimum amount of funds that
we would need to make sure the dolly could be
created and created well. Materials include pvc pipes,
boards of wood, various metal parts, and sturdy
wheels (the most important part). In addition, we need
to put a push bar and a cameraman's chair on the
dolly. We will naturally try to get all of our materials
from Hardware stores, hrift stores, and the like.
29. There are models that can be made for a minimum of
$10. These funds allow us to make multiple figrigs
with a bit of comfort room.
We are going to start a collection of dvd tutorials and
books that will help future generations of BTV
members how to do the things we are learning to do,
so that they will not be stuck with equipment they do
not know how to work, like we were left with. We
have a few books in mind but will need to order them
as we come across them.
We are looking into the construction of a Depth of
Field adaptor that would allow us to have a shallower
depth of field with a video camera.
Argument
Since the vast majority of what we'll be broadcasting
will be done from a computer, we will need a lo of
storage to hold the large video files.
This is important in order to convert our collection of
VHS tapes into digital files. Jad Joseph has personally
done research and found this to be the most effective
and inexpensive device.
Since we'll be working on video production, having a
large monitor will be necessary to do the video editing
adequately. For twenty bucks more than the peer
product we can get 4 more inches of screen!
Argument
Folders, paper, ink, pens, etc.
30. The cheapest microwave oven we could find. We
already have fridges and are trying to create an office
environment where members can stay for extended
periods of time and work. Microwaves will allow for
heated food on nights and days when a long trip to the
Ratty cannot be afforded.
