OVERVIEW

Film/Video Production

This concentration allows students to concentrate in either film or video. Students have access to production and editing equipment that meets industry standards. Most students will have an opportunity to use this equipment within their first year. This concentration is designed to allow students the opportunity to experience the kind of team approach to production that is common to all areas of professional media. Students may also choose to take courses such as Scriptwriting, Directing for Film and Video, and Post-Production.

"The student to professor ratio and the hands-on approach to film making create an ideal learning environment." Brian Hennessey, Communications Media, Film student
