Movie Making
Movie Making provides a theoretical, aesthetic, and hands-on foundation for creating both dramatic and documentary films and videos. The program offers a solid background in the theoretical, technical, and economic aspects of filmmaking. Experience on professional film sets helps prepare students to work in today’s motion picture and television industry. In addition to hands-on experience in camera set-ups, lighting, shooting and editing, students explore topics in literature, communication, and history. The most important element of any film or television show is the story, students learn how to write and express stories within the visual media.
