About Bachelor of Arts - Cinema and Television Arts - Film Production

The Film Production option includes the conceptualization, production, directing, editing and distribution of cinema projects. In order to qualify for the Film Production option, a student must earn the appropriate grades in the designated prerequisite courses for Film Production, submit a portfolio and have that portfolio approved by the Film Production Faculty. Once a student’s portfolio is approved, the student’s major would be designated as “CTVA/Film Production.” Should a student’s portfolio not be approved, the student may remain a CTVA major, but would need to select another option. The student may resubmit a portfolio for approval once, in a succeeding semester, if denied on the first attempt. Students intending to enter the Film Production option must pass CTVA 250 with a grade of “B-” or better. Deadline dates and portfolio format requirements can be found on the Department of Cinema and Television Arts website.

At the end of the program of study, students will be able to:
  • Identify and critically analyze the fundamental components and aesthetics of audiovisual storytelling.
  • Develop and write scripts for fiction and nonfiction audiovisual productions.
  • Demonstrate knowledge of historical, cultural, critical, theoretical and emergent aspects of media arts.
  • Demonstrate the skills necessary to manage entertainment business structures and to produce, research, and/or present an entertainment industry or other media project.
  • Demonstrate the skills, knowledge and problem-solving abilities that are pertinent in a professional setting.
