College Diploma - Digital Filmmaking

The primary objective of this program is to prepare students for an exciting career in the filmmaking industry by providing each student with an abundance of fundamental knowledge and skill development in narrative, documentary, music videos, factual entertainment and other genres of filmmaking.

 

While learning the skills required for visual storytelling, students will also learn the art of filmmaking by actually making films. The program centers on meticulous hands-on training whereby students work with industry standard equipment to learn professional techniques in various aspects of the filmmaking process. Each semester, students will engage in progressive learning as it relates to producing, directing and editing during both individually-based and team-oriented projects.

 

During both Intersession semesters, first and second-year students, together with their instructors, will work on developing and producing a short film which will then be screened by a public audience. Added to the practical experience Digital Filmmaking students will acquire, students will graduate with a number of certifications necessary to work in the rapidly growing and complex filmmaking industry.

 

This program will prepare and qualify students for entry-level technical positions associated with filmmaking. Graduates from this program will have a well-rounded knowledge of the filmmaking industry and gain an understanding of the many unique and rewarding career paths available within that industry.
