Program Overview

Our Film curriculum is built around actual industry workflow, so you learn your way around a set while you’re in school. You’ll plan productions, write scripts, create storyboards, and learn how to shoot on a variety of cameras – 16mm, 35mm, HD, and more – and in a variety of styles. You’ll build sets (and break them down) on spacious soundstages and shoot on our studio backlot, hold casting calls, work on the actors’ make-up, and create special effects to enhance your films. Then, when the film is in the can, you’ll edit, work on visual effects, polish the sound, and prepare the film for viewing on the big screen.

In addition to film production, you’ll also learn photography, HD broadcast production, production budgeting, and lighting, as well as general career development skills in communication, personal finance, presentation, film history, how to market your productions, and how to prepare yourself for your first step into the film industry. To help you make that transition, we’ve also got a team of Career Development professionals that will help you polish your interviewing skills and resume and get you ready to enter the industry. In addition, our Career Development services and advisors will be available for support and assistance throughout your career – not just during your education.
