Graduate Certificate - Advanced Television and Film (PATAF)

Sheridan College Advanced Television and Film Studies program (ATVF) integrates the practical, technical and creative aspects of television and film studies while providing direct, industry-relevant experience. Students will develop their creativity while gaining the specialized skills they need to bring their ideas and vision to life on the screen. They will also acquire an understanding of new technologies and production methods, enabling them to stay current. Sheridan College's instructors and production facilities rank second to none among film schools in Canada. Students work in professional surroundings, learn from practicing filmmakers with years of industry experience, and be immersed in the culture of the television and film industry — and, in just one academic year, they can become part of it. In the technical areas, camera students will work in professional-style camera teams coached by industry gaffers, 1st ACs and cinematographers. Students shoot on both documentary and cinema cameras. Audio students are trained in software such as Pro Tools. Sheridan has two industry-style mixing theatres for audio mix playback. Students can screen their final films on a cinema-size screen with an industry-quality projector and a Dolby surround-sound environment.
