Bachelor of Arts - Film and Animation - Post-Production

The Film Major gives students a full overview of all the aspects of creating a moving image story as a movie, video, internet content, and TV episode. Students begin shooting with HD cameras their first year while taking both film history and film appreciation courses. This course of study continues with screenwriting, advance production, and post-production courses but then allows students to further explore their particular interests with a wide range of major electives. Internships and independent studies are also available. The Editing and Post Production Concentration is a rigorous course of study for students who have a special interest in the art and science of editing the moving image. Whether working in Avid, Premiere, Final Cut or any other non-linear editing system, the concepts, concerns, and artistic approaches to achieving the final edit remain the same. The Core Major Requirements are the same as the standard Film Major, thus students may elect this concentration as late as their junior year. The Editing Concentration requirements, which are a mix of cross-discipline courses, educate students in the craft and practice of post-production, enabling them to work as editors on senior student film projects to build a reel and help start them on a future career working professionally in the post-production industry.
