FILM HISTORY & CONTEXT

By studying a diverse canon of great films and filmmakers, students will gain a broad understanding of the history and socio-historical contexts of American and global film, television and emerging media to inspire them to create transformative works of their own.

STORYTELLING 

Students will master the methods of fiction or non-fiction storytelling - through screenwriting, creative producing, cinematography and lighting, directing, post-production picture editing, and post-production sound - to create content with unique cinematic expression, engaging dramatic structure, and technical craft mastery.

VOICE AND CREATIVITY

By analyzing past historical works and applying technical and storytelling skills, students will be able to produce works with a strong personal voice that show vision and imagination.

COLLABORATION

Students will work constructively to problem solve and collaborate in diverse teams to create impactful media.
