In the Film and New Media profile, you will progressively master the fundamentals of writing, shooting, recording sound, and editing, whether in fiction film, television, animation, radio or any number of multi-media platforms. Through written and visual communication, you will sharpen your creative abilities, critical thinking, and academic skills.
The courses take place in our exciting television studio, workshop spaces and digital lab.

In the filmmaking classes, you will invent your own stories and learn how to bring these ideas to screen. You will also have the chance to experiment in special effects and animation as well as develop your sense of critical thinking through subjects that vary from film history to the analysis of contemporary visual culture.
