Certificate in Film Production
The Certificate in Film Production is designed to help students develop expertise in all the areas of film including screenwriting, acting, directing, and producing as well as the technical aspects of film and digital video production.
Students participate fully in the production structure of filmmaking in a variety of positions such as camera operator, cinematographer, director and screenwriter, in addition to gaining hands on experience in the post-production process of picture and sound editing.
The program also covers basic film studies, including the history of film, because students making films learn from watching other films and analyzing how they work.
The broad range of the program not only prepares students for a variety of positions but also helps them in making informed choices in pursuing opportunities or specialized training.
Who is the Program For?
If you aspire to become a producer, screenwriter, actor, director, editor, or cinematographer, the Certificate in Film Production may be for you.
Many students enter the program after the experience of working in other professions. The program also appeals to the people working in the high-tech industry, multi-media, or other occupations who want to enhance their employment skills in the area of film production.
