Motion pictures bring together elements from all
the other arts: writing, photography, theater, music, dance, and
all of the visual arts. The Motion Picture Direction program
gives students extensive practical experience working with other
artists and technicians to create dramatic, documentary,
experimental, or animated films. The degree is designed for
students who wish to become screenwriters, directors, and film
editors, the people who guide the film story-telling process.
Entry-level jobs include production assistants as well as
apprentices and interns in specialized roles with independent
film production companies, advertising firms, and major film
studios. Not all courses in this program transfer to all
colleges. Students planning to transfer should see an
academic advisor or counselor before enrolling in any course. |
