Since the first film screening in 1895, motion
pictures have grown into one of the world's most influential
communication media and the United States' second leading
export. The Motion Picture Production degree gives students
extensive hands-on experience in creative and technical
filmmaking skills, and it provides the opportunity to build a
demonstration reel showcasing a student's ability. Filmmakers
usually work in teams, each member specializing in one field
such as cinematography, sound recording, lighting, special
effects, or animation. While most films are produced by
California companies, there are motion pictures made in every
state. Filmmakers may work as independent contractors or find
employment in companies that rent facilities, sell equipment, or
contract services for film productions. 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. |
