Program Overview

The Media Production Program is a limited access, cutting edge program designed to prepare students for the rapidly changing world of digital media. With the proliferation of digital video cameras and desktop editing software, digital video production has burst through the confines of television studios and Hollywood conventions, allowing small teams of people to create visual material that is distributed across a host of media, from traditional television broadcasting to the emerging power of podcasting.

Media Production students learn the foundation skills of shooting digital video, recording sound and using lighting for dramatic effect. Alongs ide these traditional elements, students also learn to use contemporary post production software including AVID, Final Cut Pro, Adobe Photoshop and AfterEffects, and a suite of 3D animation software. These tools, combined with a theoretical background in visual storytelling, prepare students for work in industries ranging from film and television, sports media, local production studios and emerging jobs related to streaming video and on-line productions.
