BA in Film Studies & Production

The Film Studies and Production major facilitates a solid grounding in the history, theory, production and criticism of motion-picture arts. Students acquire critical skills in the reading and analysis of media texts together with those involved in various modes of motion-picture production. Students are encouraged to consider the consequences and ethical implications of the approaches to style and content they choose, and are encouraged to situate their work within the many historical contexts presented in the various production, history and criticism classes.

The major teaches narrative, documentary and experimental modes of script/screenwriting and filmmaking; establishes a technical proficiency in camera use, lighting, digital editing software and sound design; and develops the ability to write script treatments and project proposals, as well as critical arguments about media representations and constructions.  With this grounding in theory and practice, students will have the opportunity to participate as critical observers and producers of culture's most powerful media tools: film, video and interactive media.
