Television ProductionAcademy
Program Description
As a student in film production, you’ll get plenty of practice on short film and video projects, but you won’t always be calling the shots as director. For one project, you might work with the sound equipment. For another, you could serve as production manager, coordinating equipment, actors, space, and the schedule. If you take on the role of editor, you’ll join takes together into the final film. All this experience will really pay off when you leave campus to work on a professional film set.
