The Film and Media Production major examines and explores the essential role film and media production play in the development of identities, societies, and cultures. This major places primary emphasis on the art and science of visual storytelling, which is the expression of narrative through the use of visual media including still photography, illustration, or video. The major provides the opportunity to study the history, theory, and practice of film and moving image production, distribution, and exhibition and examine the growth and importance of visual storytelling and media literacy as crucial aspects of the contemporary media landscape and media ecosystem. Additionally, students will generate creative visual storytelling projects including screenplays, feature-length films, short films, web-based programs, photo and video essays, and other forms of moving and still image products.
