2021-2022 Catalog

Film Video Media: Writing/Producing Emphasis, A.A.S.

It all starts with imagination, ideas and the script. Creative producers and screenwriters learn to analyze and write screenplays by understanding character, structure and narrative story elements. They then assemble and collaborate with key creative artists to form a combined vision through a project's development, from pre-production, into production and, finally,  post-production. Filmmakers will perfect both the creative and business aspects of filmmaking by enhancing and developing artistic proficiency and judgment,  becoming immersed in a solid background of the entertainment industry.
