The Bachelor of Fine Arts in Filmmaking is a three-year comprehensive degree in the art and craft of filmmaking, with the emphasis on hands-on instruction coupled with practical exercises in all the essentials of film and television production including directing, production, editing, cinematography and screenwriting.
The first year is oriented towards learning the fundamentals of film and television production with the emphasis on documentary and other non-fiction forms in film and television production. Second year, the emphasis is on fiction and the mastering of the technical and artistic aspects of film and television production.
In the third and final year of study, while taking the required core courses comprising the basis of their degree, the student chooses from five possible options: directing, production, editing, cinematography and screenwriting and prepares a project related to their selected option. This, in addition to selective workshops offered in the BFA curriculum, forms the basis of the program. Consequently, the student is trained to become a well-rounded and polyvalent filmmaker with additional practice in the area of their chosen option.
Option in Production
- The option in Production gives students, in addition to pursuing their required core courses, the opportunity to orient their final year project towards producing and production management. Production option students will produce three approved film projects in their final year of studies. They also have priority in all producing, financing and production workshops during their second and third years.
- Although the student’s final year curriculum allows for the choosing of a project related to the student’s Production option, the student must, at the same time, continue and complete the required core classes of the Bachelor’s program.
