Writing for Film & TV, BFA
The School of Film offers degrees in Animation, Film and Video, and Writing for Film and Television. Artists in all three fields communicate with their audiences and express their ideas through the conception, recording, and manipulation of moving images and sounds, and are therefore bound in fundamental ways. The school provides students both a broad understanding of making and writing moving-image art and media, and intensive practical experience in their specialties. The Film School: - helps students master at least one of the difficult art forms that we teach;
- ensures that our graduates leave the university with a sophisticated knowledge of their chosen medium or media and a more profound sense of themselves as artists;
- provides opportunities for students to collaborate on creative work and for majors from different programs to interact in a variety of academic and creative settings; and
- gives freshmen the information and experience to make intelligent choices about which are to specialize in.
The faculty is committed to pushing film school students to find and nurture their unique voices, to master their crafts, and to cultivate a deep sense of the place of their chosen specialties in the contexts of cinematic art, art in general, history, and society, but also encourages students to collaborate with each other and to interact with students outside of their academic homes.
