Cinematography and Post-Production Emphases (BFA)
Set up the cameras, capture the action, and incorporate sound, music, and special effects: Welcome to the world of cinematographers and editors!
To Prospective Students (freshmen & transfer):
While the Department of Theatre, Film & Video Production currently accepts applications for the Spring and Summer semesters, students are strongly encouraged to apply for a Fall semester start. This is due to the fact that the majority of the first-semester courses are offered in Fall semesters only. The Department of Theatre, Film & Video Production majors are highly sequenced and pre-requisites are strictly enforced. Students who begin in the Spring and Summer semesters may find that their required courses are not offered until the Fall semester.
PRIORITY APPLICATION DEADLINES for Summer 2009, Fall 2009, Spring 2010, and Summer 2010
- Fall applicants are encouraged to apply by March 1 (Fall registration opens in early April).
- Spring applicants are encouraged to apply by October 1 (Spring registration opens in mid-November).
- Summer applicants are encouraged to apply by February 1 (Summer registration opens mid-March).
Beginning Fall 2010, the Department of Theatre, Film & Video Production will accept Fall applications only. The deadline to apply for the Fall 2010 semester will be April 1, 2010; however, students are encouraged to submit applications by February 15, 2010.
Education for Future Professionals
Students complete the 22 credits of Theatre, Film, and Television foundation courses and then select an emphasis and complete all 51 listed credits within that emphasis area. Foundation courses include: Production/Post Production, Scriptwriting, Performance Visualization, Scenery Lab, Costume Lab, Camera Equipment Lab, and Technology and Acting Lab. All major courses must be completed with a C (2.0) or better.
You won’t have to go far to gain valuable experience in your field. Budding theatre students have their own Theatre Buffs Club. TheatreBuffs provides self-directed theatrical opportunities to the students of the Auraria Campus.
