What it isYou study the creative and technical craft of making films, from cinematography and camera work to storytelling and visual composition. Unlike a broader media studies program, Image Arts focuses on hands-on production skills and the visual language of cinema rather than theory alone. This suits students who want to create films themselves and are comfortable learning through doing.You'll study how to plan, shoot, and produce films and videos from start to finish. This program goes deeper into the technical and creative sides of filmmaking than a general media studies degree would, with hands-on work in cinematography, lighting, editing, and storytelling. It suits people who want to work as directors, cinematographers, or producers rather than study media theory or work in broader communications roles.Film Studies teaches you how to analyze movies, television, and visual media critically, plus how to create your own films and photographs. You'll study both the technical and artistic sides of filmmaking, from cinematography to storytelling. This program suits people who want to understand how media shapes culture and who are interested in working behind or in front of the camera.
