What it is	You 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.	Communications at Glendon teaches you how media, visual culture, and marketing work in practice and in theory. You study cinematography and photography alongside media analysis and strategic communication, rather than pure theory or business skills alone. It suits people who want to understand how messages reach audiences across platforms and are willing to study in both English and French.	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.	This program teaches you how media and communication work across multiple platforms — from journalism and photography to marketing and design. You'll study both the theory behind how messages reach audiences and the practical skills to create them yourself. It suits people who want to understand media industries from the inside and are ready to work across different formats rather than specializing in just one.
