| What it is | You earn a BA in Film Studies while also completing a separate diploma through Vancouver Film School. The diploma focuses on hands-on technical skills in animation, visual effects, and cinematography that complement the theory and history you study in the university degree. This suits students who want both the critical thinking and broad knowledge of a university degree alongside practical industry training in filmmaking technology. | You study how to create and produce media across film, photography, writing, and design, learning both the technical skills and creative thinking behind what you see on screens and in print. Unlike a pure communication theory program, this one emphasizes hands-on production and design work alongside studying media's role in society. It suits people who want to make things, not just analyze them, and who enjoy combining visual, written, and conceptual work. |
