This program addresses the undersupply of multimedia and video arts workers in the Bay Area region of California. Completion of this A.A. will provide students with the coursework they need for certification to gain employment as producers, directors, editors, or other video crew, whether in-house or freelancing. Employment will also be found in the growing field of social media content production.
The program has been updated to reflect the change in designation of most Multimedia Arts video courses from MMART to MM/VI.
The A.A. in Video Arts is designed to prepare students to transfer to education programs at four-year institutions. Additionally, completion of this A.A. will provide students with the coursework they need to work as video producers, video editors, motion graphics designers, on-location or studio recordists, sound designers for radio and motion picture, cinematographers, camera operators, gaffers, grips, documentaries and nonfiction producers, video directors, social media content producers, social media producers or project managers.
