The Film, Television, and Media Arts Associate of Science degree will prepare students to pursue careers in the media industry as independent producers, directors, cinematographers (director of photography) videographers, film and video editors, camera operators, gaffers, scriptwriters, and specialist in media production. They will be able to work in a variety of fields and industries including broadcast television, internet media development, marketing, public relations, communications, advertising, entertainment, education, government, medical institutions and businesses where media technology is used.
This is a rapidly growing industry that has become common and nearly ubiquitous throughout most industries, therefore we expect enrollment to continue to increase as the program gains recognition and student interest surges. There is a growing number of high schools, colleges and universities throughout San Diego county and across the country that offer a similar program, however, fewer are able to provide the kind of student centered access to equipment and media facilities that Southwestern college currently does.
Upon successful completion of the program, students will be able to: 1) identify the production model of the four distinct processes; 3) demonstrate an ability to operate camera and sound equipment 4) develop an understanding of the general concepts behind the business practices in the media industry. Students will be able to develop a production book which contains a synopsis, script, script breakdown, production schedule, storyboard. Shot list, Camera blocking or floor plan, and release forms and agreements.
