Program description
Get the theoretical grounding and hands-on experience you need to thrive in the rapidly growing industry of video design and production by enrolling in our two-year diploma program. You will gain the entrepreneurial knowledge and skills necessary to choose the right path for you by combining conventional filmmaking processes with new media and distribution approaches.
Using examples from mobile devices, virtual reality, and post-production, we will walk you through the steps of making a film. You'll get the lowdown on making videos for YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and other platforms, as well as for instructional purposes.
Learning how to work an LED wall is a great way to get a feel for the latest trend in making videos. Additionally, you will have the chance to build a professional portfolio through your participation in extracurricular activities and group projects.
