Overview

Cinematic Arts Students can pursue a concentration in Cinematic Arts (or Photography and Cinema) within the Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) in Visual Arts. The curriculum covers foundational visual concepts, moving-image history, scriptwriting, lighting, camera management, and advanced digital post-production techniques. Students gain hands-on experience in pre-production planning, video editing, and sound design, culminating in a senior capstone project where majors produce an original creative work alongside a professional portfolio, demo reel, and personal website tailored for employment or graduate school.

Graduates are prepared to transition into diverse roles across film, television, digital media, advertising, and creative arts. Common positions include video editor, cinematographer, director, motion designer, creative director, and media producer. Alumni secure employment at production studios, marketing agencies, media networks, non-profit institutions, and corporations such as Under Armour, CACI International, and regional broadcasting networks. The concentration also provides solid preparation for competitive Master of Fine Arts (M.F.A.) programs in film, video, and digital arts.

The Production Center

The Production Center (The Cage) provides production and post-production equipment, supplies, maintenance and support for currently enrolled Visual Arts students, graduate students, faculty and staff. The student staff members track over 600 checkout items, serve approximately 200 people, and perform over 2000 checkouts per year. The center provides 24-hour access to post-production facilities and 30 hours a week it is open for purchasing supplies and for checking-in/out equipment. This facility is an integral part of the Department of Visual Arts and the Imaging and Digital Arts graduate programme. As developing artists expressing their personal vision and ideas, students are encouraged to explore the mediums of time-based digital media.
