Overview

Film and Media Production (Cinematography) from Arizona State University provides a deep dive into film production. With a foundation in ethical and collaborative practices, and project-based learning using state-of-the-art technology, the program is among the most inclusive, affordable and innovative film offerings in the country.

Key facts

This concentration program provides hands-on training with film equipment and specialized study in cinematography, teaching students how to capture images to achieve a desired cinematic vision to craft impactful works in film, television and emerging media.

Working with their academic advisors, students can create their own concurrent degree combination. Some combinations are not possible due to high levels of overlap in curriculum.
