The Film and Digital Media Studies program merges interdisciplinary approaches, blending Humanities-focused film studies with creative Digital Media Arts coursework. This associate degree equips students for advanced education in cinema, media research, or allied fields like Mass Communication and Digital Media Production. Integrating both disciplines enables learners to gain conceptual understanding that enriches media creation, alongside practical production expertise valuable for media scholarship and critique.
Film studies classes explore cinematic history, formal analysis techniques, media theories, cultural representations, digital convergence, and related subjects. Digital Media Arts instruction covers photography fundamentals, video creation, visual narrative techniques, avant-garde filmmaking, and additional skills. Suggested starting points include FILM 40 (Mass Media & Society), FILM 71 (Introduction to Film Studies), and DMA 70 (Digital Video Production), though students should review the course catalog for complete requirements.
