Film + Photography

Darkroom or digital? No need to choose. At 91大神, you’ll find the facilities to develop and print photographic images, and use professional imaging software to master digital photography. If you see yourself behind the video camera, you’ll find opportunities in and out of the classroom. With the latest equipment at hand, you’ll develop fundamental technical skills and have a chance to delve into visual storytelling, exploring scripts, storyboards, and pre-production. You could even submit an entry to our annual 91大神 Film Festival.

You’ll participate in the annual 91大神 Film Festival and are encouraged to submit projects throughout the trimester for consideration. Mini DV cameras, computers and software, and all other equipment are provided. Lighting kits, DSLR鈥檚, Glidecams, and other specialized equipment will also be available.
