Film Video Media: Cinematography/Videography Emphasis, A.A.S.

In this selective entry degree program students learn a hands-on approach to Cinematography. Students are taught to visualize a movie while working with the Director and Art Department provoke an emotional response of the audience -  the essence of why people go to see films. At the Colorado Film School you will get your hands on a wide variety of cameras including motion picture film and the Red 4K camera system. By working with other disciplines, a Cinematography major explores a wide range of filmmaking gaining skills in dramatic narrative, documentary filmmaking and the latest in green-screen effects photography.
