The B.F.A. is the Park School’s degree for students who want to develop expertise across a range of media, including film, photography, video, and fine arts. Today’s digital media environment often requires professionals to be skilled in multiple mediums. Photographers may be asked by an assignment editor to record video on a digital SLR. Filmmakers’ productions may be bound for theatrical distribution, the home screen, or the internet.
Beginning freshman year, you’ll take classes in photography and film production (bring your own digital SLR camera and light meter), and you’ll spend time in the darkroom or at a video editing station. You’ll also venture into the television studios for video production classes and trek over to the art studio for lessons in 2-D design or drawing.
