This program is currently not admitting students.

Bruce Yonemoto, Director

The minor in Digital Filmmaking in the Claire Trevor School of the Arts provides opportunities to explore creative digital film production techniques and structures basic to the creation of new film works. Undergraduate students from all areas of UCI will have the opportunity to produce digital film works with content that contributes to the future of film as an art form.

Through the minor in Digital Filmmaking students will learn how traditional production techniques create content through form. Theories of studio production and art film history will inform the production of new narrative, documentary, fictional, and experimental film works. Students will learn to produce films which will lend themselves to emerging distribution platforms. The future of film as an art form depends on students to learn traditional as well as experimental components of structure and content. In the studio, students will acquire advanced skills in camera, lighting, sound, re-production, and post-production. Through issues and projects courses the program investigates experimental techniques developed by historical and contemporary film artists.

This program is currently not admitting students.
