Photo/TV/Video Production
Photo/TV/Video Production A.A.S. (VC02)
Our majors create images in a variety of settings for a variety of audiences. These messages inform, entertain, provoke and evoke curiosity. Digital technology adds new dimensions to the many ways we impart information. This program is designed for individuals seeking education and professional training in photography, television, video, and other forms of media production. The curriculum prepares the student for entry-level positions in these fields, and provides a foundation for transfer to colleges and universities with similar programs. In addition to intensive examination of aesthetic theory and hands-on laboratory practices covering visual principles, materials, equipment, and processes; students will explore procedures and practices specific to their specified area of interest within the photography, television and video production fields.
This program encourages students to select a track that is most appropriate to the student’s career goals and/or transfer program requirements of four-year institutions. Program electives enhance employment opportunities while courses in design, computer generated images, web design, animation, drawing, theater, are highly desirable additions to the basic program.
