ABOUT THE PROGRAM The Bachelor of Science Program in Digital Film & Video Production at The Art Institutes International Minnesota will offer a balance in theory, history, and practical training to produce competent and literate graduates who are proficient in the technical, organizational, historical, and creative aspects of visual storytelling. This program will integrate industry and education with internship programs and its own student operated production company and television studios. The principles of this craft will be further explored and applied to the various contemporary forms. Students will have the opportunity to script and produce screenplays, teleplays, sitcoms, commercials and music videos, which, among other avenues, they can enter into the numerous writing and videomaking competitions the industry sponsors. Equally important is the production of the thesis video project, which will be the centerpiece of the graduating student’s demo reel. This allows the graduate the opportunity to enter film/video festivals and contests and present a “visual calling card” to prospective employers in the industry. In addition, technical competencies will be further enhanced as students will be offered advanced courses in these areas and provided the opportunity to concentrate in their chosen fields.
