Students will get a grounding in the technical basics of motion picture production including cinematography and post production. These skills can then be applied across media, such as television and online formats. This will enable them to gain internships and entry level positions with the production companies, digital firms, and creative-based organizations in and around New York City. For students wishing to apply to graduate film schools, this sequence of classes will give students the opportunity to prepare a creative portfolio.<\/p>\n<p>To receive a certificate, students are required to take five classes of the classes listed below for a total of fifteen credits:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>MEDST 243 \u2013 Introduction to filmmaking<\/li>\n<li>MEDST 245 \u2013 Screenwriting<\/li>\n<li>MEDST 247 \u2013 Introduction to Post Production<\/li>\n<li>MEDST 242 \u2013 Three Camera Studio Television<\/li>\n<li>MEDST 266 \u2013 Podcasting<\/li>\n<li>MEDST 248 \u2013 Experimental Media<\/li>\n<li>MEDST 241 \u2013 Multimedia (a basic class for creating online media)<\/li>\n<li>MEDST 314 \u2013 Directing (pre-requisite: MEDST 243)<\/li>\n<li>MEDST 344 \u2013 Cinematography (pre-requisite: MEDST 243)<\/li>\n<li>MEDST 317 \u2013 Advanced Post Production (pre-requisite: MEDST 247)<\/li>\n<li>MEDST 313 \u2013 Creative Sound<\/li>\n<li>MEDST 310 \u2013 Documentary filmmaking (pre-requisite: MEDST 243)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion open_toggle_text_color=&#8221;#e71939&#8243; open_toggle_background_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; closed_toggle_text_color=&#8221;#e71939&#8243; closed_toggle_background_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; icon_color=&#8221;#e71939&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; toggle_text_color=&#8221;#e71939&#8243; toggle_font=&#8221;Open Sans|600|||||||&#8221; body_font=&#8221;Open Sans||||||||&#8221; body_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; body_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; border_color_all=&#8221;#000000&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;FAQ&#8221; open=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are the admission requirements?<\/strong><br \/>The admission requirements are the same as those for students majoring in Media Studies and Film Studies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are the grade requirements?<\/strong><br \/>You must get a C or greater for a class to qualify towards the certificate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are there any other classes I can take that count towards the certificate?<\/strong><br \/>There will be additional classes and independent studies that qualify that will be offered infrequently or on a one-off basis.
