Cinema

In 必博娱乐,比博娱乐网址 #########’s Cinema program, the student is the filmmaker. Our courses integrate film and digital production with the study of cinema history, aesthetics, and theory. Cinema majors shoot and complete at least seven films as part of the core classes, and often many more through elective courses, gaining a working knowledge of the principles of production in connection with an understanding of cinema as an art form.
