http://www.uregina.ca/finearts/media/programs_detail.html Faculty of Fine Arts The Program BACHELOR OF FINE ARTS - Film & Video Production The four-year BFA program begins with an examination of the history, theory and analysis of motion pictures. Students are then introduced to the basics of film, video and new media production, including scriptwriting, directing, recording, editing, digital imaging and sound. Technical production courses are complemented by courses in media history and aesthetics. Areas such as Canadian, European, Third World and Hollywood cinema are discussed in the context of contemporary media culture. Continuation in the BFA program is determined on the basis of portfolio, grade point average and an interview that takes place at the end of the first year of study. Students must have completed Film 100, Film 200 and Film 248 to be considered. Graduates are prepared for careers as independent film, video and new media artists or as writers, directors, producers and industry workers. An internship program is in development to offer students apprenticeships at local media production companies. Students often find work before graduation. Nearly all move directly into production work when they graduate. Many have stayed in Saskatchewan and have participated in building the province's thriving media industry. Others are working independently as far afield as Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Hong Kong and Bangkok.
