The diploma

Audiovisual Production

Digital audio and video tools as an art form and as an integral part of a company's marketing strategy. Students analyze pieces — from online promotions to feature films — to understand how audio and video carry a narrative.

i

Coordinating teams, not just filming

You learn to direct writers, camera operators, sound, art, casting, editing and post-production. The role is one of creative coordination.

ii

The full audiovisual language

Composition, color theory, narrative and editing. How audio and video work together to tell a coherent story.

iii

Copyright, included

Identifying copyright and intellectual-property standards when creating audiovisual work — what almost nobody teaches.
