The Master's in 'Digital Media and Film' is housed in the Department of Radio-TV and Film. Digital media and film explores the processes of storytelling from pre through postproduction including in-depth examination of the light, sound, motion, camera, editing, composition, storyboarding, scriptwriting, blocking, and field and studio. The program covers analog and digital processes and offers courses in traditional and new approaches to storytelling including the traditional news genre, experimental video production, documentary, single camera and multiple camera, live and prerecorded. Digital media and Film also embraces the possibilities associated with social media platforms to draw on the potential in mobile phone technologies and social platforms like YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Google and Instagram. Program participants will develop their potential and use the program to achieve their goals as digital media storytellers. The M.A. program in Digital Media and Film is a rigorous program of study in the creative art of visual storytelling that prepares participants for multiple future career possibilities in traditional media industries, independent documentary production, professional blogging, online journalism, and alternative media production forms.
