The Certificate in Film Production is designed to help students develop expertise in all the areas of film, including screenwriting, acting, directing, and producing as well as the technical aspects of film and digital video production.
Students participate fully in the production structure of film-making in a variety of positions, such as camera operator, cinematographer, director and screenwriter, in addition to gaining hands on experience in the post-production process of picture and sound editing.
The program also covers basic film studies, including the history of film, because students making films learn from watching other films and analyzing how they work.
The broad range of the program not only prepares students for a variety of positions, but also helps them in making informed choices in pursuing opportunities or specialized training.
The Certificate in Film Production can be taken as a stand-alone certificate program or in conjunction with a degree program, with the approval of the appropriate faculty. Students interested in majoring in Film Production should consider instead the Film Production option in the Media Arts & Cultures program.
电影生产证书项目旨在帮助学生培养电影所有领域的专业知识，包括编剧，导演，表演和制作，以及电影的技术知识和数字视频的制作。
学生能够全面参与各种环境下的电影生产结构，如摄影师，放映师，导演和编剧，但是无法在图片和声音编辑的后期制作过程中收获经验。
该项目还包括基本的电影研究，包括电影史，因为学生要从观看电影和分析其运作中进行学习。
该项目的广泛范围不仅使学生为从事不同工作做好准备，也使他们准备好在追求机会或专业培训方面做出明智的选择 。
电影生产证书项目能够被当成一个独立的证书项目，或是在导师同意后，将其与学位项目相结合。对电影生产感兴趣的学生应该考虑媒体艺术与文化项目的电影生产方向。
