Technical Skills and Proficiency
Film classes teach students to think like a filmmaker, gain technical skill handling gear, and increase their knowledge and proficiency working with audio/visual software.
The SAAS Film Program helps students develop their ability to be critical producers and consumers of audio-visual communications. By utilizing the three-phase process of analysis and design, construction, and implementation, SAAS students design and engineer their films while simultaneously developing a sense of their own aesthetics. Students are encouraged to experiment with ways of communicating to an audience, whether it be through the two-dimensional world of animation and traditional film, the 3D world of physical video installation, or even, 360 degree / virtual reality experiences.
By preparing students to be active, critical viewers in a media saturated world, the SAAS Film Program teaches students to explore and question established media language conventions and to explore alternative ways of producing and presenting their own original content.
