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.
Film
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.
Experimental, Art-Based Processes
Through the three-phase filmmaking process of pre-production, production, and post-production, students also learn experimental and art-based processes.
Produce Original Content
These processes encourage students to question established media language conventions and to explore alternative ways of producing and presenting their own original content.
