Digital Filmmaking Certificate
The Rutgers Center for Digital Filmmaking (RCDF), within the Mason Gross
School of the Arts, offers a 22-credit certificate program open to
Rutgers undergraduate students of all majors. Students choose a
concentration in either nonfiction or fiction filmmaking, selecting
from courses in documentary, fiction, directing, screenwriting,
animation, cinematography, and editing. Classes are
production-oriented and provide students with hands-on training and
access to professional digital filmmaking equipment. Within the
certificate program, students are required to take four narrative
filmmaking classes that bridge cinema theory and film grammar with
practical skills necessary to produce narratives for the screen. RCDF's progressive pedagogy interweaves traditional filmmaking techniques with
emerging film technologies and platforms, while also providing students
with marketable skills.
The program is built in collaboration with
Writers House, Rutgers Department of English, where digital composition courses are
offered as gateway classes to the film certificate program. This
selective program requires registration on a rolling basis; contact
Rutgers Center for Digital Filmmaking for further information.
