The Video Production Program offers a broad range of technical and media studies courses that place emphasis on creative production, academic scholarship, and media literacy. Students take a core curriculum with courses in the history of film and video, journalism, new media, critical studies, and intensive video production.
Our program prepares students to be original independent media makers and provides them with diverse production and analytical skills that can be applied to varied careers in an ever-changing media landscape.
The Video Production Program faculty consists of internationally renowned artists with extensive professional and industry experience in television, film, and video art. Within the major, students specialize in either narrative or documentary production and benefit from small classes where they are offered close guidance and mentorship by teachers who work actively in the field.
Students in the Video Production Program utilize state of the art professional HD video cameras, location lighting equipment and sound recording equipment. With it's home in Express Newark, the Video Production Program boasts state-of-the-art editing facilities with Adobe Creative Cloud editing software and Macintosh computer systems as well as a production studio with green screen. Our students have the opportunity to gain essential practical experience and professional contacts through the internship program which has direct access to a vast range of television, film, and multi-media production companies in northern New Jersey and the New York metropolitan region.
The video production major is offered through the Department
of Arts, Culture, and Media (ACM). ACM houses programs and/or majors in art, art history,
graphic design, journalism, music, and video production. Each major includes an ACM core sequence
requirement. Taking advantage of the range of disciplines in ACM and the campus
mission to engage with its community, the core combines an integrated sequence
of classes, shaped in large part by projects drawn from the urban region
surrounding the university. The sequence consists of three classes:
Introduction to Arts, Media, and Culture, a class designated by each program
that combines interdisciplinary pedagogy with a student's major; and either
Colloquium in Arts, Culture, and Media or Seminar in Arts, Culture, and Media.
