Film and Media Studies
Film and Media Studies is a program offered under the Ivan Allen College of Liberal Art's School of Literature, Media, and Communication. It can be taken either as a thread in the Computational Media major or a minor for non-majors. The Literature, Media, and Communication major offers a similar thread which is simply named Media.
The Film and Media Studies program aims to instill a nuanced perspective of film and other forms of media within its students. Although its primary focus is on media critique and analysis, students may opt to take courses in video production, editing and post-production, and acting workshops to gain skills in media creation[1].
