Film and TV Production
The RTVF major includes both required and elective courses in film and television
production. Our students develop valuable skills that equip them to effectively communicate
their ideas to audiences in the ever-evolving field of film and television. Many of
our students are focused on a career of narrative film or television production-this
includes cinematography, directing, editing, sound design, production design, special
effects and producing (or any combination thereof).
Film and television outlets now extend beyond the traditional film studios and television networks to include streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV+, Qubi, Amazon Prime, and Disney Plus. The demand for our students has never been greater, with many of our graduates working for these various platforms.
Our students also work in corporate films, commercials, and gaming/music videos-all
markets that are especially active in Silicon Valley tech enterprises. Our pathway
allows students to mix and match their production curriculum according to their specific
career goals or interests. We believe that a comprehensive and diverse knowledge of
film production is essential to student success and career paths in the film and television
industry.
