Saskatchewan UNIVERSITY OF REGINA Faculty of Fine Arts Department of Film & Video Regina, SK S4S 0A2 (306) 585-4796 Fax: (306) 585-4439 Programs Available The Department of Film & Video offers Programs leading to the degrees of BFA (film & video production), BA (film & video studies) & BA Honours (film & video studies). Overview Given its position within the Faculty of Fine Arts, the Department of Film & Video approaches its subject matter as a means of artistic and cultural expression. By focusing on the creative process, technology and the theoretical and critical analysis of film and video texts, the Department offers an environment that integrates the Studies and Production disciplines. Thus, the BA students gain both a practical and a theoretical understanding of the image-making process, and the BFA students benefit by having access to more than a simple productionoriented understanding of the same process. Furthermore, the Department's mandate encourages students/artists to develop their own unique voice in their chosen medium. The result is that the program does not turn out a single style of image-making or critical thought, but rather allows for a great diversity of expression from the most avant-garde to the most mainstream. Bachelor of Arts (four-year) A traditional four-year liberal arts degree which allows students to develop the basic Skills of analysis, problem solving, decision making and communication along with a concentration in Film Studies. Armed with these skills, a cross-disciplinary knowledge base and a strong cultural awareness, BA graduates pursue a wide range of careers in such areas as law, business, public administration, secondary and university teaching, arts administration, critics / historians, museum studies, creative writing, advertising and media consulting. Bachelor of Arts Honours For those students who meet the higher academic requirements, this program allows greater concentration in the major area, more independent study opportunities and close one-to-one supervision by a faculty member. Students wishing to pursue graduate studies are urged to take this program. BFA Film and Video The program begins with an examination of the history, syntax and theory of motion Pictures, and then proceeds to the basics of film and videotape production — including scriptwriting, directing, recording, editing and music. Technical production classes are complemented by classes in the history and development of cinema, including Canadian and Third World cinema, Hollywood, documentary and contemporary film. Continuation in the BFA program is based on Portfolio, interview and grade average. At the end of the BFA program students are able to research and write a story and prepare shooting script to professional standards; produce, i.e., manage the business side of a production and ensure that it is marketable; and direct all aspects of a production. The program prepares students to become independent film / video artists or writers, directors and producers for the industry. While technical instruction is given and technical knowledge is required, the curriculum is not intended to train technicians.
