Film/ Video Studies - Marlboro College

Film/ Video Studies from Marlboro College is a Campus Bachelor Film degree that prepares you for a Art and Design career. Students planning to study film/video generally develop and pursue specific interests in (1) screenwriting, (2) film history/theory/criticism, or (3) production in documentary, narrative, and/or experimental film. Some students combine these interests while others pursue one of them, sometimes to complement interdisciplinary study in another field. Regardless of the direction taken, all film students are advised to pursue a rounded liberal arts curriculum in other disciplines to complement their film work. Film/video students are challenged to develop rigorous practice, a personal aesthetic and a critical eye. Students working in narrative filmmaking, especially, are encouraged to work with others in order to learn the value of collaboration, expand their technical knowledge and maximize the potential of their Plan. Each student is advised to study across the curriculum, into areas that complement their particular interest. Students interested in screenwriting, for example, are urged to also study creative writing, literature and psychology. Documentary film students are urged to examine anthropology, cultural studies and sociology. Experimental film students are advised to also investigate poetry, visual art and dance. Classes: Screenwriting classes emphasize narrative structure and character development. Screenwriting is offered one semester each year, and through group tutorials. Film history/theory/criticism classes include screenings, discussions, associated readings and weekly writing. These classes are offered once or twice each year. Beginning production classes focus on hands-on personal filmmaking (documentary, experimental or narrative) aimed at developing a visual vocabulary and practice. More advanced classes and tutorials encourage collaboration in production. Plan students are advised to truly challenge themselves?to dig deeply into their areas of interest, to pursue new lines of interdisciplinary research and inquiry and to see their two-year guided journey as an opportunity for transformative experience.
