Film and television major
Major departments
In the first two years of the course, students need to study a wide range of professional courses. In the first year of the course, students are required to complete six professional courses; In the second year, the scope was narrowed and three subjects were selected; In the third year, I studied two of them after screening; In the last year, I concentrated on one major.
The subjects you can choose to specialize in include:
production control
(Create quality through creative planning, comprehensive insight and excellent organization)
Our college is concerned about the importance of creative organization and management skills in the film and television industry. Therefore, the number of students majoring in producers and production management will be the same as that of directors. Our goal is to cultivate creative producers and efficient production managers and assistants.
Students will alternately play the roles of producer and production manager in various shooting plans. As producers, students will participate in choosing scripts, developing ideas and dealing with logistics and financial problems. Our aim is to cultivate creative production partners, who can practice their ideas in production and provide organizational and financial management help for the film and television team.
dramatist
(Writing and storytelling skills)
The scriptwriting course in our college is the most comprehensive and in-depth course in Hong Kong, and it is unique in the world.
By deconstructing short films and feature films, students can learn to conceive, develop and complete scripts in a professional way. Students will begin with the conception of the story, express the story interactively through location, role, event and time, and then gradually master different scriptwriting skills, such as characters, plot design, scene separation, story structure, adaptation of different film languages and genres. This course will focus on developing students' writing and literary skills to balance theoretical and analytical abilities. In the last year, students should be able to independently create a complete script as a graduation work and evaluate it at the industry level.
be in charge of/supervisor
(Creative leadership-setting the direction for yourself and others)
The director department hopes to help students learn different kinds of directing skills between feature films (movies and TV) and documentaries. We hope to train not only story directors with one or two personal ideas, but also technical managers who can practice customer entrustment; We think that the director is a film planner and the founder of ideas. We encourage students to develop personal projects, give them the opportunity to work under entrustment, or practice creativity by using scripts of screenwriter students, which not only expresses themselves, but also solves problems for others.
We hope to teach students how to cooperate with producers, technicians and actors in collective creation, and learn how to operate under budget and time constraints. We hope that students can be aware of the financial/operational constraints, which will not only hinder the progress, but also stimulate creativity. We encourage the project to operate under limited conditions, and the finished product can be comparable to the successful work with sufficient funds and time.
Photography/lighting
(Visual Creation-Light and Shadow Painting)
Students will learn lighting, cinematography and different video recording techniques (film/film or digital video recording), and will also shoot stories and documentaries in TV and video studios. On the basis of basic skills, students will develop their own creative style and assist the director to interpret the plot of the work.
At the same time, students will learn to work efficiently without losing visual control, and learn to coordinate budget, time limit and limited light and resources under pressure, which will also be an important part of students' creative technical training.
Edit and rearrange
(Creative editing-breaking down parts into whole)
The goal of our college is to cultivate students' technical and innovative ability with the highest standards. In order to achieve this goal, on the one hand, we invest in advanced digital technology, and the editing department also adopts the traditional video/film simulation system with educational and creative potential.
Students use the technology of different platforms of the college to learn the editing skills of stories and documentaries, work closely with students of the audio department, participate in location shooting or act as directors in video studios. The concept of advanced editing will be integrated into the concept of creative montage and learn to apply advanced technology. Students will make suggestions to directors and producers to assist the overall creation.
sound
(Three-dimensional creation and sculpture)
Students majoring in audio will learn all aspects of recording and audio design (post-production audio track insertion and mixing), as well as audio applications produced by story, documentary and video studios. In the film crew, sound is an important basic creative tool, not the last additional link. We encourage students to learn how to make high-quality live recordings, and emphasize the cooperation between audio editing and video editing, and use computer technology to make their relationship closer.
The department of sound will encourage students to pay attention to the emotional and atmospheric effects of environmental sounds such as music, and at the same time learn drama improvement skills of traditional sounds and sound effects (adding special sound effects later). Students also provide help and advice for directors to use sound and enhance stereo sound in film or video production.
Minor course
Minor courses aim to broaden the horizons, put students' compulsory courses in a larger macro environment, make them have a deeper understanding and understanding of the knowledge inside and outside the discipline, and put the discipline in a larger social, cultural, artistic, disciplinary and historical environment. Minor courses can focus on practice and pay equal attention to theory and practice; It is still purely theoretical. Whether on the blackboard or on the screen, it has become a place to study.
In order to better balance the compulsory courses and minor courses in the four-year college curriculum, our college hired additional teachers to develop and teach the courses of film and television theory and history. By focusing on minor courses, we promise to bring better design and teaching to the courses: silent movies; Movie world; Hong Kong Chinese films; China films in China and Taiwan Province province; Film theory; The analysis of professional practice and film production from 1 to 4 shows the determination of our college to combine theory with practice and broaden the course content.
