University of Arizona Art Department Art History of Cinema

The inclusion of Cinematic Arts within the Department of Art and Art History says much about our approach. Nosotros believe that filmmaking is an art that must exist mastered by disciplined exercise and reflection. We railroad train and mentor filmmakers nether the studio fine art model with a balanced dose of exercise and theoretical appreciation.

The Department of Art and Art History at UTA has an excellent reputation for training young filmmakers, preparing them for the creative challenges and emotional rigors of the movement picture industry.

This process begins in Cinema Production one class. Students acquire foundational skill sets in the craft and applied science of filmmaking past planning, shooting, and editing their short films as a group.

We believe that storytelling is the cornerstone of our fine art; this is why a solid SCREENWRITING 1 class is besides a foundational educational activity at this level. Students learn industry-standard screenwriting formats and techniques to create bright descriptions, fresh and authentic dialogue, all within a clear and engaging storyline. SCREENWRITING ii class furthers every attribute of the arts and crafts and incorporates more than complex narrative techniques and specific genre approaches. Autonomously from beingness a principal part of our curricula, screenwriting is besides a process of artistic self-discovery and growth. We are not only interested in training skilled storytellers. Nosotros desire those stories to brandish a singled-out artistic voice.

At the intermediate level, pupil filmmakers accelerate through a program of technical and aesthetic exercises exploring and developing specific skill sets and sensibilities they will apply throughout their work. Students are introduced to higher levels of image capture in Cinematography through the control and manipulation of light and camera. The Directing classes investigate processes of interpreting screenplays through camera and performance, focusing on the Manager -Actors' piece of work. With the skills developed at this level, the students are fix to convey ideas and elicit emotions in profound, powerful, and polished film pieces.

Students are encouraged to explore and follow their interests in the areas most suited to their career aspirations. Special topics courses supplement the regular curriculum to fill up specific niche areas. Cinematography, Avant-garde Editing, Sound, Producing are among these classes.

Our students too learn how to write their stories in the editing room. In theory and practice, they learn that montage is the single attribute that movie theater has not borrowed from any other art. Our training in the various aspects of post-product is progressive. By the end of the third level, they have had a comprehensive agreement and practice of visual editing, audio design, color grading, and the fundamental aspects of visual and acoustic effects. So, students are set up to create their Thesis film.
