Film & Video Studies Program
Unit Level Strategic Plan
AY 2012 / 2013
Outcome Assessment Report
As an Interdisciplinary Program, FVS is comprised of 19 faculty members drawn from eight different departments across two
colleges. Although “regular” FVS faculty teach the bulk of the courses comprising the curriculum supporting three major
specializations (Cinema Studies, Production & Screenwriting) and two minors in the program, most of these courses have curriculum
rubrics that are contained within the respective faculty member’s home department (e.g., Anthropology, Communication, English,
World Languages, Political Science or Theatre). Therefore, aspects of strategic planning are constrained by the actions and strategic
planning goals of the supporting departments—especially as they might impact faculty &/or curriculum development. However, the
following FVS strategic planning report reflects the collective goals of the FVS faculty with a medium-term goal of establishing itself
as CWU’s first interdisciplinary department with the bulk of the curriculum under the FVS rubric as well as programmatic control.

Unit Strategic Planning Report
Unit: Interdisciplinary Film & Video Studies Program
Reporting Authority: Michael R. Ogden, Program Director
Date: November 1, 2013
A: Please complete the column titled “Outcome Assessment” on your own Unit Strategic Plan. Complete with as much detail as
you can provide. Where you cannot obtain data to complete the assessment, put “Data not available.” in the space.
B. Please summarize each of the University’s Five Core Themes from your Unit Strategic Plan Outcome Assessment report.
1. Teaching & Learning
As Washington State’s only interdisciplinary BA program in Film & Video Studies offering specializations in Cinema Studies, Production and Screenwriting, CWU’s
program has garnered a lot of attention and recognition. We are listed on the Washington Filmworks website [http://www.washingtonfilmworks.org/index.php/Locals/FilmSchools/]
and have a direct transfer agreement with Shoreline Community College (and are working on doing the same with the other community colleges with film programs).
The FVS program is a high-demand as well as competitive major with strict admission requirements. During the 2012-2013 academic year, the average FVS Program
GPA was above 3.0 and average quarterly credits earned above 13 credits per quarter with an undergraduate retention of just over 70 students each quarter and the
majority of students graduating in 4 years. Each year, as part of the assessment of student learning outcomes, students submit portfolios of their work—including a
demo reel of their production work, as applicable—and a program and self-assessment essay providing programmatic feedback. Unfortunately, the timing of this
strategic planning report is not in sync with the data collection and report of the student learning outcomes report. Therefore, for the 2012-2013 academic year, there
is—as of yet—little to report.
2. Inclusiveness & Diversity
From a review of the demographics report for the FVS program, more could be done to increase ethnic diversity (17% minority, 75% white & 8% unknown) and gender
balance (15% female, 85% male) in the program. Recruitment is an obvious way to do this, however, funding to support outreach &/or publicity materials need to be
granted in order to address this issue. Otherwise, targets are being met with curricular offerings that support cultural diversity and inclusiveness. Likewise,
programmatic sponsorship of extra- or co-curricular “brown bag” seminars and film screenings were organized over the academic year that addressed issues of
November 1, 2013
Page 2
Film & Video Studies Program
diversity and sexual orientation as represented through film or as issues in the film industry. Through the dean’s scholarship program, the Program has been able to
offer two partial tuition waivers—these have proven useful for recruitment &/or retention of outstanding student majors.
Faculty diversity reflects that of the CWU community in general; 58% male, 42% female and 84% white, 16% minority. Faculty recruitment is mostly a matter of the
participating partner departments in the program and outside the direct control (or input) of the FVS program. However, with the demonstrated need for new faculty TT
lines to support the growing FVS program—whether housed in another department or not—it would be good to address the ethnic diversity issue to the extent possible
under EEO guidelines.
3. Scholarship & Creative Expression
Data collection means for this specific “core theme” is not easily obtained for faculty. A mechanism is in the process of being developed to collect information from the
Program’s faculty in order to report on this for the next strategic planning report. Most faculty are actively engaged in scholarship and creative activities, but until the
mechanism of gathering this information is in place, there is no concrete data to report. Student activities in this area are typically reported in the assessment of student
learning report that is due December 15, 2013. As such, data on student participation in film festivals (on or off-campus) or in presentations of papers or creative works
at SOURCE are limited at this time. Four students presented their creative works at SOURCE Spring Quarter 2013 while 2 others presented papers. There were 8
teams of 5 students (1 of which, per team, was required to be a Theatre major) for a total of 32 FVS majors participating in the 48-Hour Film Slam competition and
screening (open to the public). Likewise, there were 20 students who participated in the Coin Toss Screenplay Competition Fall quarter 2012 and all graduating seniors
(21) screened their demo reels (a compendium of their best work over their tenure in the program) at the Apple Pie Film Showcase Spring quarter 2013, while students
enrolled in the COM 432 “Directing Film & Video” (10) class likewise screened their final film directing projects.
4. Public Service & Community Engagement
A DTA with Shoreline Community College was concluded during the review period of this report. Likewise, the FVS program hosted a director’s panel at the Ellensburg
Film Festival in October 2012, sponsored three “brown bag” seminars (one each quarter), Fall quarter “Coin Toss Screenplay Competition,” Winter quarter “48-Hour
Film Slam,” and Spring quarter “Apple Pie Film Showcase.” During Fall quarter, the service-learning COM 440 “Corporate Media Production” class produced 8
promotional video projects for on & off-campus clients. FVS students—and a couple of alumni—also participated as trainers/mentors in the Ellensburg Film Festival
sponsored “Teen Film Workshop” over the summer of 2013; the FVS program also contributed equipment in support of this workshop.
5. Resource Development & Stewardship
Production equipment is expensive! Without a regular budget line for equipment purchase &/or maintenance, the FVS program has had to rely on “loan-out” programs
like the Nikon School Locker Program and the RED Educational Program to acquire use of professional-grade production equipment for instruction &/or to support
faculty creative work. With the modest return on summer revenues, additional equipment can be purchased, but this has had to be strategically managed in order to
maximize usefulness in the equipment &/or software’s contribution to the curriculum and learning outcomes for the program. Through the COM department, a student
lab fee is charged for all production courses (taught & supported by FVS affiliated faculty) that contribute to the cost of “consumable” materials for these classes (e.g.,
gaffer’s tape, color gels, diffusion material, replacement globes for studio and field lights, etc.). Management of the check-out/-in of equipment has been fraught with
staffing problems, maintenance issues and tracking inefficiencies with little student accountability for equipment abuse or late return. This is one of the primary areas
that must be addressed in the following year.
November 1, 2013

Film & Video Studies Program
Toward which theme(s) did you make progress, and how are students benefitting from this?
This year’s data set has identified areas where data collection has fallen short or the timing of reporting did not synchronize with the strategic planning report. As such,
the assessment of student learning report (due 12/15/2013) would provide the most comprehensive review in addressing the above question. That being said, in the
absence of base funding for equipment purchase and maintenance, developments in the Program becoming a partner in the Nikon School Locker Program has put into
the hands of production students some “state-of-the-art” DSLR cameras, prime lenses and support gear (on “loan-out” consignment) that have resulted in student video
production assignments taking on a more cinematic look while also reinforcing instruction in cinematography, lighting, editing and color grading. Student enthusiasm for
the program has increased and “pride of production” due to the use of professional gear has contributed to a better learning environment.
Which theme(s) deserve special attention next year?
Thematically, addressing the issue of “Resource Stewardship” is top priority. Presently, the Program is exploring the development of an asset management database for
equipment reservation, check-out/-in as well as inventory and repair trouble-ticket generation and student billing. Beyond this immediate need, better and consistent
mechanisms for comprehensive data collection and reporting are in development.
C. How do you intend to utilize the data gathered this year to assist you in developing stronger programs?
This year’s data, although holes in the data set exist and will need to be addressed, provides a base-line from which progress can be assessed.
D. Based on your learning from this first year report, what parts of your strategic plan will you modify, add to, or omit for next
year? (Please attach an updated Strategic Plan with changes highlighted.)
Too soon in the process to make a determination on strategic plan changes. Additional data will need to be collected and compared with past data prior to making any
changes in the present strategic plan.
