FILM AND DIGITAL MEDIA MAJOR

AT UC SANTA CRUZ

PHILOSOPHY:

The Film and Digital Media major at UCSC offers an integrated curriculum involving theory, criticism, and cultural analysis, as well as a production program in the aesthetics and techniques of film, video and digital media. This Bachelor of Arts degree program provides students with the critical skills, theoretical concepts, and historical knowledge necessary to analyze cinema, television, video art, and new media, along with the up-to-date technical knowledge, practical skills, and artistic background needed to produce film, video, and digital media. The major provides a course of study that develops an understanding of moving image and digital media as essential tools of communication and artistic practice.

Students in the general Film and Digital Media major develop an understanding of major movements in world cinema and different aesthetic approaches to the medium, while also studying the cultural impact of television and the rise of video and digital art in recent decades. Students in the highly selective Production Concentration are encouraged to demonstrate technical proficiency and creative vision in film and digital media production while creating films, videos and digital artworks. Students admitted to the Critical Studies

Concentration focus on advanced study of moving image history and theory.

Students in all facets of the major develop skills in media analysis while maintaining a broadly-based liberal arts perspective. The UCSC program is interdisciplinary, combining theory and practice in film, video, and digital media with study in other areas of the arts, humanities, and social sciences that help students understand the role these media play in society.

Over the years our graduates have established careers as professionals in the fields of film, video, television and digital media, working as filmmakers, editors, digital media artists, film archivists, media educators, film festival curators, script analysts, television producers, computer programmers and studio executives. Recent graduates have screened work at the

Sundance Film Festival, on HBO, Cinequest, Milan Film Festival, and Santa Cruz Film

Festival. Graduates of the Film and Digital Media program also have a strong track record of gaining admission to the top graduate programs for M.A., M.F.A. and Ph.D. degrees, including USC, UCLA, NYU, Columbia, The American Film Institute, Cal Arts, the University of Iowa, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

OVERVIEW OF FILM AND DIGITAL MEDIA

Major: The general Film and Digital Media major requires three lower-division, nine upperdivision courses in residence, and satisfaction of the senior comprehensive requirement.

Students are encouraged to complete the lower-division courses as early in their studies as possible so that the petition to full major status is accomplished no later than the first quarter of the junior year. Upon acceptance into the major, students are accepted into the Film and

Digital Media major but not into either of the concentrations.

Students are advised to take FILM 120, Introduction to Film Theory and Criticism, during the fall quarter of their second year: FILM 20A and satisfaction of the Entry Level Writing and

Composition requirements (UCSC GEs) are prerequisites for FILM 120. Completion of FILM

120 will satisfy the General Education W (writing) requirement and will prepare students for further study in upper-division Film and Digital Media courses.

Most upper-division courses offered by the Film and Digital Media Department are limited in enrollment: Admission to them is restricted based on completion of prerequisites and other major requirements.

Prior to enrolling in upper-division courses in production, digital media, or new media, students are strongly encouraged to become familiar with the basics of computers, specifically the Macintosh platform. UCSC Instructional Computing is a campus unit that offers training and support for students who need to develop their computer skills. For more information, visit their website at http://ic.ucsc.edu/ .

DECLARING THE FILM & DIGITAL MEDIA MAJOR

Please note: Indicating a major at admission only demonstrates an interest in a field of study and is not a declaration of a major or a pre-major. You must complete the prerequisite coursework with the grade standard to officially declare a Film & Digital Media major or premajor.

Pre-Major: Students who have completed one lower-division requirement (FILM 20A, 20B or

20C) with a grade of B- or better may declare the Film & Digital Media pre-major. Pre-majors are eligible for priority enrollment in certain upper-division classes (e.g., FILM 120 and 152), provided they have satisfied the necessary prerequisites.

Generally, our department advisor holds group pre-major/major declaration meetings that are advertised and scheduled during the beginning of each quarter. At these meetings, you will learn more about the program and map out a study plan for finishing the major.

When students complete their second lower-division requirement with a B- or better, they are automatically admitted to the major and do not have to meet with our advisor.

Major: Students who do not declare the pre-major are eligible to declare the Film & Digital

Media major after completion of two of the three required lower-division courses with a minimum grade of B- or better (FILM 20A and either20B or 20C). Many upper-division

F&DM classes are restricted to majors and pre-majors during pre-enrollment, so we recommend that you declare the major late in your second year or early in your junior year.

When you are ready to declare the Film & Digital Media major, you will be directed to attend a pre-major/major declaration meeting (see pre-major).

Transfer Students: All transfer students must earn a B- or higher in two 20-level courses (20A and either 20B or 20C of which at least one must be taken at UCSC) in order to declare the major. By completing one lower division course with a B- or higher, transfer students are eligible to declare the F&DM Pre-Major. Transfer students must petition the department to have equivalent lower-division courses taken at their current institution count toward their

UCSC major requirements.

As preparation, prospective transfer students are encouraged to fulfill at least one lowerdivision Film and Digital Media major requirement (Film 20A recommended) through UCSC

Summer Session prior to their transfer.

Students who do not complete at least one lower-division major requirement (Film 20A) through Summer Session, students who are interested in graduating with a double major, and students who must finish general education requirements may need additional time to complete their studies. Transfer students are strongly encouraged to speak with an academic advisor at the department office prior to enrolling in classes in order to determine their status and to be advised about the declaration of major process.

Film Minor: The minor in Film and Digital Media offers a foundation in visual culture and contributes important scholarly techniques of value to other disciplines. To declare the F&DM minor, students must complete Film 20A and one other Film 20-level course. Students earn a minor in Film and Digital Media by completing eight courses: two lower-division courses, and six upper-division courses - four from the core curriculum of the general major and two electives. There is no production component in the minor nor is there a comprehensive requirement.

Declared F&DM minors are able to enroll in the core curriculum courses (Film 120 and all of the courses in the 130s) as well as most of the upper-division courses in critical studies.

The Film & Digital Media Department sponsors many public events throughout the academic year, including special screenings, visits from renowned scholars, artists, filmmakers and other professionals in the field.

PURSUING PRODUCTION IN FILM AND DIGITAL MEDIA

Production Concentration: Students in the general Film and Digital Media major may be interested in the Production Concentration within the major. After completing Film 1 70B,

Fundamentals of Film/Video Production (see Production/Studio Courses), students may apply to the Production Concentration by submitting works completed in 170B to a portfolio review which is conducted at the end of each quarter. Committees of Film and Digital Media production faculty review the applications and works submitted and select students who will be admitted to the Production Concentration. The pathway is not reflected on the degree awarded, but students who are accepted to the Production Concentration have priority in the application selection process for future studio classes.

Production/Studio Courses: Admission to upper-division production courses is generally restricted to third- and fourth-year students. FILM 170A, Fundamentals of Digital Media

Production, or 170B, are the prerequisites to all other hands-on production courses. An application process that includes a review of courses taken and a written essay determines admission to FILM 170B.

Personal Computer Purchases: The department recognizes that students often purchase a new computer before or during their first year at UCSC. It is strongly suggested that students who plan to apply for the Production Concentration wait until they have completed some upper division F&DM courses before making this investment. Students are encouraged to consult with the department office, the web site, or Bay Tree Bookstore for a list of recommended computers, software packages, range of options, and prices.

CRITICAL STUDIES CONCENTRATION

The Critical Studies Concentration provides a more rigorous pathway through the Film and

Digital Media major and offers classes specifically reserved for seniors who have exceptional abilities. Students are eligible to apply for the Critical Studies Concentration in spring quarter of their junior year, provided they have completed FILM 120 and at least three other upperdivision critical studies classes. Applicants must already be declared Film and Digital Media majors in good standing.

Student application materials are reviewed by a committee of Film and Digital Media critical studies faculty. Admission to the Critical Studies Concentration will be granted to students who have overwhelmingly excellent evaluations, an outstanding writing sample, and a clear statement of purpose.

INTERNSHIPS, INDEPENDENT STUDIES, AND FIELD STUDIES

Internships: Many students supplement their class work by pursuing internships with outside organizations, such as production companies, community television stations and non-profit arts groups. Students may explore opportunities for internships during the regular academic year or during summer break. Information about internships is posted on bulletin boards in the Communications Building. A more extensive listing of internship opportunities can be found at the UCSC Career Center's website http://intern.ucsc.edu/student.html

. Students may earn academic credits for internships if they obtain approval from a faculty adviser.

Independent Studies: Students may choose to work with faculty guidance on individual studies in areas that are of particular interest to them and which fall outside or expand on the regular curricular offerings. Generally, these individual studies are undertaken by advanced students who work within the research area of one or more faculty. Departmental policy does not allow individual studies in the area of production.

Internship and Independent Study credits count toward total credits needed for graduation but may not be used to satisfy major requirements (including electives) in Film and Digital

Media.

FACILITIES

Campus Facilities: Across campus, classrooms, seminar rooms and lecture auditoriums of various sizes are equipped with 16mm film projectors, VCRs, laser disc and DVD players, and video/data projectors to enable close study of moving images. The Media Theater is a

Spring Quarter: During the month of April, UCSC Admissions hosts “Spring Spotlight” - a calendar of events and tours intended for newly admitted students. “Spring Spotlight” is especially valuable for students who are making their final decision in choosing a university.

During these weeks, the F&DM department offers several overviews of the program. We usually offer a tour of the facilities on the days F&DM faculty lead an overview. We may offer a tour on days when the advising staff leads an overview. Please check the website or call the department around the middle of March for details on scheduled overviews.

Faculty: Our faculty are the best resource for learning about the philosophies and foundations of the F&DM program. Faculty can explain what this program strives to teach our students and the value of an Arts education in today's world. They have more knowledge about possible careers students might choose and how this program might differ from other film programs.

Department Staff: Department staff (advisor and assistant) can offer more specific information about navigating through the major and the curriculum.

Student Representatives: At the start of Fall quarter, our faculty select two outstanding

Senior F&DM students to represent the department. In addition to various departmental duties, they serve as ambassadors between faculty and students. Our student representatives are available for prospective students to contact via email. They are a great resource and can tell you about the program and answer your questions from a student's perspective. If you are interested in emailing them, contact the department.

F&DM Public Screenings, Exhibitions and Events: The Film and Digital Media Department sponsors many screenings, lectures and artists’ visits that are open to the public. These events are excellent opportunities to experience our program and meet F&DM students and faculty.

Some upper-division courses hold public screenings and exhibitions of final projects at the end of each quarter. The "Events" page on our department website and the UCSC Campus

Calendar Website list department and campus events, respectively.

Local Film Festivals: Some of the festivals hosted by UCSC include Pacific Rim Film Festival,

CineMaíZ (Latin American Film Festival), Chautauqua (Annual Student Theater Festival),

Santa Cruz Film Festival, and Women of Color Film and Video Festival.

Policy on Tours and Visiting Classes: In general, we may offer tours during campus orientation and outreach events. As far as visiting our classes, we assess this possibility on a quarter-to-quarter basis. Class visits are not scheduled during the first two weeks of a quarter or during peak visit season (April). The decision to allow visitors is based on class size, available seats, structure of the class, and consent of the instructor. For the most part, class visits are limited to the lower-division critical studies courses and do not include opportunities to visit production classes. If you are planning a visit and would like to find out about the possibility of visiting one of our lower-division critical studies classes, contact the department prior to your visit.

Visiting the Department: You are welcome to stop by the department office during business hours during your visit. We can answer some general questions and offer you handouts, maps and directions. We encourage you to utilize this handbook and our department website for information and for additional resources. We also encourage you to plan your visit for Preview Day or during April when we are prepared to dedicate time to prospective students and their families.
