Digital Filmmaking Associate in Applied Science—Transfer (97 cr)
Olympic College's Digital Filmmaking Program offers
students a unique blend of film theory and practical
hands-on training. Our students learn the craft and
techniques of narrative storytelling while acquiring the
technical skills and artistic sensibilities necessary to
compete in the new emerging frontier of digital
filmmaking.
Our curriculum integrates concentrated classroom study
of all the major filmmaking disciplines with intensive
hands-on experience in student film projects because our
philosophy stipulates that the fruits of theory realize full
maturity in the practical application of the art.
While the focus of our program is the narrative fiction
film, the artistic and technical skills acquired by our
students are transferable to television, commercials,
documentaries, music videos and the blossoming new
arena of episodic web content. This program is dedicated
to serving the authentic needs of the modern dramatic
artists of the 21st century.
Our educational philosophy clearly declares that the
contemporary dramatic artist is a digital artist. This is of
vital importance because knowledge and training in
digital movie making means higher employment for our
students upon graduation.
