DIGITAL MEDIA PRODUCTION
Overview
The Digital Media Production major and minor at Dordt offers students real-world, marketable skills in film, video production, and animation. You'll learn about pre-production, production, and post-production. You'll learn how to conceptualize an idea, write a script, use proper lighting techniques, capture great audio and video, and much more. With the help of your film instructor-who happens to be an award-winning videographer-you'll find hands-on learning opportunities to work with technical equipment based on film industry standards. Thanks to intentionally limited class sizes, you'll have one-on-one attention to hone your media-making skills in a comfortable setting.
Dordt graduates go out into the world of film knowing much more than how to push the right buttons, according to digital media productions professor Mark Volkers.
“Dordt College strives to turn out technically trained graduates who are equipped to move into positions of leadership in the film and video industry," he said. "In a time when so much of the media we consume is full of empty calories, it’s time to start training people who can produce content worth consuming," Volkers says.
The digital media productions major brings Hollywood possibilities to your fingertips, all from an academically and biblically grounded basis. These courses will challenge you to work hard at developing your film-making skills and to serve the Lord in one of the most influential fields in our world.
