A student whose GPA (Grade Point Average) is below 2.5 will be dropped from the FVNM track and placed into the Media and Cultural Studies track. A GPA of 2.5 is required for transfer into the program.

By the end of the semester, you will have assumed new skills, (or advanced your skills), for camera work, editing, lighting, sound, etc. You will produce a number of short videos for presentation to the class and grade points. All video work should hold emotion and convey a sense of direction. Do not be afraid of taking risks with each assignment. This is a liberal environment. Students must supply proper production notes with each assignment when requested. Grades for all production assignments are based on the work in progress, formal screenings, and the required proposals and paperwork. For each individual production assignment, marks will be distributed into a number of categories.
