About This Program

Students interested in video and film, whether in front of or behind the camera, may select the recently expanded Studio Production major. Students may select from concentrations in Television and Video, Digital Film-Making, or Broadcast Journalism.

All Studio Production students will complete the Studio Production Core, which will give students an overview of concept development, animation, digital image manipulation and basic photography. Students will learn the basics of audio and video, as well as single camera video and television studio production, non-linear editing, and studio and location lighting. All students will also study advanced script writing, the legal aspects of communication and media research methods. Students will finalize the studio production core with a senior project and internship.

In addition to the Studio Production core, and the General Studies core required of all Wilmington University students, Studio Production students will select a concentration from among the three career tracks:

Television and Video

Students interested in careers in television and video will study documentary and corporate video production, television production and location lighting, and will also learn to produce and direct drama for television and film.
