Film and Video Production Degrees and Careers

Have you ever secretly dreamed of being the person who sat in the director's chair? A degree in film and video production just might be the thing that gets you there.

Besides directing, careers in film and video production include producer, sound engineer, broadcaster, camera person, and editor. Whether you want to run the entire show from behind the scenes, or become a specialist in an area like sound, a degree in film and video production will give you the technical training and experience you need to enter your dream career.

Many people think that to be involved in film production, you have to move to New York or Los Angeles. But because films and television shows are filmed in locations all over the country, you may be able to work without leaving home. And local television stations and news networks always need people in the neighborhood, so film and video production careers can be found virtually everywhere.
