The film industry has always been a dream destination for creatives eager to bring their stories to life on the big screen (or TV screens, nowadays). We understand that breaking into such a competitive field requires more than passion—it demands skill, experience, consistency, and connections. While this career path can seem overwhelming, don’t fret- because that’s where MediaTech Institute’s Digital Film and Video Production program comes in. We pride ourselves by equipping aspiring filmmakers with the tools and knowledge they need to start their journey in this fast-paced industry.
Hands-On Learning with Industry-Standard Equipment
At MediaTech Institute, students don’t just learn about filmmaking—they actively become filmmakers. The comprehensive Digital Film and Video Production program emphasizes practical, hands-on experience from day one. Whether it’s filming, editing, or managing production logistics, students engage directly with every step of the filmmaking process. Students get to experience different roles on set, and can discover the right fit for them in an on-set environment. Working with industry-standard cameras, editing software, sound equipment and more ensures that graduates are job-ready from the moment they leave the classroom.
Mastering the Art and Science of Filmmaking
The curriculum at MediaTech is designed to provide a well-rounded education in filmmaking. Students explore essential aspects of the craft, including:
- Pre-production: Developing scripts, storyboarding, and planning shoots.
- Production: Operating cameras, lighting scenes, and directing actors.
- Post-production: Editing footage, designing soundscapes, and adding visual effects.
These courses are taught by industry professionals like writer and director Natasha Paris, who brings real-world experience to the classroom. The unique mentorship opportunities available to students who seek them out at MTI ensure that students not only learn the techniques but also have real-world advice to apply to the dynamic challenges of the film industry.
Networking Opportunities That Matter
One of the key advantages of studying at MediaTech Institute is the opportunity for go-getters to build a professional network. Collaborating with like-minded classmates and learning from experienced faculty helps students develop connections that can open doors to future projects. Students who wish to do so can collaborate with the Recording Arts department, and can start projects with like-minded, goal-oriented students who hope to create. The Dallas area has many incentives for filmmakers to make their movies here, and by graduating from MTI, you’ll have a built-in network and head start on getting involved in our local industry.
