In this course, students learn a variety of skills in managing and presenting digital photographic work. They develop a workflow that enables them to work efficiently and effectively in a photography studio and present work to clients professionally. Students learn research skills that enable them to keep current with trends and technology related to their industry.
In this course, students will apply the processes of videography production by designing videos involving images, video and sound design. They will practice the production cycle and all of its parts from concept development, to storyboarding, script writing, recording, editing, and refinement.
In this course, students learn traditional film-based technologies to create highly detailed silver-based prints. They explore advanced aspects of the darkroom process including the functions of a variety of cameras, how to operate enlargers, and effectively use lenses.
In this course, students learn to control and apply artificial light, a skill central to producing industrial, commercial and fine art photography. In standard studio lighting situations, they see how basic lighting theories, with regard to lighting ratios, colour temperature and quality of light, affect photographs technically and aesthetically. Students operate a variety of tools such as light meters, continuous lights and studio flash units, leading them to refine the control of light in creative and professional applications.
The Foundation Visual Arts (FVA) Certificate is a 1-year program that offers you a wide-ranging overview of the practice, theory and history of the visual arts. Before you begin honing your craft or digital practice, learn the language to communicate visual arts. Students new to the arts will start in this preparatory course before their two-year Diploma program.
