Program overview
The Theater, Film, and TV Directing program teaches you how to turn a story into a complete film, TV series, or stage play. Core courses include directing fundamentals, script analysis, audiovisual language, performance coaching, editing and post-production, and cinematography composition. You'll learn how to analyze scripts, communicate with actors, use the camera to convey emotions, and even shoot your own short films. Many Chinese universities (such as Beijing Film Academy and Central Academy of Drama) have strong practical traditions in this field, offering extensive filming equipment and crew internship opportunities. This program is ideal for those who love storytelling, are creative, can handle pressure, and enjoy teamwork. If you're passionate about film and theater, not satisfied with just watching works, and want to create them yourself, this major is a great fit.
