Program overview
Film and Television Production, simply put, teaches you how to capture beautiful images with a camera and edit them into a complete story. Unlike pure theoretical art history, this major is very hands-on—you'll learn photography basics (aperture, shutter speed, composition), lighting setup (how to make actors look more beautiful or more terrifying), recording techniques (sound is also part of the story), editing software (Premiere, DaVinci Resolve), and directorial thinking (how to arrange shots to guide the audience's rhythm). Core courses include 《Film and Television Photography Techniques》, 《Lighting Design》, 《Digital Image Color Grading》, 《Short Film Creation》, etc. Many Chinese universities (such as Beijing Film Academy, Communication University of China) have strong practical resources in this field, with studios, 4K color grading rooms on campus, and even access to the latest virtual production technology. It's suitable for students who love watching movies, have a keen eye for visuals, aren't afraid to tinker with equipment, and are willing to stay up late editing. If you're creative and enjoy teamwork (filmmaking is never a one-person job), this major will be very fulfilling.
