*Please apply by April 11, 2008 for priority consideration*

 

This 9-week summer program brings together students interested in 
digital media production and environmental studies to learn about 
important issues of the global ocean from a local, California 
perspective. A coordinated series of interdisciplinary courses and 
related activities introduces students to scriptwriting; media 
portrayals of the environment; the biological, socio-economic, and 
political aspects of marine conservation; and the latest innovations in 
environmental filmmaking. 

 

Students will gain the skills necessary to communicate effectively with 
their peers, scientists, policymakers, and the general public by 
producing short, compelling videos. Issues such as marine protected 
areas, sustainable fishing, watershed ecosystems, beach erosion, 
aquaculture, and others will be closely studied, providing a foundation 
for the research necessary to produce an informative film.  Techniques 
of digital video camera operations, sound gathering, lighting, and 
editing with industry standard Final Cut Pro will also be covered.

 

Please see the attached flyer for program details. 

 

This Program is open to undergraduate and graduate students in all 
disciplines, but the criteria for acceptance include a demonstrated 
preparation in media or biological sciences. Questions can be addressed
