Master of Fine Arts in Film & Televison Production:
The Film & Television Production program emphasizes exploration of the student filmmaker's creative voice through hands-on filmmaking. Students learn all aspects of cinematic storytelling from writing and producing to directing, post-production and cinematography. The faculty panel evaluates applications for originality, clarity, personal insight and artistic excellence.
All students who complete the SCA graduate program in Film and Television Production receive the same degree - an M.F.A. in Film and Television Production. All are introduced to the same crafts: producing, writing, directing, cinematography, editing and sound, and all learn that the test of any craft in a given project is whether it makes the project better.
The curriculum, which takes three years and requires at least 52 units, is designed to help students find their place in the media future. Each year has a perspective, from wide to narrow. In year one, each student is given a general introduction to media-making; all take the same courses and are required to practice all the basic crafts. In year two, students specialize in their personal interests, take crew positions on productions and elect craft seminars from several options. We advise developing skills in at least two crafts. Courses in film history and theory enhance the production experience.

Production/Directing MFA
The UCLA Master of Fine Arts degree in Production with an emphasis in Directing is a four year program designed to develop artists in film and video. For over half a century we have trained students in all the arts and crafts of media production while also expanding their understanding of the critical, theoretical and historical components of these art forms. Our goal is to infuse the highest standards of craftsmanship with the imaginative freedom and sense of social responsibility that gives screen storytellers such as Francis Ford Coppola (The Godfather), Alexander Payne (Sideways), Gore Verbinski (The Ring), and hundreds of others, the depth of craftsmanship that frees them to take creative risks.
At every stage of the curriculum our students are at work on their own films.
The art of collaboration
The first year of the program is an intensive workshop in the collaborative process of production that culminates in each student completing a short (2-5 minute) sync sound 16mm film. The curriculum includes film and television writing, directing, cinematography, editing, sound, and production planning.
Working closely with a faculty mentor on an advanced project
The second year of the program allows for the further development of the student-mentor relationship as the student completes an advanced directing project in narrative, non-narrative or experimental film or video, and takes critical studies and advanced craft courses.
Thesis production launched in third year
No later than the second quarter of the third year, the student begins work on his or her thesis production, which is to be completed by the end of the fourth year. Thesis productions can be in either medium, in any form, with a maximum length of 30 minutes.

MA in Film Studies:
The Master of Arts in Film Studies program offers a comprehensive course of study in film history, theory and aesthetics. Students devote a lot of time viewing films of different genres, styles, periods and national industries, reading about them and discussing their meanings and significance. The two-year program is designed to foster critical and analytical understanding of films and it provides students with advanced training in academic research and writing.
Upon finishing the intense course of study students will be able to analyze American and international films from historical, cultural, economic and ideological perspective as well as from aesthetical perspective. Students are encouraged to think out of the box to question how films bear the social and cultural influences and the ways in which important social issues are represented on screen.
Survey courses on film history and theory will equip the students with basic knowledge and skills for scholarly exploration of film and in-depth study of genres and auteurs will allow them to apply those analytical tools to individual films and filmmakers.
After completing the rigorous curriculum that includes an MA thesis writing in the second year, students will gain:
v Excellent knowledge on the development of cinema since its invention
v Analytical ability to do close readings of individual films in relation to a wide range of important questions and issues
