Description
The Minor in Filmmaking (FLM) invites students from all disciplines to engage in the power of the cinematic image and its relationship to storytelling. The undergraduate filmmaking minor at Stony Brook immerses students, hands-on, in the art of narrative filmmaking. Students who want to tell stories on film need a firm understanding of the power of images and sounds, a solid grasp on how to develop a compelling storyline and the technical know-how to manipulate and transform these images in a way that can inform, educate and persuade audiences of the 21st century.
