Multimedia and Cinematic Productions Program Brochure by Hawaii Pacific University

Multimedia Programs Why Study Multimedia dia at HPU? Our two Multimedia baccalaureate programs, B.A. in Multimedia Cinematic Production and B.A. in Integrated Multimedia, combine digital imaging, web design, audiovideo production and editing. In these programs, students learn highly sought after camera and computer skills through hands-on, project-based learning. Students will write, direct, produce, shoot, digitally manipulate, and publish their projects privately and publicly on the Web and other venues. Unlike other programs that might be more theoretical, these programs combine classroom instruction with practical application. Students will receive grounding in the history of modern media and critical discourse about their favorite TV shows, feature films, video games, and other emerging media and technolo-gies. We require students to address a full array of design n and production tools from digital imaging, to audio-video o production and nonlinear editing, to motion graphics, web b design and traditional photography. This allows students to become not only highly valued workers in productionnoriented industries, but self-sufficient, autonomous producers rs in their own right.

Why Study Multimedia in Hawai‘i? The islands of Hawai‘i are a renowned location for cinematic and television productions in part because of the varied topography and micro-climates available. Hawai‘i can represent tropical vistas, beach fronts, mountain forests, rain forests, jungles, swamps, desert landscapes, volcanic terrain and nearly everything in between. Plus, the island of O‘ahu has many thriving cultural communities and a rich variety of inhabitants and visitors to engage with from across the globe. Distinct cultural settings to draw inspiration from include town and country, (sub)urban, metropolitan, old world Chinatown, missionary and colonial era, tiki-culture, and the celebrated Honolulu music scene and nightlife. This multicultural setting is an excellent environment for aspiring producers, writers, visual artists, designers and storytellers. Furthermore, our Multimedia programs work closely with the professional community through lectures, screenings, exhibitions, production and broadcasting opportunities, and through our collaborations with diverse organizations like the Hawai‘i International Film Festival, Thinktech Hawaii and other partnerships.

Integrated Multimedia Program Overview The Integrated Multimedia degree prepares students to work and produce in online, mass media, information and entertainment industries. This major focuses on developing multiple media literacy competencies, analytic abilities and narrative skills. In this program, students develop mixed media portfolios and capstone projects. The applied audio-visual, graphical and online skills that students learn are formed by a foundation in communication and critical analysis, and an emphasis on visual and narrative design. Students are introduced to a comprehensive range of digital imaging and web design software and techniques, as well as audio-visual production and digital nonlinear editing. Curriculum is designed so that students create personalized and professional portfolio assets from their first semester of engagement. Specialized courses in motion graphics, mobile design, game design, industry internship, and writing for emerging media allow students to tailor their experience to relevant goals and aspirations.

HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE Production work often allows students to enter the Hawai‘ii community, where they engage in narrative productions, documentaries, professional web design, illustration, photography, television and radio production, competitive art and other creative activities. Students are required to write, design, and publish with laptops, mobile and tablet devices, as well as traditional methods, such as pen and paper, journals and other collaborative media. In the Integrated Multimedia program, an Internship Practicum is required and facilitated by the Department of Communication. Students choose a company in the community to work with. Past internships include Clear Channel Communication, Time-Warner Cable, Tom Moffat Productions, KHON-TV, KHNL-TV, KITV-TV, Thinktech Hawaii, multimedia production companies, advertising and PR agencies.

Several venues exist for our multimedia students to be able to exhibit and publish their work, including dedicated websites, International Film Festival collaborations, and the University’s First Look Mixed Media Exhibition at the end of the academic year. At First Look, students have the opportunity to exhibit 2-D and 3-D art, sculpture, digital imaging and photography in a downtown gallery setting; and exhibit their cinematic productions in a theatrical venue.

CAREER OPTIONS Our Multimedia programs prepare students to work in a wide array of industries and businesses, including traditional communications, information and entertainment, advertising and public relations, web design, graphic design, photography, television broadcasting, radio and journalism. Many of our students use their baccalaureate education to pursue graduate level degrees in such disciplines as Communication, Education, Cinematic Arts, Critical Studies, Interactive Design, Information and Computer Programming. Many of our students also find themselves in front of or behind the camera in broadcast journalism, working as designers, photographers, writers, and other creative and technical positions.
