The department has fully equipped production facilities, including a state-of-the-art production studio, film and video editing suites, student radio and audio labs and digital imaging labs. Media production students have access to non-linear digital film and video editing (Avid, Final Cut Pro, iMovie and Pro Tools) and linear tape editing; a three-camera studio with jib arm; computer controlled lighting; and broadcast standard digital special effects capabilities. Camera production for Super-8mm and 16mm film is also supported, along with growing digital imaging tools and web-based applications. These facilities are housed in the Department's media labs in Haag Hall.
The nationally syndicated literary program "New Letters on the Air" is produced in association with the department and is broadcast on KCUR-FM, the 100,000-watt public radio station licensed to the University of Missouri-Kansas City. Internships are available to qualified students; they should contact the department for more information. |
