The Department of Cinema and Digital Media has teaching facilities that offer students the opportunity to acquire and practice a variety of production skills, including digital imaging, digital video, digital sound, web design, and other aspects of digital production. Hands-on classes in film production, video editing, sonic arts, computer graphics and animation are held in our Mac computer lab, Sound lab, Electronics lab, and in the Photography, Digital Media and Video labs. Each of our facilities has technical staff on site to support instructional activities and provide training with equipment.

These rooms have highly specialized cinema equipment suited to the department’s purposes in not only screening films but, crucially, in meeting the needs of CDM in teaching design, construction, analysis and critique of film and digital media in specific classes. This equipment provides the specialized audio-visual needs for these classes.

Sound Lab
Students in Sonic Arts courses use the Sound Lab to acquire and practice techniques of recording, editing, mixing and synthesis to combine voice, field recordings and electronic signals. Here students learn to incorporate a broad spectrum of live, recorded and found sounds to create multidimensional stories and present them as live performances, audio recordings and sound installations.
The Mac lab, Sound lab, and Electronics labs are located in the Art Annex, along with our large lecture room, used for film screenings, lectures and speaker events in addition to classes.
Photography, Digital Media and Video
Photography, Digital Media and Video facilities are located in the basement of the Maria Manetti Shrem Art Hall.
