Brooks Institute's comprehensive Film and Video curricula offer hands-on study of professional film-making and production techniques -- which includes everything from proposals and budgeting to scripting, editing, and directing. The facility is located on approximately 8 acres, occupying about 70,000 square feet of work space. Formerly a motion picture studio, the campus is complete with a back lot and fully equipped sound stages, one of which is 27,000 square feet. Teamwork is essential to film production, and in this photography school, students share responsibilities as cinematographers, scriptwriters, lighting and sound technicians, and editors to complete a professional-quality project. Each student's portfolio production is treated as a real work situation, in which the student forms a production company and contracts to deliver the film.
