Television and Video Production

In BCIT’s Television and Video Production program, students will train thoroughly for the behind-the-scenes jobs available in the growing world of video production. This includes working closely with industry professionals to learn the skills today’s employers are looking for, all to help prepare for a dream career as an editor, video producer, film maker, and more.

Through BCIT’s Television & Video Production diploma program, students prepare and deliver programming that’s broadcast weekly on Shaw TV, streamed online, and delivered through online video services. As part of earning experience in every facet of production, students rotate through various roles, including writing scripts, shooting and editing, directing, lighting, and audio mixing. Because BCIT’s first goal is to prepare students for a successful career, they regularly update and adapt the course offerings and hours to meet changing industry conditions and demands. Some classes and practicums may take place outside of normal class hours, including evenings and weekends to offer flexible training opportunities for students.

To give students even more current, relevant experience, students participate in a four-week practicum with a TV station, film studio, or media production company to learn on the job and develop connections throughout the industry.
