Students will have at least one production course each semester and produce one to two projects in each of those classes (either individually or as a group). Students screen at least one project each semester at Winter or Spring Cineplex, the conservatory’s bi-annual student film festival.

Incoming freshmen are not expected to have a lot of experience prior to applying (although, it’s great if a student has already made some short films). If a student is applying as a new sophomore or junior, editing, camera and narrative storytelling experience is required in order for the student to be able to enter and succeed in classes in his/her grade level.

Students train on Adobe Premiere Pro and have access to Da Vinci Resolve.

We begin training students on our RED cameras in their junior year.

Write stories and make films! The application and placement activity will require you to submit a visual sample, writing sample and attend an interview. Learn the three-act structure of storytelling and practice telling visual stories with your phone or camera. We can train you on the equipment, but look to you for original storytelling and a strong work ethic. You’ll make a lot of fun projects with us!

Most of the courses are film-related, but students take at least one TV production course each year. Students have the opportunity to create their own live news magazine-style show, produce a web series, and tape a live performing arts event. While the television side focuses more on scripted and arts content, rather than news journalism, the school does produce a live daily news show for OCSA students and faculty/staff outside of conservatory called The Art Attack Live.

No. The conservatory will provide all necessary film equipment and software for you. However, if students have their own gear, they are welcome to use it to complete most class projects.

We use RED, Blackmagic and Canon digital cameras for film and Sony and Panasonic cameras for television. 

The conservatory has lens kits, boom mics, wireless/wired mics, tripods, C-stands, flags, LED light kits, camera rigs, dollies, camera stabilizers, and grip/gaff accessories. We also have a fly pack for remote live television productions.

Conservatory facilities include a full-service TV studio, control room, film studio, Foley studio with audio mixing room, as well as editing suites, an iMac computer lab, and two classrooms.
