Workstations used are Adobe Premiere with Pinnacle ReelTime. Students complete individual and group projects and develop and present their portfolios. Upon successful completion of the program, each student will have produced a portfolio that features a broad range of new media projects and incorporates graphics, animation, audio and video. Students will have a variety of production credits, including at least one producer credit for a group project. Lab and production time takes place outside of these hours.
Students can expect to spend twelve hours per day or more at the school, six days a week.
While the school does not discourage students from pursuing their own projects, it is understood that as a student the majority of your time will and should be directed toward assigned projects. As an educational institution, VFS requires all work done on the premises to be non-commercial. Certificates are issued according to grade levels, which are determined not only by the quality of new media projects during the program and also by the student's level of commitment to the program, based on work marks and attendance. Credits are not transferable to college or university. A graduation ceremony takes place on campus in the form of a public screening in the Main Theatre.
