Why Study Multimedia at HPU?

Our two Multimedia baccalaureate programs, B.A. in Multimedia Cinematic Production and B.A. in Integrated Multimedia, combine digital imaging, web design, audio-video production and editing. In these programs, studentslearn highly sought after camera and computer skills through hands-on, project-based learning. Students will write, direct, produce, shoot, digitally manipulate, and publish their projects privately and publicly on the Web and other venues. Unlike other programs that might be more theoretical, these programs combine classroom in-struction with practical application. Students will receivegrounding in the history of modern media and critical discourse about their favorite TV shows, feature films, video games, and other emerging media and technolo-gies. We require students to address a full array of design and production tools from digital imaging, to audio-videoproduction and nonlinear editing, to motion graphics, web design and traditional photography. This allows students to become not only highly valued workers in production- oriented industries, but self-sufficient, autonomous producersin their own right.

Why Study Multimedia in Hawai‘i?

The islands of Hawai‘i are a renowned location for cinematic and television productions in part because of the varied topography and micro-climates available. Hawai‘i can represent tropical vistas, beach fronts, mountain forests, rain forests, jungles, swamps, desert landscapes, volcanic terrain and nearly everything in between. Plus, the island of O‘ahu has many thriving cultural communities and a rich variety of inhabitants and visitors to engage with from across the globe. Distinct cultural settingsto draw inspiration from include town and country, (sub)urban, metropolitan, old world Chinatown, missionary and colonial era, tiki-culture, and the celebrated Honolulu music scene and nightlife. This multicultural setting is an excellent environment for aspiring producers, writers, visual artists, designers and storytellers. Furthermore, our Multimedia programs work closely with the professional community through lectures, screenings, exhibitions, production and broadcasting opportunities, and through our collaborations with diverse organizations like the Hawai‘i International Film Festival, Thinktech Hawaii and other partnerships.

Integrated Multimedia Program

Overview

The Integrated Multimedia degree prepares students to work and produce in online, mass media,information and entertainment industries. This major focuses on developing multiple media literacy competencies, analytic abilities and narrative skills. In this program, students develop mixed media portfolios and capstone projects. The applied audio-visual, graphical and online skills that students learn are formed by a foundation in communication and critical analysis, and an emphasis on visual and narrative design. Students are introduced to a comprehensive range of digital imaging and web design software and techniques, as well as audio-visual production and digital nonlinear editing. Curriculum is designed so that students create personalized and professional portfolio assets from their first semester of engagement. Specialized courses in motion graphics, mobile design, game design, industry internship, and writing for emerging media allow students to tailor their experience to relevant goals and aspirations.

Multimedia Cinematic Production

Program Overview The Multimedia Cinematic Production degree prepares students to work and produce in the audio-visual, mass media, information

and entertainment industries. The major focuses on developing multiple media literacy competencies, analytic abilities and narrative skills. In this program, students can choose a cap-stone project focusing on a Creative Narrative Production or a Documentary Production. The program is both field and studio-oriented, where students are required to work as individuals and in collaboration on a variety of creative and fact-based projects. Students have the opportunity to write, produce, shoot, edit and publish their original work, as well as produce public service television and radio broadcasts. Capstone projects also allow students to interface with inter-national competitions and festivals.

HANDS-ON EXPERIENCEProduction work often allows students to enter the Hawai‘i community, where they engage in narrative productions, documentaries, professional web design, illustration, photography,television and radio production, competitive art and other creative

activities. Students are required to write, design, and publish with laptops, mobile and tablet devices, as well as traditional

methods, such as pen and paper, journals and othercollaborative media.

In the Integrated Multimedia program, an Intern-ship Practicum is required and facilitated by the

Department of Communication. Students choose a company in the community to work with. Past internships include Clear Channel

Communication, Time-Warner Cable, Tom Moffat Productions, KHON-TV, KHNL-TV, KITV-TV, Thinktech Hawaii, multimedia production com-panies, advertising and PR agencies.

Several venues exist for our multimedia students to be able to exhibit and publish their work, including dedicated websites, International Film Festival collaborations, and the University’s First Look Mixed MediaExhibition at the end of the academic year. At First Look, students have the opportunity to exhibit 2-D and 3-D art, sculpture, digital imaging and photography in a downtown gallery setting; and exhibit their cinematic productions in a theatrical venue.

CAREER OPTIONSOur Multimedia programs prepare students to work in a wide array of industries and businesses,including traditional communications, information and entertainment, advertising and public relations, web design, graphic design, photography, television broadcasting, radio and journalism.Many of our students use their baccalaureate education to pursue graduate level degrees in such disciplines as Communication, Education, Cinematic Arts, Critical Studies, Interactive Design, Information and Computer Programming. Many of our students also find themselves in front of or behind the camera in broadcast journalism, working as designers, photographers,writers, and other creative and technical positions.
