Facilities and Equipment

Students enrolled in Denison production classes shoot in both 16mm film and digital video formats and use both flatbed systems and Final Cut Pro to edit their projects. The Cinema Department is located in the newly renovated Cinema House (formerly known as Cleveland Annex). Here you will find faculty and staff offices, student lounge, a state-of-the-art screening room, production equipment, a Steenbeck flatbed editing room, and five MacPro media stations (more MacPro media stations are located in the Mulberry Inter-media eXperimental (MIX) lab [pdf]).

Students enrolled in CINE 219: Elementary Cinema Production work with 16mm black and white reversal film.

In CINE 310: Video Theory/Production students work in NTSC 720x480 MiniDV format and edit using Final Cut Pro.

In CINE 410: Advanced Cinema Production students work with 16mm color negative film which is transferred to MiniDV format and edited on Final Cut Pro.

In CINE 419 Cinema Workshop students are able to use the department's finest equipment, and can edit and finish their projects in either standard or HD resolution. The completed films are showcased annually in the Denison Film Festival.
