Program details

Overview

Arts, lettres et communication, option Cinéma (500.AG), est un DEC préuniversitaire de deux ans au cégep Édouard-Montpetit. Le programme développe la créativité et le regard critique des personnes étudiantes à travers l'histoire du cinéma, le cinéma documentaire et d'autres formes médiatiques, tout en les amenant à réaliser leurs propres courts métrages, du scénario jusqu'au montage. Chaque session comprend trois cours de cinéma, dont un cours pratique axé sur la création et deux cours théoriques portant sur la construction du récit et les enjeux esthétiques du médium. L'option est offerte en collaboration avec l'option Médias et journalisme, avec laquelle les personnes étudiantes partagent des équipements professionnels et des espaces créatifs, dont un studio de tournage muni d'un écran vert. L'option donne accès aux programmes universitaires sans préalables spécifiques, notamment en communication, en études cinématographiques ou en scénarisation, et des ententes existent avec certaines universités, dont l'UQAM, pour la reconnaissance de cours. Elle convient à une personne qui aime raconter des histoires, analyser des œuvres cinématographiques et manipuler du matériel de tournage et de montage.
