General Information
UCF FILM offers two undergraduate degrees: a B.F.A. in Production (Narrative, Documentary, or Experimental) and a B.A. in Cinema Studies. The Production track is limited access, requiring a separate application and creative portfolio for admission. Cinema Studies is an open major and enrollment is not limited.
UCF FILM students create around 200 shorts each school year and retain ownership of the films they create. Once beyond foundational DV-based classes, the most popular shooting formats are 24P digital video, 16mm and 35mm. Film camera packages are usually rented from our good friends at Panavision Orlando.
Shoots last between one and five days. Each student raises their own budgets, which range from $5 to $20,000. Budgets cover the costs of required goods and services beyond what is provided by UCF. All the shorts featured below are UCF student or faculty productions currently playing film festivals somewhere around the world.

Wow, I thought this school was ok, I heard that they have internships and stuff that you can do at cool places like for disney and universal, does anyone know about how easy it is to get into? isn't getting a job a really hard thing after, and so i would think it is really helpfull if they give you internships that you can use. also, what kinds of camera's do they have? Thanks for your help.

I don't think this school is very good, just that the teachers were uninspiring, they hadn't really done much in their careers, and one even seemed a little pervy to me. He would get girls to help with his films which were always based around girls running around in bikinis or naked. f'n' wierd...
It's like this place sucks the passion and energy right out of the students instaed of getting us to be more passionate and knowledgable about filmaking and storytelling. This basically stiffles artistic growth, which most of the other students who went there with me felt. Don't go to this school.
The internships at any school
The internships at any school are really competitive to get into, there are very few of them, you have to have the support of your teachers, and amazing grades. The school is a school. Its just there to teach you how to use cameras, editing, cinematography, etc. if you want more from it, then you have to seak it out.
Contrary to chrisg below, the school is really not that bad. You can't expect to have things handed to you. The school has decent equipment, and now they have some sweet non-linear studios. The teachers are really not that bad. They might be a little jaded, but their not pathetic or anything. In fact, the school has got some new faculty and new heads of departments, so things are always changing. All in All, its a good school, if you want more info just check out the website.
