FILMMAKING & MEDIA STUDIES
Creating Real World Opportunities: Media Studies Program
A Lifelong Journey: Sacred Heart Greenwich Alumnae in the Media
A Legacy of Love: 15th Anniversary of David J. Bloom Broadcast Studio
Welcome to Media Studies 2023
WHO WE ARE
The Media Studies program at Sacred Heart Greenwich offers students the opportunity to learn in a hands-on, real-world environment. After a year in the Intro to Filmmaking elective, Upper School students can specialize in Multimedia Production, Creative Filmmaking, Real World Filmmaking or Digital Communications. The annual Film Festival allows students to share their work with a wide audience. Media Studies provides the foundation for a lifelong journey as many of our alumnae pursue careers in the field. Students learn from alumnae as class speakers and mentors via the Alumnae Media Network.
Filmmaking students expand their 21st century media skills by studying web design, podcasting, sportscasting, and social media content creation. Each student completes a web portfolio of their work. Follow us at @lightscameraheart & @heart_sportscasting to learn more.
