media, film and communications

our media, film and communications program provides you with a well-rounded, interdisciplinary education emphasizing the critical analysis of media and the development of production skills.  to gain a broad field of knowledge about the industry, you will explore topics related to the following media: 

  • video
  • new media
  • design
  • tv
  • radio
  • sound art

 our media, film and communications program will particularly allow you to immerse yourself in the cutting-edge world of social media – from production to dissemination to analysis – and beyond.

you will get the opportunity to work with world-renowned media production instructors, such as chelsea mcmullan and coco guzman, analog and digital media, and top-of-the-line technology and software:

  • mac and pc computers
  • adobe creative suite
  • audacity open source software
  • video cameras (including mic kits and tripods)
  • audio recorders

through hands-on labs and workshops, you will learn how new media is an accessible way to engage with our world and to challenge systemic problems like sexism, racism, homophobia, and social injustices of all kinds. if you are interested in learning how and why your cell phone has just as much cultural power as cnn, this program is for you.

in addition to media analysis and media production courses, you will have access to internship opportunities (with places such as orillia museum of art and history, rogers television, and the orillia opera house) and projects that allow you to put your theoretical knowledge into creative practice. 

lakehead advantage

at lakehead you will learn how you can make a difference through courses such as the following:

  • alternative new media
  • media framing of immigration
  • anti-racist and aboriginal media in canada
  • surveillance and society
  • disability rights and media
  • women, technology and cyberculture
  • documentary production
  • media, art and activism

many of our courses touch on a wide range of disciplines and are cross-listed with the women's studies, visual arts, political science and sociology departments. 

we encourage you to take advantage of the friendly, personal learning environment and reach out to faculty for course help as well as potential job and/or mentorship opportunities.
