FPS Equipment Usage Policy

The grip/electric and camera equipment housed in FPS ( Production Services) is intended solely for use in FTV production courses and related projects. Students may not check out equipment to use on personal projects.


Student Script Library

The Film and Television Department has created a Script Library to bring together FTV student writers, directors, and producers who would like to collaborate. If you are interested in either uploading your script or using a fellow students’ script in your production, go to https://scripts.bu.edu/scriptshare. Note you must get permission from the writer to use their work.

Prerequisite Courses

These are courses for which there are certain requirements necessary in order to register. These requirements may include any combination of the following: taking another course first, earning a certain grade in a previous course, or permission of the department. The Department of Film and Television enforces pre-requisites, even though it may be possible to register for a class without having taken them. Students wishing to be exempt from a pre-requisite must petition the department.
