THE
FLAGSTAFF
EXPERIENCE
Text patrick roovers design thijs rijken
As many of you will know, the International Media
and Entertainment Management students of the
Digital Academy for Entertainment get the
opportunity to travel to Flagstaff, Arizona in their
third year. While in Flagstaff they attend Northern
Arizona University for three weeks to complete
one of the toughest courses of the program: Media
Production. Completing this course earns a student
11 ECT’s and involves live television production and
the production of a news segment. Students follow
classes taught by NAU lecturers to learn the
different tasks involved in producing a live television
show. Working in groups, students are given the
task to produce a show which highlights some of the
most interesting and fun aspects of living in or
visiting the Flagstaff area. Past shows have talked
about extreme sports, ghost stories, and the
beautiful landscape of Arizona, just to name a few.
