Based at the Aoyama Community Lab (ACL), this is an internship-style, irregular seminar class that works both on and off campus, collaborating with external organizations such as the local community, companies, and government agencies. Students choose an interest from 14 projects, including video, music, and culture, and learn by participating in a company's "workplace."

PICK UP LECTURES
This course provides a foundation for students to study in preparation for full-scale practical classes from the third year. There are 22 courses in various fields, including social sciences, humanities, cities and regions, and natural sciences. These courses are designed to provide theoretical knowledge in contrast to the practical education offered by the "Lab and Atelier Training."
In film production, the three main people involved are the producer, the director, and the actors. In this class, you will learn about the production process and projects from the perspective of a producer who views film from an industrial perspective. You will understand that film production is a field that requires managerial skills.
