Producing II summary
Producing II examines entertainment economics within UCLA's Film and Television curriculum. Its appeal is the connection between producing and the business side of entertainment.
Expect an academic course with graded work rather than a filmmaking camp. Successful completion produces a formal UCLA academic record.
It suits students who want to test their interest in entertainment business and can manage accelerated college-level study.
What is Producing II: Entertainment Economics Summer Intensive Course?
Producing II is UCLA Summer Sessions' FILM TV 183B course, focused on entertainment economics within Film and Television. It belongs to the Summer Intensives offering and provides an academic route into the business side of producing.
The course is offered online and carries upper-division undergraduate numbering. Students undertake accelerated UCLA coursework, receive a final course grade, and can earn college credit recorded on a UCLA transcript after successful completion.
Why Succeed highlights Producing II
The entertainment-economics focus connects an interest in film with academic study of its business context.
Upper-division course numbering offers a meaningful test of readiness for advanced college coursework.
UCLA credit and a formal transcript give successful study a documented academic outcome.
Instructor and teaching-assistant office hours provide a practical route to resolving difficult material.
Who is Producing II for?
Best for
Students curious about entertainment economics who want an academic challenge and can protect time for concentrated college-level study.
Not ideal if
You mainly want a practical filmmaking camp or need a course that fits around substantial absences and competing commitments.
Is Producing II worth it?
This course is worth considering if your interest lies in the economic side of entertainment and you want to test that interest through graded university coursework. A UCLA transcript makes the academic work concrete, while instructor office hours offer support when the pace becomes demanding.
The main trade-off is the accelerated workload of an upper-division course. Credit transfer depends on the receiving institution, and attending UCLA Summer Sessions does not confer an admissions advantage to UCLA or the UC system.
