All the same, good luck for real!

I've looked up all of the classes that I'm required to take for this major and I think it's very well-rounded. It may not be as hardcore as a film major from like USC or NYU, but when I graduate my degree will be in film all the same.Christianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10026098696817345791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6869038346937176359.post-68731558094387712642009-11-13T20:56:41.864-08:002009-11-13T20:56:41.864-08:00Sweet man!

But Honestly though, and this is just my 2 cents, I'd get a degree in English or something where you write a lot. If that's the side of the industry you are more interested in, you gotta practice and practice and practice it. If you are more interested in the business side, then study business. I don't want to discourage you from getting your major in film, but I you'll get double the mileage out of turning your degree, in whatever field it's in, towards whatever it is you want to do in the film/television industry. That will show the powers that be how adept you are at thinking across borders and such. If you do want to study film, I would suggest doing it in grad school at a place like AFI in LA or Circle in the Square at NYU. Either way though, you'll only be doing it to make contacts. Ask anyone on any crew you work with, if they're really good at their jobs, they'll be able to teach you just as much if not more than you could ever learn at any school. Hope this helps!

By the way, I might be getting a film major at UAB. It's an individually designed major, but it's still a concentration in film all the same.Christianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10026098696817345791noreply@blogger.com
