So moving pictures is more your speed, eh? Ok, you can do this. We will help. This field has too many facets to give it to you all at once, so you’ll have the opportunity concentrate in a certain area. Learn how to integrate this complex process and work with others in different concentrations to put together documentaries, features, television shows and commercials.
Film & Video Writing
You want to be the next Ben Damon, Matt Affleck, or whatever. Great! You'll learn all the aspects of writing for the media and then have the opportunity to specialize. Whether it's for television or film, in humor or for documentaries, you'll learn how to cram yourself in a room and hammer out sensical dialog (as opposed to nonsensical).
Directing
Cut! Being a director takes more than shouting 'cut' after you've shot that one great scene. It's taking all aspects, writing shooting, editing, and integrating them. It takes vision, baby, to lead the team. It ain't about skill, this is pure talent.
Producing
Producers are some of the richest in the business. So how'd they get there? More importantly: how do you get there. Producers have a knack for communicating the vision to the director and then managing the shoot. It's all about budgets, costs, and union strikes. It can get high stress, but remember they're rich.
Shooting
Shooting a film is a lot like giving birth to a child. Actually, it's not but if you were just thinking about how to shoot childbirth, this may be your calling. Without understanding the conceptual aspect behinds the shots you're taking, no amount of technical skills in the world will save you. Learn about angles, lighting, and shadows for different genres help make you conceptually strong. You can do this, just breathe.
Editing
We're talking long hours and way too much time spent with Final Cut Pro. But staying overnight and sleeping in a video booth definitely has its rewards. You wanna edit? Ok, edit you shall as you learn to conceptually piece together a story as one of arguably the most important steps along the way.
