Why a film school?
Movies are the
unique art that was born from technology, in its beginnings it was projected
on a savanna into a dark room but nowadays it leaves us amazed when we watch a
film on a movie theater. It is an industry and an art, a spectacle and a
thought; it should be treated, studied and cultivated as the poetry, the
literature or as an artistic language.
This audiovisual industry is at
the present time an interesting and consolidated activity with an unbeatable
future; furthermore has a professional scenario much more open than any other
profession. It has a continuous activity because it registers very low indexes
of unemployment and receives the support of the government in many countries. It is a creative
and independent profession which enjoys a social recognition in all of their
tied activities; among others of their advantages it has a strong creative
autonomy.
A film school is an educational institution that is dedicated
to the film instruction; it means that it covers aspects like movie making that
includes film production, theory, and scriptwriting. Most of the film programs
incorporate a technical training, such as learning the use of cameras, lights
and other necessary instruments for the production of movies.
These
schools offer to students an interdisciplinary program that is focused in the
history, theory, critic of cinema, etc. they also include courses such as
Anthropology, Sociology, the Comparative Literature, Art and History.
Professionally, these programs are capable to educate students so that they can
work in a variety of careers related to the film industry.
As every
learning, teaching cinema needs experiences, affections, motivations and people
who contaminate enthusiasm; this is achieved just attending to a specialized
school, where is a lot easier to put the technology at the film message service,
that technology has metamorphosed cinema, and has made unavoidable to know about
philosophies, thoughts, histories, places, life styles and customs.
