Best Film Schools to Choose From
All schools have different factors to offer. That’s the reason why schools have varied identities and characteristics. You must have heard from different people how the school is blamed for a certain image that an individual projects to the public. For instance the statement: “Well, he is like that since he came from the So and So University. All students who graduated from that school behave in that way.” And this interference is not without logic. A specific culture and characteristic is attributed to a certain school because of peer pressure.
So, determining the best film school is easy. The answer is: it actually depends on what you hope to become in your film school experience. Every particular film school has its certain attributes and features that the best thing you have to do is to find it out first. The country where this school is found plays an important role in finding out the character of a specific film school.
There are a lot of aspects to consider: the type of courses offered, the length of time each subject is covered, the number of written modules versus the number of actual practice, the incorporators of the college and the course itself, guests appearing in certain key lectures, and the reputation the school exudes and whether that would really matter in the end of the course. I believe it always does. It aids you in how you move in the world, whether you go up or down. However, in the real film industry, degrees are not that valuable and what weighs more is track record and past experience. No amount of argument can win against track record and innate talent. A few samples of schools that have impeccable status and repute are the following:
American Film Institute
New York University
California State of the Arts
University of Southern California
University of California – Los Angeles
Outside of the United States, there are two notable film schools that anyone who’s interested can choose and these are: Australian Film, Television, and Radio School and the United Kingdom’s National Film and Television School. Not too belittle the capacity of other international schools to teach ably the art of filmmaking but rest assured that there are those that can come at par with these schools mentioned. What one has to do is to have a deep research on what he aspires in the film industry, what culture he wants to be part of, and where he can be most comfortable with.
