The Many Things Student Filmmakers Should Consider

By Chloe Gib


Student filmmakers have a lot more to think about then studying filmmaking because there are a ton of different considerations. They have to find the right school, figure out their program, and learn about what is expected from them. Once they know this they are forced to think about how they are going to pay for their education, their housing, and all of the supplies.

Anyone who wants to working in filming has a lot of things that they are looking for and have to think about. It is not a program that is known for being easy and sometimes if the student wants to earn a degree, they must do a variety of additional classes. However there are times when they get to partake in activities that they want.

Students in a more traditional program at school will be facing the same decisions and issues as these students. The student must realize that they are going to be required to do a lot of stuff that might not have anything to do with the program itself to earn their degree. If you are attempting this program to escape from traditional education then you will not be getting anywhere.

Unfortunately you cannot get everything that you want just by making student films and filming things. Instead there are also going to be the traditional assignments, tests, and information that you have to study to learn. In order to sign up for classes some of these things will have to be considered.

If you are trying to make a movie there are so many other things that you will have to understand and know how to do. Of course you will be able to get that freedom that you feel when creating something. You can do stuff that is anything that you desire and not all of it will be prewritten for you.

Student short films might be the favored project but is far from the only one. So when you have different assignments you have to do things that you might not otherwise do while filming. There is a necessity to learn about technique and shooting all types of films when you are attempting to be a future filmmaker.

Anyone who is going to be one of the student filmmakers must realize that they will have a lot to deal with. They still have all of the tasks that normal students do but they have these additional ones in creativity. Then they will be ready for the real world and the task of finding their dream job.
