Film Directing & Schools

I was wondering how would i become a director after i graduate. Like what steps should i take

If you are in school right now and can’t answer that, then you are wasting your money.
If you are planning on going to school for that major then ask that department if the seniors are required to take up an internship their last year?
If they say no, then good luck. Because the film industry is all about connections, if you graduate and can’t find work, welcome to the real world.
Most graduates of this major have a hard time finding work if they didn’t graudate from USC, UCLA, or top notch universities. But like all schools, you use the training that you received to built youur portfolio in order to find work.
Being a director involves classes in english composition and scriptwriting, filmmaking, and leadership.
Being a director and finding a job as a director is tough, I mean TOUGH!
First of all you have to have experience as a director and showcase your work to future employees, Short film? documentary?
if you haven’t directed ever in your life, then go grab a camera and do so right now, otherwise when you are in college you’ll be lost in the their language of filmmaking.
most important, good directors are hard to come by,
most suck, few are good.
beter hope you’re good.

I know I have to go to college for it first, but then what?

After college, you just make some movies, hopefully they’re good enough to get you a job, not that complex really.

pl suggest the one ,which are one year programmes.

Hi friends,

I thought of sharing my small story with you.i came from small town Dehradoon ,where I grew watching bolloywood films. I also wanted to study direction but got rejected two times from FTII interview . Then someone wisely advice" that film school is just begin to gain confidence that you can Make film. One has to prove oneself in the industry. "

Not knowing what to do decides to find some private film school and almost visited 30-40 odd film schools (so called) based in delhi.Either they were mass communications or some media management when ever I met the admission counselor ,I always get this feeling that I will not be able to develop the “ sense of proper understanding for cinema”. I somehow came to know about this institute Located in Rohini called CRAFT(www.log2craft.org) which sounded like mathematics School from their website name but later it was more creative way to spell their Acronym!

The moment you enter in this place while climbing the 3rd floor,you get the appropriate feel of cinema and I realize that they are right guys if one can get in here. I was interviewed and chances were that I will not be selected but somehow the interview board felt I am desperate and definitely wants the admission.

Luckily I was 2nd in waiting and two people in the waiting list dropped for some health reason or something. Today I am so confident after our one year of study where we got to see best of international cinema which widened our horizon. At the moment I am working on this international project from Italy, docudrama about Monuments of India as an AD a contact I got through their International network of its director, naresh Sharma, who always say “If you are worth all my links are yours, so just study hard and Develop the cinematic magnet within you”

I am looking into ways of getting into film school. My school offers no film program at the BA level, however, it does have an extensive theatre program which emphasizes both set management and acting. Which may help me when it comes to getting into a graduate program. Should I continue to study theatre, or should I change my major?

Get good grades. That is a very broad answer, but should be taken seriously.

Going to NYU would be your best bet. You need good grades to get in, but I am pretty sure they have the best film school. Try doing as many higher ranked classes as possible (AP IB) and if your school does a new casting class, do that.

Good luck.

With computer programs like after effects, making viral videos is a whole new ball of lightning emanating from your torso.

In the past it used to be a cumbersome problem when you wanted to shoot with video equipment, the equipment was big and bulky and very expensive, there was no digital edited it was all done by analog edited, which when done you would loose the quality after each generation of copying the film. Digital revolution paved the way for film editing, it is highly flexible, the technology allows digital editing to create wondrous special effects, there is no loss of quality or the damaging effect of the original footage.

When the film is shot the footage which is called the initial footage is transferred to broadcast quality tape, it is then edited and give to the customer as a draft copy.

Videos are produced for fun and other videos are produced for commercial purposes, like advertisements, movies and music vids. When we are talking about a music video we are talking about a video clip which has music and give a visual interpretation of the song. Though music videos made specifically for television first appeared in the 1950s, the strong association between music and the video presentation of it started in the 1980s, with the launch of cable channels like MTV. A good producer will be able to choose the right music for your production.

With the advances in technologies in video equipment and the production sets it has given rise to many new film makers and has made it possible for many more people to get into this field and become a directory overnight and help their career move in a positive direction. The process of video production differs from one company to the next, there are certain procedures and stages that video production takes on. The actual place where filming takes place is the production stage, the pre-production stage can have a huge effect with the entire process of the video and film production.

Video production companies are firms that are engaged in the commercial production of video. In the post-production stage, video production companies are engaged in editing and duplication. Trade show videos suit companies that have complicated products where people need to see to see how it works and in what situations.

Before a production company films the must take into account and calculate how long or how many days the filming will require, the reason for this is because they need to calculate the cost to create a budget. Many time people are looking for companies that can do everything from A-Z, but many companies cannot offer this, there are only a handful of companies that have this capability.

It may be possible to schedule some quick media training or suggest other ways to enhance their performance. Schools offer programs that introduce students to the world of digital video or media productions and the commercial technology on how to do this, the school helps the students create their vision for filming, animation, interactive tools or audio. When attending a video or media school they have the ability to provide environments for recording, creating and producing music.
