thank you so much for your reccomendations! I'm a new film student who doesn't know where to start and would like to broaden my knowledge aside from what I'll learn in school, so seeing all these wonderful books with your insight definitely made me feel more at ease! I have all in my amazon wishlist and some in my cart as I typed this! Again, thank you!!
Oh, trust me I feel the same way. Particularly over the last year. I think the big secret is that it doesn't matter where you start, only that you do. Get some momentum going and you can correct your course on the way!
I am now 20 years old... I want to be a Successful Films director.. i am from India 🇮🇳... Please tell me which book 📚 i read in... Which book is written easy... I am not good in English... Which book is good for Basic Film direction
wait im getting a little scared. Im going to film school next year and hearing you talk made it sound like there are a lot of essays. is that right? I just wanna make movies
Depends entirely on the film school! I studied Film Production at University of Westminster. My course had like... a 70% 30% split, so we were making a lot of films, but we were also studying a lot of film history and writing essays. I know that some other film schools are entirely practical based, with the only essay writing being bits of "Here were my intentions and influences".
Confusing video. Next time, please hold up the books and keep their images stable and on-screen for at least 20 seconds. That we we can actually see the books you so generously recommend. Thanks kindly.
Eh. It's a mixed bag! The university I was in was super competitive for major roles on the film productions, so I ended up a lot more focused on the theory side. It gave me some really useful context about film history and genre, etc. which is still serving me fairly well! But this video isn't really so much about whether or not film courses are worth it, and more about what books are useful once you're studying it anyway!
