USC School of Cinematic Arts 

Virginia Li 思嘉 I want to get into USC one day too. I am working on getting my feet wet atm making films as an undergrad for my portfolio and plan to apply for film schools next year. Do you think Film school is worth it? I have received a lot of negative perspectives.

@@acdragonrider I say if you want to go make more connections then yeah go for it. but really if you're already making films i'd say just stick to that. Submit them get your name noticed because i'm currently a film student and really film school is just to make connections. Many people in the industries don't have a degree and thats because you don't really need one. You learn working on actual sets. I just hate school in general because i thinks its pointless and just a scam. But if you want to spend a shitload of money to learn about stupid pointless irrelevant shit like general education then go for it.

​@@ethanjoe7 Yeah I think that's what makes me different. Because I have always believed in education and in what I believe are orthodox ways of doing things. I like learning, getting good grades. That's always been inbred in my DNA. I finished undergrad majoring in history and did everything by the book. Even when taking film classes as an undergrad, I really didn't like how casual and do-it-yourself it was. I prefer people teaching me to do something or teaching me to think, which was how the professors in history class did things. I want a textbook thrown at me on film theory or lectures and series of classes on how to edit films, etc. Not throwing me into the deep water to learn how to use a C100, for example. While I have done it before, it's not my thing.

I'm in 2 years, but same. I hope u make it, man.

4 years lmao

Took me a couple tries of applying but I got it!

See you there, just dont give up. You can do it

Hey do you think this school is good if u want to become an actor in movies because it seems to me this school is good if u want to become movie director not actor what do you think

Epic Stories it’s good for actors too. Look up USC notable alumni. Hella successful actors went to USC

Epic Stories It’s good for actors and USC also has a super good acting school for the screen and television if u would rather do that

Maybe they mean first to practice and teach about *how* to make a film, rather than studying film.

Yes, I'm pretty sure you can in the theater depo. Maybe some reaserch will answer your question forsure.

Ok Buddy UCLA is manly theory based rather than production. In UCLA you make your first actual film in your sophomore year. USC is production based and UCLA is theory based. It depends on what you want.

@@ethereal9658 well, I wanna make movies but I don't have the money to go to USC. Unless there's some kind of fully paid scholarship, which I doubt.

Chapman is super good too but also expensive

Maybe to learn how to make movies, but if you’ve got the money to spare USC hands down has the best connections.

You need connections tho

what? why??
