Let's talk about Film School
Hey, Daniel. What are you studying?
Um… Sorry, but I'm just a filmmaker…
What?!
If you are like me, movies suddenly appeared in your life when you were just a kid and they hooked you
right in. Like a cowboy with his tie.
You just did it because you had fun. And from there came all those projects…
Until ... the time came.
That day that you weren't young anymore to study in high school but neither
ready to work.
Your friends start talking about Colleges, credits and...
The EXAMS!
Ehm Yes?
When are you going to tell me where can I go to Film School man! Boring!
Come on! Don't be impatient! The first question you have to ask yourself is:
How far do you want to get?
Do you dream of being the next Spielberg, setting the next big trend.
Or you want to be more "realistic" and aspire To be the next camera of Jersey Shore?
[Jersey Shore]
The next question you should ask yourself is:
What have other people done to get where there?
In my case, I'm fascinated by filmmakers Such as Steven Spielberg, Christopher Nolan,
Nacho Vigalondo (Spanish Filmmaker) and Youtubers like Casey Neistat.
And after analyzing their lives a lot I end up realising that...
Many of them did not necessarily have to go to film school!
But these people ... How the hell they went without a title?
And where did they get the study hours? And the experience?
(Voice of panic) and the connections with the production companies??
The biggest problem is that Nowadays societ has trained us very well to connect
The word university with the word job.
But for us artists is not Always the best way.
And to understand how an artist comes to form, We have to go back in time, really back.
Around the year 1475, when one of the most famous artists of the Renaissance, Michelangelo
Appeared in the world.
Many say that he was already born as a genius; And maybe they're right. But what I am
More interested in, is that Michelangelo since he was really young, constantly practiced his
Skill with the brush.
This helped him find his first mentor, Ghirlandaio.
Through years and years of practice, dedication And learning among the best thinkers
Of the Renaissance ... Is it so weird for you that Michelangelo would become one of the
Best artists?
What I mean by this is that for A person who produces art. It's a lot
More important hours of practice under a True master. Than theory, exams
And the opinion of your teachers ...
But, let's get back to the present ...
Today we have the awesome power Of the Internet! Where we can make video calls,
Online courses and we have ... Youtube!
So you're telling me that you need Go to a institution to access the information.
When you have more than you need in Your right pocket?.
And not to mention the fact that each one Of us have different strengths
And personalities; We learn differently And at a different speed. So, maybe
a system of study where we all learn the same lessons, might not be the best option.
In my case, although I love video and Storytelling, programming is my forbidden love.
It means that instead of combining my two passions in a unique way, I have to forget
Of one of them in order to enter in one of societies' hoops?
If I've convinced you and you're now ready to throw your studies overboard ... WAIT, University
Or any Higher Degree can in fact be a good option.
Uh?
Well, if it is true that there is a good Amount of directors that they did not go to college.
And that the access to information we have now, it's ridiculous.
But ... what about the exposition of the information?
As information is easier to access, It is also easier to produce.
On a specific topic of your choice, it will probably take you Years to check all the information
To see what works and what does not.
How many books do you have to read until Find the one that works?
How many videos like this you'll have to see Until ... Wait, do not ...
Shit!
Finally I just want to tell you that no going to film school doesn't mean
that will necessarily be the easiest way.
The other way round! Getting up in the morning, Talking to people of your industry, developing
Your skills ... We're talking about that Everything depends on you and of the passion you have.
If you think you will not be able to handle it, Then the Film School is a good choice.
In conclusion:The Film School, can Be a good help and can serve you as a guide
To become the best filmmaker You can be, but it is not requisite
It's only one of the options, among many others.
So…
The choice is yours
DANIEL
