Film School - Two Approaches
Not too long ago, complex equipment
made it essential to attend film school. The digital revolution has changed all
that. Today, high definition cameras and editing systems are affordable and
easy to use. This has made filmmaking home study possible.
In fact, Director Quentin Tarantino's advice
to aspiring filmmakers is: don't go to film school! He discussed this during a
Cinema Master Class at the Cannes Film Festival:
"Trying
to make a feature film yourself with no money
is the best film school you can do."
-Quentin Tarantino
With Film School Online, you can
study at home, practice on your own equipment, and then
make a feature film when you are ready. No need to attend film school if you
prefer not to go that route!
Of course, equipment is NOT required with
Film School Online. The courses are jam packed with enough great information and
illustrations to make it a stand alone learning experience without equipment.
