Film is a comprehensive art combining performance art, visual art and auditory art. Cinematology is a science that studies film as a social cultural phenomenon, an artistic phenomenon and a mass media. After more than one hundred years of development and innovation, film, as a popular art and entertainment, has already entered everyone's life. The production of a film cannot be separated from the division of labor and cooperation of the entire crew members, so the film profession also involves many different fields, such as screenwriting, production, director, photography, editing, scene design, special effects production, etc. Generally speaking, film production majors in universities are more inclined to the direction of director, but many schools also have relevant subdivisions in other fields of film art.
The rapid development of China's film industry will require a large number of talents, especially creative talents such as directors, screenwriters and management talents, such as producers. At the same time, the employment scope of the film industry is very wide, and other subdivided occupations such as photography, editing, sound effects, scene design, special effects production, etc. have a large number of employment opportunities. In reality, the competition in the film industry is fierce, so in addition to film and television production organizations, other media or creative video companies are also a good choice for students of this major. Nowadays, the film and television culture industry and multimedia technology are very developed. In fact, any post involving video creativity and production may provide employment opportunities for film majors.
The setting of American film and television majors can be roughly divided into two directions according to different colleges: one is film and television majors in art colleges, and the other is film schools in comprehensive universities. Art colleges and universities lay particular stress on the cultivation of professionals, have close contact with the industry, and have a good artistic atmosphere; Comprehensive colleges and universities pay attention to the cultivation of generalists, can choose courses across disciplines, and have a better academic atmosphere. Art schools such as the American Film Academy and the New York Film Academy, which end with Institute and College, provide very detailed majors, such as directing, photography, editing, production, production design, screenwriting, film and television performance, etc. Most of the film and television majors in comprehensive colleges named after the University, such as New York University and Columbia University, only distinguish between production and screenwriting.
The film profession itself is also making continuous progress and development. After a period of explosive magnificence, the film profession has once again immersed itself in the process of people's own emotions and self reflection and cognition. Therefore, what stories and ways to show feelings in movies have become an important part of film learning. The complicated process and hard work of film production is also one of the reasons why many students are reluctant to go. Therefore, for students studying film, the perspective of viewing things and more practical experience are the best way to speed up understanding the film.
