The film major of UCLA University of California, Los Angeles is known as the cradle of Hollywood film workers. It has top academic standards and unique geographical location. However, this year, the enrollment of UCLA film major was suspended. This time, we stopped to adjust the curriculum system, perhaps because of the impact of the epidemic on the film industry. Colleges and universities saw opportunities and challenges in the future development of the industry, so it is necessary to adjust the teaching plan.

　　 UCLA Film Major Suspends Enrollment

In fact, not only the industry and colleges, but also many students majoring in film have encountered difficulties in the creation of works collection at this stage: on the one hand, it is difficult to achieve "big production" due to limited space, on the other hand, they do not know how to carry out the possibility of trying more creation.

Nowadays, the difference between film, animation and game is becoming smaller and smaller, and their skills and creation methods can be used for reference. In fact, game, as the ninth art, is also a kind of artistic aesthetic activity of virtual reality achieved by combining interactive experience.

For example, "Soul of Ma Dao" is an open world action adventure game. The main story of this game is very full, and players will have a special sense of substitution when they control the action of characters, as if they are integrated into the game world. You can feel Jingjing Ren's reluctance to the samurai spirit, and also can feel the feelings in the story. While playing the game, you can watch a movie. Each frame of the plot of "Soul of Ma Island" has a corresponding storyboard description, which shows the degree of care. In addition to the plot, the strong sense of film blockbuster presented by the game shows their pursuit of artistic film in the whole game.

In addition, whether it is game design or film or animation, scene art is extremely important. From the characterization of characters, the use of lens (sense), scene composition, to the use of color matching, it will have a great impact on the final product. recommend: How to choose a film major to study abroad?

　　UCLA UCLA It is no doubt that stopping the enrollment of film majors this year is a big blow to many students who have film dreams. This change also tells us that the epidemic is just an accelerator for the transformation of the industry. With the development and reform of the film and television industry and colleges, integration and cross-border has become an predictable trend.

Today, we take the two most topical games as examples. Their common point is that they all have the characteristics of film, animation and game in terms of creation content, interaction form and design means. This trend is also worth learning from in the creation of work collections and future career planning.

Meeting the market, leading the trend, and updating the training plan are the educators' sense of responsibility reflected in a top art school. Open thinking, accepting change, and comprehensive improvement are our own requirements. I also hope that through today's sharing, students will not only learn the knowledge of the two masterpieces, but also feel the power of creation from the exploration of the creative team over the years!
