What are you doing? Screenwriting, directing, camera work? What did you end up doing in school as far as assignments? Any other info would be nice

Dual major in communications and film

I was undeclared this past year(freshmen year) so i haven't actually taken any classes focused in the major yet. If I find it too hard to get a decent job after I graduate i'm thinking i'll probably go back to school for business.

Well i was a business major, the my school told me my "intelligence" aka gpa wasn't up to the standards for the business school, so now im comm. Plan on taking video production 1-3 and some photos and web design classes too. Maybe a film school in the future? who knows.

I just graduated with a film degree with an emphasis in visual effects. When I was a freshman I thought I wanted to focus on directing, then cinematography, and finally decided I liked post production best. I'd recommend taking as many classes (and interning) in as many different areas of film production as possible, because even though I only work in post production now, it really helps to also have knowledge of pre-pro and production.
