The sad part about going to film school is that it focuses more on the more high-profile aspects of making a film, the screenwriter, the director, or the actors, to name a few. But as we all know, those are not the only components that make up a great film. There are other aspects too. What about the technical aspects? Like the lighting or make-up or wardrobe?
These are more technical than creative, and most of its creativity relies on the director and/or producer. But what if these are parts of the process that I want to be involved in. Not everyone who wants to be making a film want to be the actor or the director or the screenwriter. Sometimes, people are totally content on staying a bit more behind the scenes, and that's perfectly okay. But traditional film schools don't encourage that. We spend hours and hours studying films, trying to pick the greatness in the acting and the directing and the writing, but what about the rest?
The other aspects of film-making, though less known, as just as important. Without these "little" things that go on behind the scenes, how successful would the film be in telling its story? It's not just about the actors or the director or the writer or even the producer, everyone else involved is needed to make a film a success.
