There are many aspects that make up a successful film. The most obvious are the high-profile ones: the actors, director, screenwriters, producers, maybe even those who are in charge of musical scoring and cinematography. Thousands of dollars are spent in studying these different fields in making a film, that film school graduates become too proud of it, they forget the little details that make a film work.
These details may not be as big as coming up with the story, and of course, that is a hugely important part of the film-making process, but without these little bits, do you think the film will be just as successful? I don’t think so.
What about the production assistants? Those who do the beck and call of the directors and producers, things that these bigwigs think they’re too important to do. But this work, for me at least, makes me just as connected to the film. Just as if I was the lead star too. I wanna be able to be in a learning environment that encourages you to follow your dreams of becoming a part of the film-making industry, even if it’s not as well-known a position as the others.
For others, being part of the process is enough. Sure, you gotta be creative, but without the not-always-seen people working behind the scenes, trying their best to be able to transform the creative thoughts into something the audience can relate to, what’s the use of all that “nurturing of creativity” in film schools.
