Can you imagine? About fifteen years ago, most people were watching movies using VHS tapes, and didn't really think twice about it. And then, people we're using VCDs. Although I have to say, it didn't take long for DVDs to be the norm for watching movies at home. And now, Blu-Ray! I think I barely got over DVDs.
My point it, the technology used in this industry is always changing. What the average people know about are the DVDs and VCDs, but what about the equipment used behind the scenes? The camera? The lighting? The programs used for editing? A lot of these things are always changing, always being updated. And to be successful in this field, we need to keep up!
And to be honest, I don't think you can do much of keeping up when you're stuck in a classroom and not seeing how it is being done out there. What we need to see firsthand just how films are made and the technologies that are used to help someone take their image and share it with the rest of the world. Whatever it is you're learning in a classroom or from books, chances are, about half of it won't be applicable once you're out there in the world.
