Film production classes are more like being in a trade school. Students learn and apply work skills, as well as film theory. Most importantly, you will be shooting at least one short film, and to make that film you need equipment, tools, and supplies.
Most film programs provide the cameras, sound equipment, and editing facilities you need, but, to take full advantage of them, some
