The Thing about Film School...





For those of you who do not know, my name is Danielle and I will be entering my third year as a Journalism student this fall.One way or another I found my love for film through TV production, theater and YouTube.I decided to apply to FSU after graduation but sadly, I was rejected.(FYI: FSU has a great film department)Anyways, during my freshman year I tried to apply again but I slacked off because I was too busy being a freshman. I decided to try again my sophomore year and actually got accepted to FSU (because i'm hella smart) but I was was denied into the film department (because apparently I suck).The thing about film school is that they are really hard to be admitted in...FSU takes about 15 students every year and the application process is time consuming.Then there is the whole debate whether or not film school is even necessary.I would like to study what I love to do. It would be wonderful to have some sort of direction within film and that is why I want to go to film school. That is why I've spent too much money on applications, transcripts and stamps.Even though advisers discourage me, tuition costs are redundant and hope seems to be lost, I constantly come back to film school.Not everyone loves a possible career. I know I have talent, I know my ideas are great and I know something will work out, but right now I just have to try. I would beat myself even more if I didn't.So yeah, that's the thing about film school.
