Do I need Film School Online?
This is an exciting time in the media arts.
Home theaters, Internet
streaming, smart phones, and cable/satellite TV are creating a huge demand for product. To meet this growth,
films are taking many forms, ranging from traditional narratives and
documentaries, to music videos and infomercials, to interactive computer
games with multiple story paths.
New technology is changing the way
films
are being made, too. For many years, film was the only viable medium
for cinematic storytelling, but today digital technologies are
powerful alternatives. In fact, the unparalleled speed, cost-effectiveness, and
creative opportunities this new media brings has made film virtually obsolete.
 Digital technology
has not only changed the way films are being made, it has democratized the
industry. It is now possible to buy a broadcast quality HD camera and
editing system for less than $3,000. Such accessibility was impossible
just a short time ago.
This bustle has attracted a great deal of
interest to the field. Years ago you could break into filmmaking through sheer
talent and determination, but that's not the case today. Since the field is
so complex--involving both traditional filmmaking techniques and the newer digital technologies--a solid base of knowledge is needed before you can become
productive.
