| Comments: | The filmmaking course if for sure very challenging, however it makes any student who is interested in the topic fall in love with it. The hard work needed for the course is done with pleasure and excitement. Both teachers were very knowledgeable and experienced and truly showed all of the class how to love filmmaking. The trip we took to London gave us a taste of how life would be as a filmmaker and the teachers made sure to let us know that it nothing is ever easy, but if you love it, it will be worth it. Every day we were given something to read or work on. The best part of the course is definitely to film all the final projects. I never worked as hard as I did in Oxford, but I also never spent so much time on something I came to love over the summer. This course helped me identify myself and every second of it are moments I will never forget. |
