Center for Film Studies


Today representatives from the Center for Film Studies came to speak to our Advanced TV Production classes. The founder, Mort Meisner explained to students the value of attending a 4 year University over a technical trade school. He explained that the Center for Film Studies offers short workshops (most are only six weeks long) that are designed for people who know specifically what they want to do on a film set. Workshops include: Set Construction, Technical & Grip Work, Costume and Stage Makeup, and Production Assistance. For more information on the Center for Film Studies, visit their website, or contact the school at 248-545-2222.

A few things to keep in mind from today's presentation: any person who wishes to be successful in their field should be skilled in building relationships with the right people, and networking. They should be able to seek out opportunities to build their resume and put themselves in the right position to succeed in whatever field they choose. Remember to follow up on job leads, once you submit a resume, be persistent and follow up with people to show your determination and abilities.

I wonder how long you have to be in training until you are able to go on n film movies n become a crew member. I also wonder how long do it take them to make a movie set. being in the music industry sounds very hard, but on the other hand I really like the video because it gave me some background information about the music industry.
