<p>Is this media arts class actually a film class? And is it just an easy a class in your school or highly regarded? In my film class I had such a hard time finding people I work well with. The people I had were exactly the same as you described. Our editor always did it last minute. Our director didn’t want to take action and no one wanted I work on a project that wasn’t their idea. People sometimes don’t work we’ll together. It’s not something you dwell on its something you move on from. Personally I like working with women better. That’s why I ended up working on the group I’m with now. It’s much better. And yes almost all film schools require you to declare it when you apply. Mostly because you have a portfolio but not all require one.
College is the time to learn about film. The knowledge you should have now is the knowledge of your creative ability. Going to film school, you won’t be taught creativity. It’s not something you teach. What you learn in film school is the industry, production skills, history of film makers shots camera angles and editing and sound and all of that stuff. Obviously there’s much more to it than that but you need to have creativity in order to make it all work.
It’s not an easy decision but if its the right one you’ll know it.</p>
