<p>The big giant intro film classes are allegedly amazing, but even with 135 seats open per semester, usually fill up (but if you really want to get in, you probably won’t be closed out.) However, be warned that these classes are also designed to weed out potential film majors who probably won’t be able to excel - and so these classes are extremely difficult. This is fine for students for whom film is their #1 priority, but often people try to take an intro film class thinking it will just be their “fun” class and go insane from the heavy workload.</p>
<p>As for the non-intro classes, I believe I’ve heard they are actually less difficult (as they are not required for admittance to the major), in a kind of weird twisted way. If there’s one you really want to take, talk to the professor, and the chances are very high you’ll be able to get in.</p>
