I’m getting ready to start school in the spring, but I’m going to be attending a local Community College. Right now, I’m thinking about majoring in Visual Communications - Video Production. I’m really only worried about one thing, how hard is it to transfer as a film major? I didn’t do too well in high school, I had around a 2.5gpa. I also didn’t take the SATS, but I love film and want to turn things around. After I’m done at my local school and I’m ready to transfer, do you think it’s possible for me to get into a good film school? If I try hard and do well? I thought this will give me a chance to get together a portfolio and fix my grades/gpa. If this isn’t possible, I think I may just go the business route, probably accounting.

Anyone here a film major? Just wondering what this major is like and how the work is? Also how you like it and your plans for the future? How are the internships? Just wondering if their are any good careers in filming/movies? Other then the obvious, actor, producers, etc.? Are degrees like this basically worthless? or can they provide good jobs in the industry? Where are you going to school?

Cliffs/ TL;DR
-Didn’t do well in high school (2.5gpa)
-Interested in Film as a major
-Going to local CC for Film Productions
-Will it be possible to transfer to a good/well known film school if I do well at local cc?
