film-school Film School Questions.

[Semiazas]

I've got some questions about film school or filmmaking degrees and things like that (because I live in the UK I'm not sure on how they really work)
I'm just wondering what you do in film school or if it's worth going to or even looking into.

I've actually found a course here that looks like it might be quite good

As that essentially how a filmmaking course works?

FWIW, a spoke to a Director of Photography (and BSC member) whose son is halfway through a film course in Bournemouth - from what I gathered there's lots of practical, hands-on stuff and he has really enjoyed it. I've no idea how it rates compared to other film schools, but that might give you something to go on…

Yeah, probably. Did he say what elements of filmmaking it encompasses? Or is it all of them?

He didn't, but their website seems fairly detailed and you've got an email address… I'm sure they'd be more than happy for you to ask about stuff they haven't mentioned online.
