<p>I'm a graduating highschool senior and I know that I want to work in the television and film industry. No need to tell me about the impracticality of such a career. I'm not trying to be Steven Spielberg. I just want to make a living in production and independent film. And even then, I understand the gamble.</p>
<p>That being said, I've been doing research and some people seem to think that it's harder to get into a grad film school if you already have an undergrad in film because the grad school committees want well-rounded people. Is this true? It does seem redundant to get both a BA and MA in film, but do people do it?</p>
<p>So part two of my question is this: What would be a good undergrad major for someone planning on getting a master's in film? Perhaps something more broad like Communications? I can't really think of another major that I'd be interested in. A portfolio is really important for getting into grad school so I want to be able to have a good reel under my belt and I really want to do some production internships. And I can't stand the thought of waiting four more years to pursue my passion. So maybe just a minor in film?</p>
<p>Any thoughts are appreciated!</p>
