<p>is there a minor in cinema that would involve taking classes at Tisch?</p>
<p>Minor in Producing</p>
<p>I am a CAS (journalism/middle eastern studies major) who is doing the film production minor in tisch. I also work at Sony Pictures (columbia pictures division) as an intern and I can say from the field experience, many film execs are somewhat affiliated with NYU film and its different programs. I highly recommend the minor; it's broad but the faculty is great and you can tailor it however you'd like.</p>
<p>would you recommend it to become an entertainment lawyer/agent</p>
<p>yeah. you can take business classes in tisch, including those in management. one piece of advice, and i learned it very quickly, is.. the entertainment industry is all about experience. the tisch courses would give you some background info and resources, but your best bet is to just apply for an internship in the field of entertainment law and network from there. i still highly recommend the minor for your field.. i don't know exactly what i want to do in the film industry, but many of my classes are helping me figure that out.</p>
<p>what if i networked in NYC for undergrad, but my true goal was to be in LA/hollywood.....would i have to start all over?</p>
<p>Hey, alexkay, is your journalism/middle eastern studies major as much work as a double major, or is it like a single major with more work? What is your language of specialization? If it's Arabic, is it hard?</p>
<p>NOCCA Junior.. it is a double major. Within the journalism department CAS you have to double major. I don't find it difficult to manage at all, I actual will graduate in three years (AP Credits) and still have a bit of room to take some electives. My language, yes, is Arabic and I am still at the elementary level, however it does not seem bad at all.</p>
<p>sratman1011, no one can answer that question for you.. it depends on who you know/what you do. but i can say that i did PR work for Jane and W magazines based out of NY as well as for Julia Roberts who is based in LA. i had frequent contact with many people in LA, so.. i would still say NYC is your best bet. most the business behind the entertainment industry happens in NY anyway</p>
<p>Alexkay, I have another question (s) about the Middle Eastern studies major. Do you expect to be competent in Arabic by the time you complete it? Do you plan on studying abroad in the Middle East somewhere for a summer or for a semester? How much time a day do you think one should spend on the Arabic language to acquire true competency? Sorry...lots of questions...</p>
