<p>Can anyone tell me about the film major? I'm a transfer student who has been accepted as "Proposed film." I want to focus on production. Here are the things I ALREADY KNOW:</p>
<p>1) I have to apply to Production after taking several pre-reqs. It's strongly urged that I take one this summer. If i do not, it will delay my graduation.
2) I may not get accepted to Production, as it is a highly competitive program. If I do not get accepted to production, I can choose another emphasis or get a general "Film" education with theory mixed into it.
3) It is a hands on program, unlike many other undergrad programs.</p>
<p>I already know all of those things (from the SlugFilm website) so if possible please don't just re-iterate those statements. Here are the things I really want to know:</p>
<p>1) What kind of equipment do they have? Their website just lists a still camera and a webcam as their cameras. This can't be all.</p>
<p>2) How are the teachers? (I know this will be opinion, and I'm okay with that). Are they working in the industry currently? How is faculty morale in general?</p>
<p>3) Does the student body seem happy/successful/confident, or is it a group of angry UCLA rejects that hate their school and their life because they didn't get into UCLA?</p>
<p>4) Should I pick this school over CSUN or CSULB because it's a UC, even though both of those CSUs have better known film programs?</p>
<p>5) Do you recommend this program overall? (Opinions are great, especially if you or a friend have been to this school for this major).</p>
<p>Thanks so much!!!</p>
