FILM SCHOOL

Film school is an educational institution dedicated to teaching aspects of moviemaking. The schools have a diverse film school program, which can include film production, theory, and writing for the screen. Most film schools generally incorporate hands on technical training as part of the curriculum. The school can be a film and TV school, but also a film director school. Usually both undergraduate and graduate studies are offered, although some may only have graduate programs. Many schools are privately owned and not tied to universities or colleges.

Various debates have raged over the years on the importance of film school in allowing one to enter the film industry. Of course, examples can be offered from both sides, as directors George Lucas and Francis Ford Coppola graduated from prestigious film schools, whereas Quentin Tarantino had no formal film training. The rapid rise of independent filmmaking and digital video have changed this debate somewhat, as anyone with a few thousand dollars can shoot their own film (and some have done so quite successfully) with little formal knowledge of the industry. Others argue that the importance of film school lies in its ability to allow students to network and connect with those who may eventually offer them careers.
