Blog 9: Changes to my study program

Hi to everyone, today i'm going to talk you about things that i would like to change in this insitute.

First, i think that the time that i spend studying the periodism courses are so invasive to develop our careers (as a filmmakers). You can see a lot of problems of communications with the academic direction of our career (called '3rd floor' maybe for all the students of the institute) For example, you can't go to a shooting because you need to attend all the classes with periodism. And this contradiction also happens with our film courses. I think it's kind stupid, they won't give us permission to develop our skills in the real world, or at least in the inner practices that are availables every year. So I would change this stupid system that doesn't gives enough attention to the film career problems. Other problems happens with a lot of courses in film. We have maybe the same courses every year, with a little bit more of difficulties, that's fine. But at the end if you analyze all the course, you can see that is always the same contents. Also, and very important, there's some courses that are very out-of-time according with the others. So, for example, in 4th year you are recently having production classes. So, in the first years you have to learn by making mistakes until you get to the 4th year, maybe that methodology is helpful, i don't know. But I know that is better having those importants courses before every big mistake. 

Regarding to the buildings and infrastructure. The shades of the threes of our 'pastos' are gone and you can only see so much concrete and cement. Before the constructions we were free to sit down of the threes and relax between our classes, or in the breaks. One point less to the study program and all his importance to the students. In technology issues, i think we are fine in the institute. Film is maybe out-of-time again but i think you can make something with those resources.

Maybe the workload is very length because of the periodism courses. And the repetitive courses and contents, we have more theory than practice in our career. And the students are paying a lot of money for this.

I would write more about it but i think is a waste of time.

Have a sunny week!
