There are many reasons to study film studies. First of all, it is an interesting and vibrant field. Film theory has a long history, with Aristotle's Poetics and Confessions of a Movie Lover by Luis Bunuel debating the process and purpose of movies. With so much material constantly in flux, the study of film brings you into the world of dynamic images and challenging processes that always make people think differently. 

Anyone interested in film needs to study Film Studies. Whether you are a filmmaker or just someone interested in how films convey stories and portray characters, the philosophy of film is important to understand the theoretical aspects of filmmaking. It is also necessary for career opportunities in all facets related to film.

Film Studies offers students the opportunity to explore the language of cinema through practice and theory, and anyone interested in filmmaking should definitely take this course. 

Storytelling is one of the oldest forms of expression in human history and has evolved into many different mediums.

What careers can studying Film Studies lead to?

Film is ubiquitous - commercials, television shows, news programs are examples of films you see every day and filmmakers who produce them. Many film studies students go on to work in the entertainment industry. Depending on your major, program or area of interest, you may pursue a career as a screenwriter, director, producer, cinematographer or editor.

Studying film can also lead to jobs in the education industry. Not only that, but you can also work as an art dealer for museums. Many art historians study film and use the medium as a means to express themselves. They use their knowledge of the theory and techniques of filmmaking. This allows them to teach not only about film itself, but also about its esthetic value and expressiveness.

Of course, Film Studies can help you in a career as an actor because it gives you a solid foundation in the art and history of cinema as well as an understanding of screenwriting, literature, composition, and narration. This is important for those who are interested in the craft aspects of filmmaking and want to be an actor who is comfortable with both the script and improvisational aspects of film.
