The art of filmmaking requires talent as well as skills, be that technical or otherwise. If you want to be part of this industry, you would have to undergo film training. There are quite a lot of outfits that provide training on filmmaking for those who are interested in it and those who want to be future filmmakers.

There are several things you must consider in choosing a film training course from the institution that will be providing you this. The following are the most important.

Whether you are in the US, the UK or anywhere else, if you are planning to study filmmaking you have to be aware about your interest. Some of these training courses provide training on directing while others focus more on scriptwriting. In this sense, you should be familiar about the various aspects of filmmaking to help you decide about the right course you are to enroll in.

You must be able to decide whether you want a personal or one-on-one training or a filmmaking course that deals with a group of trainees. There are pros and cons for these choices of course. If you have a one-on-one training you will get a more specialized film education but you will learn from the insights and experiences of your fellow trainees when you join a group course.

Would you like to have a classroom film training or would you prefer a film course online where you can learn at your own pace and schedule as well? Check on the disadvantages and advantages and figure out if it suits your lifestyle.

Then the most pertinent aspect is selecting the film institution where you are to entrust your filmmaking education to. Check on the track record and reputation of the school. With track record, that includes the number of graduates who got into the real world of film and perhaps if the school was able to produce those that have become big wigs in the industry now. Of course, you need to check if the course you are intending to study is available as well.

A formal film education renders more formality and discipline to your film artistry. With some training from the school of hard knocks, you are on the road to having a lucrative career in the film industry.

Question by samfisherjr: How do filmmakers make a fake cocaine powder in use in movies like Scarface?
Such in the 1983 film Scarface where the main character plunges his face into a pile of cocaine. Now, the actor couldn’t actually be shoving his face into actual cocaine, and I’m told that sugar and flour have very different textures and appearances, and so would be unsuitable for appearance sake. What would have been used in this case?

Best answer:

Answer by John Clay
Hell no. Those Hollyweird types do more drugs than Scarface did.

In the first part of his interview on Democracy Now!, Moore talks about the growing “Occupy Wall Street” protests in Lower Manhattan, which he visited on Monday night. “This is literally an uprising of people who have had it,” Moore says. “It has already started to spread across the country in other cities. It will continue to spread. … It will be tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of people … Their work ahead is not as difficult as other movements in the past … The majority of Americans are really upset at Wall Street … So you have already got an army of Americans who are just waiting for somebody to do something, and something has started.” Watch the second part of the interview, in which Michael Moore discusses the formative stories from his childhood that led him into filmmaking and activism: youtu.be For the complete transcript, podcast, and for Democracy Now!’s vast archive of reports on the US financial crisis, Occupy Wall Street protests and additional interviews with Michael Moore, please visit www.democracynow.org FOLLOW DEMOCRACY NOW!
