melanie_marie27 Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Back at the community college, where I went straight after high school (and also worked there for a few years) they offered a Humanities course called "The Film as Art". It was a great class! I took it twice. Because each semester, it covered different movie topics. And the whole class was in a big auditorium with a huge screen, very similar to a movie theater. Did you ever take a film class in school? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Not really but they did have films during history/science classes during high school but it was usually the boring stuff with the narrator sounding as bored as I was watching those films. Honestly, I fell asleep midway through most of them. melanie_marie27 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akun Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 HAH! I WISH. Singapore is known for being inferior when it comes to film education because we just don't have a viable film industry here unlike in America, Europe, even Malaysia or Vietnam. We did have a video effects class in college that taught us Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro (god that was boring). We also have your typical Audio & Video classes, but that's the closest you can get to holding a camera. I had to sign up for private film schools and even that didn't get me anywhere close to the film industry. For shame. I've tried my hands on making my own films for years using a handheld cam I bought, but I've pretty much given up by now. melanie_marie27 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Those in the boarding section enjoyed such reception during my high school days. I didn't get to enjoy watching TVs during 'fun and game time'. Since it was mainly for those boarding within the school premise. melanie_marie27 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melanie_marie27 Posted October 4, 2022 Author Share Posted October 4, 2022 I see. Ours was actually a college course that we'd sign up for. Many times, the class was already full! Everybody always wanted the 6-9 p.m. class. Best time for film course. Justin11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing we had were famous artists come to the weekly parties on campus and performing - I mean I did enjoy it but I'd have like something a tad different every now and then.

We have a theater and arts department in my college and you didn't get to attend their classes unless you are student of the department, we didn't have like an extracurricular film class though.

This is quite interesting, do you still make short films like this one or you've taken it to a whole bigger level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortie Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 At the school I went to they had drama but we were never offered any kind of film class, no. Even with drama we never really did anything that would have helped us get into any kind of acting at all which is a shame as I knew many people who would have loved to be actors or actresses in school at the time.
