What college courses should I take if I want to study Film Production at university?
UK college courses. I'm thinking about doing something to do with film making as a career and I'm not sure what I would need to study for it.|||you will need a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film, and to get that you will Bachelor's degree programs in film include classes in film history, film development, screenwriting, acting and production. Many film studies programs offer directing concentrations, which help students develop skills such as casting, rehearsal procedures, text analysis, acting technique for film and camera application. Students also learn how to create and use storyboards, shooting scripts and brackets. Students are typically required to participate in a predetermined number of student films as part of their coursework. Most film schools strongly encourage internships within the film industry in order to develop technical skills, understand the ins-and-outs of film production and develop professional contacts.
or you can go further and get a Master of Fine Arts in Film, and you will need to have Master of Fine Arts in Film degree programs help filmmakers develop their own voices as directors. MFA in film programs emphasize theme development, advanced cinematography, film theory and history and film editing. Directing programs often focus on management skills because directors are responsible for overseeing large amounts of people across many different areas of film production. Most master's degree programs require the development of a thesis, typically in the form of a short film, as well as the development of a professional portfolio.
but mostly you need ambition, motivation, imagination and creative arts might help. good luck and you just really need to see the vision to succeed.

What is the best way to get a grounding of the film industry?
My sister in 20 and wants to get into the film industry with the intention of moving into the fx side of it, animation, 3D modeling, rendering etc. She has a university foundation course in mind,but i was apprehensive that there is other ways of entering into the industry. I, myself, being in the games industry as an animator know of several ways to gain a grounding knowledge of the industry without 2 year long courses? Do you have any ideas, or am I just being silly.|||(I am in the US)
Your sister could get into the business simply by meeting the right people who are willing to give her a go. If she is outgoing and knows how to network, knows how to meet people that is always helpful. Not sure if it would be a paying job, but it could be some sort of position where she could be learning about the whole process. She might also be able to get unpaid work on student or amateur productions, via something like Craig's List.
Now, the advantages of taking classes, is that she will be learning some of the basic skills. Plus, the schools have some connections with internships. Some companies only take on interns if they are in school--that way they can get away without paying, by simply saying it is an internship. That there is an exchange of value, class credit for her work.
(Has she looked into if FX houses are hiring now? With the economy, she should think about that too. It might be worth it to take 1-2 years to go to school, then when she is done, there might be more jobs out there. If they are hiring now, they might expect a lot from a new employee, that they have a lot of other skills too.)
Also, lately, it seems like many companies who hire interns really do expect them to have a set of basic skills already--know how to use software, know how to edit, photoshop, have sculpting, painting, framing experience, Which is all the opposite of what an internship is! The idea is that the intern actually learns something! In some states (I am in the US) that is actually against the law, but not really enforced.
Anyway, she needs to look up all the possible FX houses nearby, and start calling, or emailing resumes. If she doesn't have any software experience, then she might also just try to ask these companies for advice on what software she needs to learn. Of course, it changes quickly, and some FX houses create their own proprietary software. I am assuming that your sister already has basic drawing-photography-sculpting experience? If she doesn't then she should think about that too.
In the US with the bad economy, there could be lots of competition for positions, even internships. People might have the same basic art and software background, but they have other skills too, like production or finance even. Companies might see that as a plus, knowing that person could help out in the billing department a few times a month. Seriously.

How do you put film into a kodak instamatic camera 104?
My friend heidi and I have just recently purchased said camera from the local goodwill and were wondering the dynamics of putting the film into the camera.|||Just open up the back and drop the cartridge in. Advance until the frame counter goes to (1).

What is a good certificate 15 horror film to watch at a halloween movie night?
I'm having a halloween movie night on Saturday with some friends and we want a certificate 15 film to watch which will fit the feel of halloween, so it must be scary. It must be a 15; not a 12- that's not scary enough, and not an 18- that's too scary and we're not old enough anyway. We prefer scary ones like spooky/give you a shock rather than violent/gory. Made within the last 10 years, we don't want an old film.
Thanks so much :)|||The Orphange, not at all gory, but very, very creepy.|||The Exorcism of Emily Rose. (15)
I'm 31 and it scarred me shitless.|||Quarantine
I still havent seen the ending.|||Trick 'R Treat|||death watch - no too gory or scary but a good eerie feel to it

What is the smallest job on a film set and how can I get it? What qualifications do I need etc?
I hope to work my way up the Film business. What job could I get with a uni degree in Film?|||Did you have any kind of specialty? Set construction, lighting, etc. The lowest level would probably be a laborer on the set construction crew. A little higher up would be the grips/best boys. On the production side there are the production assistants.|||A university degree in "film" will NOT get you a job in the professional industry.
Most film schools will teach you a lot of theory and some practical production. But most will not teach you the first thing about how the professional industry truly works and how you can put your education to use.
There is no single way to get in. Even if you have a friend or relative who can get you your first job, the best way for anyone to find success is to learn how the business actually operates. Once you know who everyone on set and off actually is and what they actually do all day long, then you can use that information to figure out what path is best for you.
For some people, volunteering to work on indie movies to gain experience is what they can do and need. For others, finding some kind of entry-level job in a movie-industry related company is best. If you want an "on set" job, you'll likely have to spend weeks to months working for free or very little money until you have met enough people who will like you and call you for a paying job. If you want some kind of "off set" job in post-production or an executive style area, then you likely won't volunteer for anything, but you will be starting at the bottom and not making much money.
Any road into the business takes patience, passion, and perseverance. While you're still in filmschool, make the time to learn everything you can about the actual professional industry so that you can better tailor your own education to guide you toward your ultimate goals.
An important part of your question above is that you want to work your way up. Up to what? What specific job is it that you want to have and spend your life working towards and doing? Just being a "filmmaker" isn't enough of any answer. Do you want to write? Direct? Produce? Be the Cameraman? An Editor? An Actor? An AD? A Focus Puller? A Special Effects Technician? A Visual Effects Supervisor? A Sound Mixer? A Prop Master? YOU must decide precisely what it is you want to do...THEN you can find out what it takes to get there and only then can you search for that entry-level job that will get you there. Starting on the wrong path could mean that you waste valuable time and never get to where you'd like to be.
For EVERYTHING you need to know about the professional film industry, each job on set and how to get there, check out What I Really Want to Do: On Set in Hollywood at the website listed below.
Good luck!
