Hello, and welcome to MovieFhone. If you know the name of the movie you'd like to see, press one.

2/28/2006 8:31:33 PM

it's tuff love being a film major

2/28/2006 8:35:21 PM

Why you get a minor in it or a double major as a fallback

Keep searching ... good jobs aren't always listed.

2/28/2006 8:52:50 PM

I'm a film studies minor.
Not because I think it might help with a job.

I just like movies.

2/28/2006 11:02:58 PM

well duh, you won't find film major careers on ePack

coffee shops usually just put a Help Wanted sign in the window

2/28/2006 11:20:08 PM

i might be a n00b

but why would you come to state for film studies
just based on the school images, i would assume unc or uncw would have a better reputation/program

2/28/2006 11:40:47 PM

it depends

i came for media communications but added film studies in my second semester. the only reason i came to state was because i had a guaranteed 12th floor room in sullivan.

3/1/2006 12:57:47 AM

we have a film studies major?
and people come to state for it?

3/1/2006 12:58:38 AM

This would make me appreciate engineering a lot more if I didn't think that once you actually find a job, it would be pretty enjoyable.

3/1/2006 1:01:56 AM

i haven't heard of anyone coming to state specifically for the film program. it's great for media communcations majors to double major or minor in, however, as previously said

I was originally in Graphic Design. I didn't like it so I transferred to whatever seemed like the most interesting major to take. Film Studies it was.

well there aren't many film studies majors in the country so I would assume any program with enough resources for the major would be pretty solid

I've taken a couple of film classes and been pretty impressed by the quality

3/1/2006 1:27:31 AM

a lot of the theory classes are kinda weak and you just throw out half-assed opinions so you get participation points

i wish the program had more production-oriented courses

3/1/2006 1:43:50 AM

I only minored in film, didn't major in it, but I really enjoyed classes by Dr. Devin Orgeron. When he and his wife started at NCSU (maybe 2002?) they breathed a little bit of life into the program. Unfortunately I don't see a university like NCSU ever having a solid film program... its just not set up for it. (Unlike NYU, University of Miami, UCLA, USC)...

Here's a cool one from ePack if you are interested in documentaries and working with youth. Deadline is March 10.

2006 Summer Internship Opportunity
Youth Document Durham Project
Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University

2 Positions Available
Project Description:
Participants in Youth Document Durham–ethnically and economically diverse young people (ages 12–16)—learn documentary arts as a way to garner knowledge and express ideas about their communities, their lives, and the issues that matter to them. Youth Document Durham is a youth-driven program; a youth advisory board develops program topics and youth participants are active leaders and decision-makers throughout the program.

Twenty-six young people will participate in the 2006 Youth Document Durham program, scheduled for June 12- July 11. They will work together in small groups to maximize learning and to develop a supportive and tolerant environment in which to confront their differences and build upon their strengths and commonalities. Groups of thirteen young people will be led by a team that includes an experienced documentarian/artist and an intern (college student or recent college graduate).

All students in Youth Document Durham learn black-and-white photography, interviewing, audio recording and editing, and documentary writing. They go on field trips to practice their skills and learn from people in the community. Toward the end of the program, they produce projects that express ideas about what they learned. In the past these focused, intensive projects have included CDs, publications, exhibits, postcard series, and public art installations.

Intern Responsibilities:
• Work closely with one group of thirteen young people, facilitating and maintaining positive group dynamics
• Work with program teachers to reinforce and support skills-based learning about documentary techniques
• Work with program staff, building relationships with parents and community leaders
• Help plan and organize field trips in the community
• Help supervise and mentor youth at work and at play
• Support youth outcome projects as assigned—may include publications, exhibits, etc.
• Assist youth with researching community issues, encouraging them to seek traditional and nontraditional resources and perspectives
• Help transport students in CDS or rental van

If you're going to choose a major with virtually no job prospects, you really have no right to bitch when you can't find a job in your field.

3/1/2006 11:14:57 AM

I would recommend looking for internships through other local universities that have larger film programs...

3/1/2006 11:52:29 AM

yeah i mean you gotta know ppl to get in the industry.

it isnt like whoever wrote the script for top gun posted it on monster looking to hire a director

find local shoots, help out, and work your way in.

what do you mean no job prosepects?...there's an assload of media out there

i mean, some might not want to shoot dog food commericals or edit documentaries about soap, but they're still jobs in the field

3/1/2006 1:19:59 PM

I agree with Bobby.

All other fields are covered by the general umbrella of Communications...which happens to be done better by a billion other schools.

3/1/2006 3:45:41 PM

Try searching for "Philosophy".

3/1/2006 4:35:00 PM

I bet what really sucks is that you can spend a bunch of money getting a degree and some schmuck could send three high school kids out into the woods with a camera and make more money than you'd ever make.

3/1/2006 4:36:13 PM

^^I'm a philosophy major, and expect to have a job. Philosophy majors are usually either double majors (where phi isn't nec for their job), or planning on going into law school (since it is a common entry into law school, at ncsu we have a philosophy w/ a concentration in law degree), just go on to regular jobs like office work having recieved a college degree, or go on to teach philosopy which takes an advanced degree.

I may need an advanced degree to get that job, but it will be there when I have it, luckily I enjoy school.

3/1/2006 4:41:17 PM

don't use ePack...try some other internships sites online.

i concur. devin and professor gomez are awesome.

3/1/2006 7:01:00 PM

Save up some money and either A) Take a class with NY Film academy or B)move to SoCal and start working in food service while you scratch up a career.

D. Orgeron is a saint and a hell of a professor.

I ended up buying at least half the films I saw in his class.

3/2/2006 12:55:50 AM

more appreciation for dr. Orgeron -- he really is a hell of a professor, one of the best I've had.

3/2/2006 3:10:07 AM

I've heard good things about the film program from others and from the couple of times I had an opportunity to talk with their professors, they seemed cool.

0, you tried talking to your advisor yet and asking about getting an internship?

3/2/2006 5:43:13 AM

one of the guys i went to high school with did the film studies thing here at NCSU and now edits for a living out in LA

so its not entirely hopeless

3/2/2006 7:30:49 AM

I just want to say that today I had a nearly exclusive internship/fellowship offer today and turned it down b/c i already have one. The department makes a call for some position or internship industry or some major lab is looking for about twice a week, and there are like 25 people in my class.

So sorry, i just have to confirm that your life is gona suck. and it's your fault for picking the hard track

3/2/2006 7:22:41 PM

life's not going to suck just because you don't get opportunities handed to you.

I'd think that "film studies" majors aren't what these people are looking for. Maybe I'm completely wrong. Even so, I'd wager that our program is pretty near the bottom of the barrel.

no really, I'm sorry, *snicker*

3/2/2006 7:44:39 PM

I had Intro to Film first semester freshman year, and it's still quite possibly the most interesting course I've taken.

And yes, it was w/ Orgeron.

3/2/2006 8:18:52 PM

I also took a film class last year as an elective... i had D. Orgeron and he was a pretty cool guy and enthusiastic about the content.
Some of the movies we watched almost put me to sleep and were really boring...
a few of the ones I enjoyed were: Rebel Without a Cause, On the Waterfront, Closely Watched Trains

3/2/2006 10:48:08 PM

Well, I ask you, whats the point in being a Film Major?

If you're not artistic, it can't be taught to you.

3/3/2006 11:32:52 AM

to have a degree in film?



kinda like how the point of an engineering degree is to graduate with an engineering degree.

3/3/2006 11:35:09 AM

I love how engineering majors ALWAYS think they are better then everyone else.

3/3/2006 11:48:47 AM

^ we are better than everyone else

3/3/2006 11:53:19 AM

psh, arts and humanities aren't important.



building widgets, now that's important.

3/3/2006 11:54:59 AM

If you choose a major such as film studies or philosophy, or history, or other arts type major. because you enjoy the material, well that's awesome for you. But you also have to take in account that you probably won't have a lot of job opportunities that pay well.

If you're ok with that, then more power to you.

3/3/2006 12:35:49 PM

Computer science, Engineering, or other quantitative degree.

3/4/2006 4:19:51 PM

While Paul Graham is a giant douche bag, he does have a valid point, and that point is to give yourself options. With a degree in engineering or applied math you can do damn near anything--programming, engineerings, finance job, sales, or even med school if you took bio electives. The point is to get out and be able to have a broad range of things from which to chose. This just isn't the case if you get a humanities degree and only a humanities degree, because unfortunatly that degree won't stand you on your own two feet if you all the sudden get a hair up your ass to be a programmer or other quantitative job.
