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 12:46:19 AM |

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 3/1/2006 9:05:05 AM |

^^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 |

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.3/2/2006 7:36:05 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 |

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 |

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.
