Practical Experience Matters
Film and video is a practical field, so academic knowledge is only one part of career development. Building practical experience and a portfolio of completed work can help graduates demonstrate what they can do.
The particular career direction a graduate takes will usually depend on the area they become strongest in, whether that is directing, writing, camera work, editing, sound, production or another part of the creative process.
