FILM SCHOOL

:''For the indie rock band, see Film School (band).''
A 'film school' is a generic term for any educational institution dedicated to teaching moviemaking, including, but not limited to, film production, theory, and writing for the screen. Usually hands on technical training is incorporated as part of the curriculum, such as learning how to use cameras, light meters and other equipment. Most schools are tied to existing colleges and universities, often in art or communication departments. Some are privately owned and not tied to universities, such as technical schools offering associate degrees.
Various debates have raged over the years on the importance of film school in allowing one to enter the film industry. Of course, examples can be offered from both sides, as directors Francis Ford Coppola (UCLA Film School, MFA film directing), Martin Scorsese (NYU Film School, MFA film directing), and George Lucas (USC Film School, MFA film directing) graduated from prestigious film schools, whereas Quentin Tarantino, Paul Thomas Anderson, Robert Rodriguez, and David Fincher had no formal college film training. The rapid rise of independent filmmaking and digital video have changed this debate somewhat, as anyone with a few thousand dollars can shoot their own film (and some have done so quite successfully) with little formal knowledge of the industry. Thus, it can be argued that the high cost of attending a film school can now be spent on making films and learning through practical experience. Others argue that film school is important because it allows students to develop their skills under the guidance of professional instructors, and to network and connect with others interested in filmmaking, as well as with those who may eventually offer them careers in the industry. One example is that the more prestigious schools allow their students to showcase work in film festivals near the end of the semester for film producers and executives.

High school film programs in the United States

Due to the increasing ease and low costs of digital video production and post-production, high schools are slowly starting to build programs that teach film technique. Perhaps the most successful of these programs is Grant High School in Los Angeles, California. Grant has won eight CINE Golden Eagles in seven years (this is better than USC's or UCLA's current track record).
Prominent high school film programs in the United States include:

Culver City High School in Culver City, California.

Darien High School in Darien, Connecticut

Dreyfoos School of the Arts in West Palm Beach, Florida

Dearborn High School in Dearborn, Michigan

Interlochen Arts Academy in Interlochen, Michigan

Grant High School in Los Angeles, California

Idyllwild Arts Academy in Idyllwild, California[22]

Orange County High School of the Arts in Santa Ana, Orange County, California
