CHANGES THAT COULD BE MADE TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME

 

If you want to study film production in University of Chile, you must know that it’s a 5 year career and the curriculum it’s separate on theorical and practical subjects, you will have both every year. In a regular semester, the curriculum have speciality theorical and practica in cinema (these are my favorites classes), and also has basic formation subjects these we share with the other career, journalism. You must know that the workload it’s get so hard in the final of the semester, because are the final deliverys of the practical subjects, although the basic formation subjects are an workload too, because are difficult (at least for me).

Likewise, the're somethings that I would like to change in the study programme. Before I was a student of here I loved the curruculum, but I would have liked to knew somethings before, don’t misunderstand me, I’m still loving my carrer but they are a few things that I think it’s not to good. For me, It’s the basic formation subjects. I understand that it’s necessary to learn theoric information about communication, but always I feelt that they're more focused in the journalism than cinema, and this kind of preference makes so hard to follow the courses. It´s a lot to read, to write and the test are always the same. It’s been the same method in this 3 years on the most of FB courses. So, If this teaching methods or the tests at least, are more neutral between both career, it would be easier to follow for the film production students. Also, something that I would change too it´s the order of some courses of cinema. They´reimportants subjects that it teaching too late, for example: We learning production in 3rd year, but the first shortfilm we filming it’s in 2nd year, so it’s so frustrating and chaotic do production work only with your  intuition and youtube tutorials, because we can made a lot of  innecesary mistakes that can were avoied if they are taught us production before. But this it´s a curriculum problem, because the production teachers are really good. Actually, the teachers in general are good, professionals, and also empathethic. In my experiences, they always were empathetic with the students and I am so gratefull for that.

In the other side the faculty it’s not to big, it has 2 principal buildings for the only 2 carrers, so that it’s the reasons why ICEI it’s small, and even if it’s not to esthetical, I like the place. My favourite site of the faculty it’s the Hoyo because I like the paintings of chilean movies that are in the walls, and also I have good memories  with my friends and classmates here. And with respect of the technology, the faculty of cinema have something calls “pañol” here the're all the crew necessary to make an audiovisual piece. There sound and photography equipment, lightbags, tripods and more. Some of the equipment its aged, but they keep  working.
