A Week as a Student

Your week kicks off with 'Intro to Broadcast Production.' Today, the professor details shot composition and camera movements, using examples from classic films. Later, in the studio, you practice setting up a basic three-point lighting system. You struggle slightly with the back light, but a TA walks you through adjusting the scrim. After class, you grab dinner with friends, discussing your weekend and plans for an upcoming short film project. You feel a familiar mix of excitement and overwhelm, knowing the amount of creative work ahead.
