Post 9 (04-12) Changing the Study Programme

A Month of Leaving Forever?

I study cinema in a public university and I would like to start by saying the only thing that I wouldn't change of my career. I wouldn’t change the teaching methods because it is very inclusive, democratic and open to the dialog in the classes on both the theoric and practic subject, the teachers value the opinion of the students and this is very important at the time of creating a community in the university.

The university have two study programmes for the same career, the first is the bad one and the second is the good one, well, I have the first.

In my studies programme we have many theoric subjects about communication and mass media, this is good but we have less time for the subjects specific of cinema and also this makes the workload is very high, because it combines the delivery of academic work with the delivery of cinematographic proyects. For all this I would propose as a solution to remove a few theoric subjects and to add more subject about cinema (production designer, more screenplay) and extending the deadlines.

Long ago the university campus was very beautiful, full of trees, fresh air and lots of grass, but now it is full of buildings in construction and many construction machinery, all the landscape is grey, there is nowhere to sit in the shade, I would like the campus  to be like before, green, quiet and with party in the "Cenicero" the fridays.

The technology in the campus is very is good, but bad in the careers because in my case, in cinema career, the equipment that we need for recording the short films is not good, I think that the directive needs to invest more money in  last generation filmmaking equipment.
