FAQ of the day // DO YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE ON MY CAREER CHOICE? The manner in which the degree curriculum is run, you are exposed to every avenue of the film industry. Thus your broad experience and involvement in all aspects of the filmmaking process, including conceptualizing, and how you utilize and gain from the resources made available to you, equip you with confidence to enter the industry. Our students make the films themselves; the producer is the team leader, the sound designer is responsible for all the sound, the actor is the lead. Our student films get shown on SABC & MNet, they travel all over the world to film festivals. We also host our own AFDA film festivals - the larger of the two happens at the end of the year. From the very conceptualisation of a film to the making of the final DVD cover and poster, all happens here on campus. The producers go out and market their films; they invite the talent scouts to the festival, and get press coverage. Further advice is to expose yourself to the field as much as you can - go to shows, watch the makings of movies, and get involved in community or school drama projects. Consider what your personal successes have been, this is often a good indication of where your chosen strengths lie. Its an industry built on passion, get in tune with your heart and follow your dream.
