The film industry is one of the largest industries in the world because people love watching movies as a form of entertainment. While the film industry is competitive due to the number of people with a passion for film, pursuing film studies can help better understand how movies work and provide a career path for those interested in the film business. Although film studies may be seen as a useless major, if one has a passion for cinema it can be worthwhile to take some film classes or minor in film studies to explore their interest, as many successful directors and producers got their start without degrees from top film schools.

1. One of the largest industries known to mankind is the film industry. Now why do
you think this is? It's simple really; people love to watch movies. It's just
one of those things that never gets old or goes out of style. Just like food,
clothes, and liquor, folks always want more and more great entertainment. The
film industry just has to worry about keeping up with their audience. If you're
a movie nut yourself, then you may want to give film studies a shot. This is a
wonderful career path to take. Just make certain you've got the heart and drive
for the business.
Back in college I made the decision to tackle film studies as a minor. I do
realize that most people say this is a useless form of studies. Don't get me
wrong; I definitely know where they're coming from. Most likely they feel that
far too many people are struggling to penetrate the film industry. Although I
would agree with that, I can't agree with film studies being a waste of anyone's
time. In reality, if you enjoy cinema, you might as well delve into a few film
classes. If nothing else, this will allow you to better understand the way
movies work. But, I'm absolutely not encouraging anyone to dismiss a career in
film. If your passion is for film, then you had better pursue it. Just like any
industry known to man, it is competitive. Name one industry that isn't! They all
are because there are so many people walking this earth. It's only natural that
plenty of them would harbor a passion for film studies and the entertainment
industry. As we all know, there is a great deal of money to be made in this
glitz and glamour business.
You shouldn't have much trouble finding a university that offers film studies
programs. You don't have to go all out and seek a degree from the biggest film
school in New York or California. The truth is if you're passionate about film
and have great ideas, then nothing is going to change that. Some of the biggest
directors and producers came up from virtually nothing at all. The film industry
is about drive and great ideas. So delve into a film studies program that suits
you and play it by ear. Who knows; you just may be the next James Cameron or
Jerry Bruckheimer.
