6 Things To Do After Film School

Hello everyone! How are you all?

Here is 6 things you should do after film school. This is definitely not all of them though and I'll probably make another video like this in the future too. Also it doesn't have to be after film school, it can be whenever or however you decide to work in film :)

Just a heads up, I will be working on quite a long job over the next month, I'll try keep to my schedule, but things may be delayed.

Hope you got something from this video and if you have any ideas of things that you want to see in a video, leave a comment below and let me know!

Thanks for the support, everyone! These are things I wish I knew to do when I finished film school. And of course it doesn't mean you have to go to film school. Everyone's journey is different :)
Just a heads up, I'll be working on an unusually long job over the next month so I will attempt to keep to schedule but please bare with me during this time!

7th tip! Get a job in the supermarket to get something to eat in first time after film school ;-)

The complete saying was originally “A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.”, honestly it is also better to be a jack of all trades on set especially when you are an AC you often are a jack of all trades person and when you step up to DOP, you should have mastered most of the roles you are leading, so you can give quick and clear instructions to your Crew to setup to get a right look for your shot.

Great video, as always. :) Thank you so much for your great content and the work you do.

I am currently studying at a lesser known film school and I am loving it. I am learning a lot of stuff there, also about marketing movies, the industry in my home country and for my graduation there I want to try to make my first feature film.

I am wondering if the reputation of a film school gives you any kind of advantage in the industry, to land jobs or to become a filmmaker who can live off making films. For example I do see folks who say "OH, I want to go to USC, or UCLA or NYU, ..." because they have the best connections to big studios and stuff and the most renowned alumni of all time there. And in my anxiety, I then start to google the best film schools, thinking if I didnt visit them, I would not have a chance to make it... Although I know that is not true. There are a lot of dudes who made it as filmmakers without going to film school at all. Nevertheless, my mind is playing games with me and this gives me anxiety attacks sometimes. What do you think about this? Is there any advantage regarding the reputation of a film school?

This is definitely one of the best film-related channels on YouTube and I can believe you are based in Aus!! I'm tired of seeing all the film videos based in the US. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! You have a new sub :). Greetings from Sydney!
