I'm a freshman, about to start my second semester of Community College. I'm really average.. my GPA is about 2.9, and I've been studying psychology and literature and stuff. Recently, I've really figured out what I REALLY want to do as far as a career goes.
I want to be a cinematographer so bad. I'm SUCH a film buff, and I've taken only one film analysis class and I excelled at it. Everytime I like a movie, I always watch it again with the commentary on it to learn about the director's ideas and discoveries.
Are there opportunities to pursue this carreer path at a mere community college?? What kinds of classes should I be looking for? How can I really get started?
Thanks SO much!!!

apply middle-semester to a university with cinematography as one of it's main points. since you have an average GPA, send in applications to all the cinematography-based colleges that you can find, and act really passionate about it when you are applying (if you have to write an essay or talk to them or make a movie or something) and chances are you will get into ATLEAST one. my mom transferred from community college to a university late and ended up getting a master's degree in teaching. all you have to do is want it really bad and work really hard on your school work, because your goal would probably only work well and leave you with a good career if you transfer to a university with cinematography as one if it's strong points.
