I finally found my passion. Now what?
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!!!

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
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.

Drama would be one subject to think about, along with Media Studies.
However, there is a danger with doing Media Studies which I think you should know about it and it is that most universities in this world don't recognize it as a subject at A level or whatever exams you're taking, so be sure that when it comes to your exams, that you keep your psychology and literature.
So when it goes beyond college, ensure that your chosen university will recognize MS as a subject.
I hope this helped,
