Changing the Study Programme

It was during my five years in the university and studying the Cinema and TV career, I have discovered that this career has many shortcomings at the curriculum level. However, I don’t repentant by this decision to study an unconventional career. 

One of the weak points that my career has is that too many subjects related to communication are carried out whose knowledge is nor relevant to what we are studying. Also, in this career doesn’t prioritize the teaching of technical elements that are essential to advance and work in the audiovisual area. It must also be included in the academic aspect, that there are missing subjects where vital elements are deepened to discover the dynamics of cinema as is the theory of art and the visual resources used in cinematography.

Technically, exist an absence of audiovisual equipment (cameras, lenses, audio devices, computers, among other resources) that allow develop our exercises according to requirements of industry. We also feel as students that there is not adequate support when it comes to getting a professional practice because, having a very small work field in our country, it is very difficult to obtain a job in the future.

Currently, important changes are being made in the curriculum of our career that are being applied as of this year and that will allow us to correct the previous weaknesses.
