CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME

This is my last year studying film studies at the University of Chile, and although I think I feel satisfied with what I have been taught, there are several aspects that I wish they'd been different.

I think what bothered me the most was not feeling a cohesion in the study program, as if we were being taught two university degrees at the same time. On the one hand, film studies, where they taught us about aesthetics, film workshop, film history, etc.

On the other hand, the program of the career included too many joint subjects to journalism. That meant that, for me, there was an excess of subjects related to communication studies about subjects that never interested me, neither to me nor to my film colleagues, who have nothing to do with journalism colleagues.

It seems to me that perfectly the film career could be in the faculty of arts and not in the communication one.

Other aspects that I would like to change is the lack of technical equipment that exists in the faculty, especially in a program that requires teams to be able to carry out their work.

However, I am happy with several aspects of the program. I have been fortunate to be in classes with great teachers who have opened my mind both in the theoretical and practical aspects, as well as I have been able to meet great people and friends within the university.
