Scott David’s Answer

Again, Film Production is good to make movies and work on a film set. Film Studies is good for working on observations of what a film offers to the world, and possibly working as a critic.

There are no rules, you can make a movie tomorrow. However, if you want to learn how to make a movie well, then study film production.

Bob’s Answer

Scott put it very succinctly above. That said, some film theory (or history) classes can give a good base of knowledge in adding to your understanding of film production.

Scott David’s Answer

Film production is going to take you through how films are made; specifically lighting, sound, directing, cinematography, set construction/dressing, costumes, makeup, and working with actors. Film studies is going to take you through the different types of films that have been shot all over the world from the beginning of the twentieth century to today. Production is good if you want to work on film sets and make movies, Studies is good if you want to work as a cretic or want to explore the art of cinema.
