What should I be trying to learn or teach myself if I am interested in a career as a filmmaker?
I love cinematography, I think it's a beautiful art form that we can use to tell stories to people around the world. I took a broadcast journalism class last year as a freshman, so I have a very basic understanding of video editing, but I would like to go more in-depth with it. I would like to learn about what cameras, microphones, and editing software's I should begin practicing with. I would also like to learn story telling techniques, with things like script writing and camera shots. Really the most research I've done is watching YouTube videos about film making, but I'm wondering if there are specific videos, books or online courses I could look into? Thank you!
How can I pick between a couple of career paths i'm thinking of?
I am split between a career involved with computer science/IT and a career involved with graphic design. I want to be able to make a 6 figure salary, as I live in an area with a high cost of living, but I also want a career i'll enjoy. I like the idea of either career path/majors but i'm conflicted. Is majoring in CS or IT and minoring in Graphic Design a good idea?

How can I make money with a communications degree?
I will start college in January 2025 as a junior because of my college credits (I’m a photography intern now at my community college). I originally applied to an art school to pursue filmmaking editing but was waitlisted so I decidedto pursue communications (media production) at another school was a close second. But I’m worried that I won’t make any money or won’t end up with atleast a job out of college. My dream job/goal is to edit aesthetic videos , I love cinematography but I am struggling to learn premier pro without a in person teacher and junior year is the year for internships. Should I stick with the communications major and see where it leads me, eventually learning how to edit on my own? Or Should I just major in finance for money and minor in photography on the side ? Any advice would help 🥲
