Film majors are actually very broad in general, including film production, script planning, video editing, directing, etc. can become one of the professional directions.
It is not difficult for friends who understand the film and television circle to find that many well-known and excellent film directors in South Korea are not actually from the class, but their mastery and comprehension of professional knowledge are not inferior at all, especially in film, which has high requirements for talent and creativity. So why do you recommend studying in Korea?
01
The entry threshold is low
First of all, compared with most other countries, south Korea is much less difficult to enroll, especially undergraduate students. Domestic junior college students applying to famous schools with high QS rankings such as Koryo, Yonsei, and Sungkyunkwan abound. The reason is that the inspection standards of Korean universities for cultural and professional courses for admission applicants are far less stringent than in China, and they do not need to cross the canoe bridge like taking the college entrance examination. As long as your Korean scores meet the standards, the academic requirements meet the standards, the logic of the documents is clear, and the interview preparation is sufficient, the odds of winning are great.
Does that mean that Korean universities are very watery? Of course not, South Korea's own college entrance examinations, the pressure to enter the university is no less than ours, but we are applying as foreigners, the natural admission standards are relatively lowered a lot.
02
Course quality
I personally think that similar to the director of film production these strong practical disciplines, practical courses are still more important than the theoretical courses, of course, theoretical knowledge also needs to be mastered, the application of theory in practice is a very important link, Korean universities in this regard is actually doing a good job.
Case studies, seminars, and social practice classes are not uncommon in Korean school curricula. Some school professors are themselves highly respected seniors in this circle, so it is very common to take their own students to the Busan Film Festival, or recommend that you go to a certain film crew and group internship.
03
Recommend colleges and universities
Chuo University, a major institution of Korean film majors. In addition to hyun bin, Kim so-hyun, Cha Tae-hyun, Park Shin-hye and other familiar faces, there have also been many well-known screenwriters and directors in the past few decades. For example, Jiang Digui of "Life and Death Spy Change" graduated from the Department of Drama and Film of Central University, and Yin Zhongbin of "War with Crime" graduated from the Film Research Institute of Central University.
Secondly, dongguk university in South Korea is recommended, which is no less than chung-koong University, which is also an art institution of higher learning. Dongguk University has the Chungmuro Imaging Center, which has the most cutting-edge film and television production equipment among Korean universities, and provides an excellent teaching environment for students. In addition to An Qixuan and Lin Yun'er, who are extremely popular love beans, there are also film and television celebrities such as Jeon Ji-hyun and Lee Jeong-jae. Moreover, the knife bearer of "Masquerade", Leung Yoon-ho, graduated from the Department of Directing, and Ahn Sang-hoon, who directed the movie "Blind Witness" starring Kim Ho-na, was also born at Dongguk University.
In addition, in the past two years, many art students have asked about Yonsei University, because Bong Joon-ho, the director of "Parasite" who won the Oscar, graduated from here, and Kim Tae-yong, the director of "Late Autumn", but these two directors are from sociology majors. Ranked in the top 100 in the world and in the top 5 in South Korea, Yonsei university has a strong comprehensive strength, but the advantage major is not an art major.
