Learning about media?

Now for you lot who believe they could make it in the media world, i think you could. However with the level of media teaching in colleges and schools i do not think it will help at all. Getting into media is all about getting out and being found. Not writing twelve essays about the reason for music videos and why we pan the camera not keep it still! I understand there is stuff you need to know but i do not understand why all of the essays and writing and sheets, god i am sick of sheets! I think we have enough sheets to make at least half a rain forest! In my opinion its a bit of a waste of time, we sit at computers being shown videos but not taught how to take them ourselves, we aren't taught techniques, like how to make your video look like that awesome dancing silhouette advert or make it look neat and tidy, we're just taught WHAT IT IS. We know what it is, we are not that stupid, when i come to college i want to learn how to write a script, how to use the camera how to edit it and make it look amazing, but when i go to a lecturer and ask how to do something and they say i don't know, it makes me believe the cirriculumn for media needs a change.

With the knowledge of media i have, i could write an article however i could barely make it because i can't even edit a video to look brighter then before. Its ridiculous! Its all my opinion but you know, i have a rather loud opinion. Here i sit in lesson writing this, is it a bit harsh, probably.

Sometimes it feels like I'm headbutting the wall!!!
