Giovanni’s Answer

Hello.... As a freshman you are in a unique position to prepare your Filmaking portfolio to present to universities and the workplace. Set yourself some goals, both of study and production. For example, you can decide to make 1 short film/video every semester. that would be 8 by graduation. That might seem like not much, until you begin to plan. Then again, could you do one a week? Then do it. However, you also need to study on your own, do your research, learn about lighting, screenplays, camara angles, shots, view old films, video editing, copyright laws, follow old and new directors, film sound, directing, acting, budgeting, planning. Look for videos/films made with android and iphone. The best way is to start and slowly get better. Look for movies with low budgets or "0"budget., recreate a scene form a movie, (identical or creatively). To get good you need to produce as much Quality content as you can until you find your nitch and perfect your art.

I spent several years in film/tv and the thing that I heard from everybody was "just make films." By making them, and editing them, you'll practice and get better. You'll start to see what works and what doesn't. And you'll build a portfolio.
