The Study Programme

Something that I would have liked to change my study program is the emphasis that the University puts on the technical quality of teaching Film and TV, since it lacks elements or subjects that put into practice the few technical skills that are delivered.

The first years of study are very interesting, the first year is far the year in which I learned the most, especially using the camera and different technical elements such as the tripod and editing programs.

After the second year with the photography course, except for those who dedicate themselves to it, the practical subjects are finished and the knowledge about the use and configuration of the camera is stalled and in many cases they are forgotten, it is from there where Responsibility rests with the student, however the university can not abandon the order of practical use of knowledge for all its students.

The problem is that you learn a little bit and very superficially, which is useful to be able to know the different areas of cinema and be able to choose with a greater criterion to which to draw but at the same time it is negative in the sense that the courses of Specialization at the end of the educational program are very short.

It is clear that the greatest responsibility lies with the student, but it is also true that the pedagogy and the educational program are completely unconcerned after

Language Challenges

Learning English is very difficult if you do not practice it regularly, so I agree with you, Professor, the biggest challenge is definitely patience.

I do not think the problem is the fear of pronunciation, maybe if it is in public, but if you do not feel safe, with all the means to learn it is not drama to get home and find out how a certain word is pronounced in English and from there feel safe to do well. The problem is the dedication to do that.

It is much easier to speak Spanish because it is our mother tongue and it is difficult to leave it, and even more so when everyone around you speaks that language, for which I feel it is also very important to generate spaces where peer communication is in English , but this also needs time and dedication.

Like the teacher I think that everything in life, with enough dedication, is possible to learn, especially a language with which we live every day through the Anglo-Saxon cinematographic cultural production that invades our cinema and small screen, all the days we hear words in English, the problem is to get rid of the subtitles and understand the grammar and semantics of the language, and learning the logic with which everything works is facilitated.
