Chong0318 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 (edited) I have to make a decision between two programs: Master of Visual Anthropology in USC and Cinema Studies in Culture and Media at NYU. The first is a one-year program and based in Anthropology department to make ethnography movies, whereas the NYU's is a two-year program and more focusing on filming (the program is cooperated with anthropology department and have many courses in anthropology field) I am interested in the crossing field of documentary filming and anthropology. After getting the master degree, I will seek a job in the USA in the related industry to gain experience to make documentary films. Now I am more intended to USC because it is a one-year program which means the less financial burden on me ( both two programs has no any financial support so far ) and its courses' design seems very practical. NYU’s program has to learn three courses about film theories which I am not interested in so much. Actually, I need both anthropology theories study and documentary filming skills ( not cinema theories). I also heard people say that "studying the independent and art films go New York and Commercial films go LA". In my case, how should I choose? Anyone has experience in related field and can give some comments in this two schools or cities? Thanks! Edited April 3, 2017 by Chong0318 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
