Cass Comm Building and Workload
The following is an computer-generated summary of the video transcript.
So I'm going to talk about some of the academic buildings here on campus. I'm going to talk about the three that I think are most important to my education. Specifically, S O. The first one is the cast communications building. There's like three cast annex, which is offices cast Sci Annex, which is like science professor offices. You have the cast science, which is where all of your labs are. Then there's cast calm, and that's where most communication classes are. Almost every single classroom is like a computer lab. There are couple screening rooms and essentially what it is like there's a there's a huge production screen and then thie the chairs are set up like if you're in a movie theater, but they're like swiftly chairs like office chairs. I took like American Cinema, World cinema, essentially like where we were watching movies, every single class, and then we were analyzing them, interviewing them, stuff like that. Obviously, the cast calm building has had a huge impact on my academic career and professional career. So as a film student, you can rent out film equipment like you can rent out like tripods, cameras, stabilizers. A whole like Dolly is a whole bunch of different stuff. We also do have a black box room theatre in there that you can use if you needed film interviews. If you want to build props, set up your whole stage and there you can rent that out as well, which is really, really convenient s. So that's definitely helped me out a lot with my projects being able to make them look a little bit more professional. So the workload for a film major, obviously, I'm double majoring in film and calm so I work. In some ways, it is not still, as a film major, especially with the buffet. All of my classes are workshop based, and pretty much what that means is they're like work intensive. Like I'm going out, I'm filming, I'm editing. I'm like doing all this stuff, so it's a lot of work just scheduling actors and finding times to film. So there is a lot of hours there spent outside of the classroom working on my craft. We don't always get a lot of work time, usually later in the semester with, like our final project, we get some more time in class. Usually the classes spent discussing our next subject or topic, helping us with techniques and then outside of class. So in my like digital media class, for example, we're learning a whole bunch of different things, like I just learned like, basically html coding. We're learning like Photoshopped and everything like that, so that so what will happen is a professional. My professor will do like a step by step, how to do this in class and then outside of class, we have our own homework assignments that we have to complete for the next class and then move on to the next unit. It is exciting, like, you know, I'm cranking out all this work. Me put on my resume to show to people to further my professional career, which is really awesome. Also my workload is different than, like my roommates. There's a lot of sitting, concentrating, studying where mine is like going out, getting footage, filming stuff. They're both, You know, I would say they're both about the same workload. But being a film major, there's more of a physical aspect to expose. So my classes are a little bit different than what typical classrooms are like. For like, you know, if you're going for your age that we want look a writing class or a math class or something like that just because they are very much discussion based especially since the film Calm Department. So it's like especially once again, two three hundred, four hundred level classes. You pretty much have the same exact people in every single one of your classes. So you do get very close to Your professor is very close to your class mice, which is really nice just having that kind of environment in the classes there. We don't really have desks in the cast calm building. You're all sitting together, very discussion based, very open. Um, our classrooms are small, which I'll talk about any different video. That's what I love is my professors like they just want me to succeed and they want me to do well, which is really nice.
