Wikiversity Film School

 * The Wikiversity Film School is a preparitory school for high school and college students who plan to go to film school. We teach you software that film schools do not have the time to teach you.  We teach all the things that regular film schools expect you to know BEFORE you get to their film school.


 * 8% chance of acceptance
 * USC undergraduate department has 800 applications per year but they only accept 50 students. Almost everyone applying to the undergraduate department already has filmmaking experience.


 * Different Goals
 * When you go to USC, they will teach you how to do production and how to work together as a team.


 * At Wikiversity Film School, we teach you how to "Do It Yourself". And we do not teach production.  Instead we teach everything else.


 * Computer Software
 * The major thing that you will not have time to learn at USC is how to use all the possible software for working with film pre-production, production and post production. You have to learn this on your own time... preferably before you get to film school.


 * Therefore, Wikiversity Film School tries to introduce you to all the possible software you will need when you make your own motion pictures.


 * Only Narrative
 * Wikiversity Film School only covers narrative filmmaking. This is not laziness.  Documentary filmmaking, corporate video, event video and multimedia are totally different technologies.  None of these technologies overlap.


 * Incompetent Instructors
 * Many incompetent instructors will ask narrative film students to learn documentary filmmaking. Because the entire technology (filming, sound, and music techologies) are totally different, not only does this waste the students time and money, it gives the students incorrect training.


 * Schools that give students the opportunity to learn about documentary filmmaking is good. But to try to teach narrative filmmaking students by assigning them assignments that teach them incorrect techology is criminal fraud. It prevents you from learning what you need to know.


 * No Production
 * Wikiversity Film School does not teach production. It just is not practical to study live-action film production from a distance.  This requires hands on experience which is not possible over the Internet.

Instead, we teach the technologies you need to know before you start doing your production classes in film school.
