During the years I attended El Camino College, I have been exploring in my aspiration in cinema by engaging myself into my college's film/video courses, such as, film analysis, screenplay analysis, and film production. As I was taking these classes, I gained a lot of knowledge and experience in filmmaking during the semester. For example, I had lack of knowledge and experience in the movie making process; but all that change when I took my first film production class. Every week! I started to write, plan, shoot, edit with my classmates. I wrote scripts about a man with a deformed face becoming a crime fighter to a passive aggressive woman wanting to speak up for herself. I also took on many positions, such as, director, cinematographer, and editor. These tasks were very challenging, but I gained some skills as a filmmaker. I am grateful for the knowledge and skills that El Camino College has provided for me.
Although I do appreciate the education I received from a junior college, it does have some limitation. For instance, due to all the budget cuts, El Camino only offers a small amount of courses in film/video. This makes it harder for students like me to gain knowledge in their academic interest. The reason I will feel better transferring to a university because I want to take courses not offered at a junior college, such as, screenwriting, the fundamentals of sound, special effects, and/or producing films. I know that a university will definitely broaden my education in cinema than a junior college.
In my future, I plan to achieve as successful creative producer by creating films/ in all genres, so that everyone will be entertain by my work. I know by attending a university will help me achieve this long term goal
you should check the nature of your sentences example ''every week! i started to write,plan,shoot,edit with my classmates' its quite wrong it should be more like ''every week, i write, plan shoot and edit films and movies with my class mates'' you can also put the sentence in past tense s . good luck
