您为什么要在USYD学习电影研究专业？
如果你是一个喜欢看电影,看电影tudies on the list of majors would probably catch your eye. And whilst Film Studies gets you to look into a whole range of films from小说，历史和无声电影的纪录片，也可以a very theoretical subject area.
If you’re喜欢英语，英语扩展，视觉艺术，历史或戏剧的人，您可能会喜欢电影研究。这并不意味着您需要研究这些主题，但这是一个很好的指南！
电影研究专业的前三名优点
#1: You’re exposed to all sorts of films
电影研究的一件很酷的事情是您会真正意识到那里的不同类型的电影。这就像广泛阅读，但观看广泛！
“Getting exposed to new movies, new ideas and new kinds of films!它[电影研究]就此扩大了您的视野。”帕特里克说。
您可能还会发现自己对您通常观看的不同类型感兴趣，并且you’ll start to look at films from another perspective.
#2: You become a critical thinker
由于电影研究就是要研究电影并更深入地理解电影，所以you become quite the critical thinker, where you consider the production, context and messages of the film.
“从学术上讲，这也有助于我批判性的思维，写作和分析以及将概念汇总在一起。电影研究就像是艺术，戏剧，媒体和英语的交集，也是如此。”帕特里克说。
“So您正在阅读来自不同领域的学者的东西，，，，and it’s quite multidisciplinary in that kinds of way.”
#3: You get to watch movies!
当然是给定的，但是getting to watch movies is definitely a huge pro for this major, especially as you’ll be surrounded by film lovers.
“One of the weekly classes is going in and watching a movie!You rock up to the lecture theatre and it’s like, ‘Oh yeah, this is a uni class room’”, Patrick said.
电影研究专业的前三名
#1: You won’t enjoy all the films you watch
这首先与第一个专业人士联系在一起。尽管您可以观看一系列电影，其中许多您可能会真正喜欢，但这也意味着there will be some films that you won’t like.
Patrick said, “Because of how diverse the content is, it might not always be interesting…如果我不说我们看过的一些电影，我会撒谎，我发现有点无聊。”
＃2：理论可能很困难
Film Studies at USYD involves a fair share of theoretical studying and applying these to films.Whilst this is great for developing critical thinking and also analysing the film at another level, it can be mind-bending.
Patrick said, “Sometimes theory can be difficult to understand, it can be dense and difficult to wrap your head around.”
＃3：非常沉重
Although Film Studies at USYD essentially has zero exams,it becomes very assignment heavy, and more specifically, essay heavy.您可以期望从第一年（尤其是第三年）开始很多学术写作。
“这很沉重 - 也就是说，如果我不提到的话，我会说出它there were a few subjects that had interesting assignments，”帕特里克说。
这并不是说没有其他作业表格，但是它主要是基于论文的。So if you like essays, then Film Studies is definitely for you!
话虽如此，如果您对电影充满热情，那么论文的负担不应定义您选择这一专业的选择。
Any regrets?
“一部分就像，我进入了电影研究，认为这可能会给我带来一些实用的电影经验 - 但媒体和沟通确实没有. I guess I didn’t realise that it was very theoretical and it’s not 100% what I expected it to be,” Patrick explained.
如果你在寻找for more practical experience in film making and media production, perhaps you can consider the combined degree at USYD- 艺术学士学位和高级研究学士学位（媒体与传播）。
您希望您在USYD开始电影研究之前知道什么？
“确实需要大量阅读，我认为它与高中英语相同您正在查看文本，绘制主题并讨论角色和技巧。
“So I wish I knew there would beother ideas and methods explored, like history, philosophy and art history elements.It’s not necessarily a negative thing, but you just look at films in a different way,” Patrick said.
Even if you haven’t studied these subjects at high school,如果您对它们有普遍的兴趣，那么这是一个很好的指标，表明该专业适合您！
What makes this major different from the ones offered at other universities?
USYD电影研究的教学教师被认为是令人难以置信的帮助和令人鼓舞的！
Patrick said, “I found that the professors and tutors in Film Studies were really good.他们非常了解和热情，他们使易于理解的困难概念。
“尽管没有很多员工，但确实教书的员工也是如此支持。You can always ask them questions!”
更远，there’s a great amount of flexibility in the electives that you can select within your Film Studies major at USYD.如果其中有电影元素，例如哲学或历史等研究领域，您可以从完全不同的教师中选择选修课。
是什么促使您在USYD选择电影研究？
“I chose Film Studies because I was really into films and我渴望看到电影和流媒体服务以外还有什么……
“您观看了很多没有相同曝光水平的东西I feel like it paired well with Media and Communications while still providing some variety，，，，” Patrick shared.
