I liked this website because it literally gave me a pros and cons list of the perks and difficulties of becoming/having a career in film making as a director. I learned that it's a competitive field and requires long hours,difficult conditions, and salaries can vary. I also learned that its a job where you have a lot of freedom, express your ideas and be creative which all really appeal to me. The best part for me was that it also gave me a long and varied list of schools that have careers in film making like NYU, University of Illinios, and SCAD (just to name a few)

This website I didn't like so much since it was just a lot of facts that I already knew but it did talk about some of the best directors/professionals in the film making business like one of my idols James Cameron and Steven Spielberg which compelled me to research about both of them. Where I found how they started out, where they studied, previous experience etc. All of this made me realize how gifted these people really are and how you have to be if you really want to make it in the business.

I loved this site because although it described the real life of how you career in film can be lit is also realistic and makes me realize how difficult the competition is in this field. Also how important connections are and having a good and stable network set up. I really liked this "Flexibility, persistence, hard work and motivation are all pre-requisites for success in the industry." because it prepares you for what you might be getting into.
What questions remain
because I want to keep researching yet another career because even though the 2 previous ones I loved I can't decide which of the two I like the most. I think it's pretty obvious that I want to do something in that industry. I think it's one of the only places where I can express myself and be creative.
