Changes to my study programme

After five years in this career of course I think that many changes are needed, some related to the lack of funding of our institute for the unfair distribution of resources by the University, and others related to the lack of will of the highest authorities - all journalists- to understand cinematographic work as something very different from journalism.

In the first place, although the theoretical contents about mass media theories are necessary in our office, can not be extended for four years of undergraduate. In my opinion, at most four semesters, and taking care always that it is related to cinema and journalism in equal parts. Currently, many contents in the curriculum are repeated year after year. Secondly, the time invested in filming and editing increases more and more as the demand increases according to the level, however our current study programme does not consider this time outside of classes, much less in particularly demanding semesters in which we have the double of theoretical subjects. It is also unkind with those students who seek audiovisual works outside the university. To this is added that the assistantships, instead of being help courses, are like another subject.

Finally, it is quite outrageous that we have one of the most expensive fees in the entire university and we have deficiencies in the cinematographic equipment or we do not have access to technologies that are being used at this moment. It is also hard to believe that only this year will resources be awarded to student projects when all film schools finance at least part of these jobs.
