What should I major in so I can make movie trailers?
Asked by wo_oh_hI'm a high school senior, about to start college, and I've been accepted to and only to UC Davis and UC Riverside, and Cal State Northridge, so should I go to a Community College or UC for the specific profession I want to go into.

... the movie industry is less about what you know (and learned) and more about who you know who's in the business to get your foot in the door. You could do film studies or cinematic design... digital editing or computer graphics... they'll all help (somewhat) - but the first thing you have to do is to lower yourself and get the lowest, most menial job in the industry (like a Production Assistant) where you'll be treated like a slave for a few years -- but you'll learn the industry and slowly move up if you're willing to put in the time & work (and give up your life to get ahead)
