So you must recognize the movie frame in last one - right?
Firstly - not saying I was any different at this stage in my own life. But I had to retake Algebra II/ PreCalc in college - where I tested out of all History and English GED's. And that always sucks. Also my father switched from Film to Medicine in his 30's - so he had to re-teach himself to get into med school. Possible - but not as easy as doing it 1X well. So I can relate. Benefit of hindsight, I 'd find a way to focus more.
And I studied Vis Arts (Media - Film/Vid/photo production + heavy on critcism and analysis ) at UCSD in the 1990's
Anyways, film iz a medium of communication. Understanding and knowledge of things that just help you do it beter and with greater significance and meaning. The How's are the easiest part of it - aside from getting the money....
This is favorite of mine that relates to your dilemma of interest.
