Please tell me where I stated the films I gave as examples are plot driven? I listed a couple of films I enjoy then also mentioned that I enjoy plot driven films. If my ambiguity has confused you then I apologise.

I never mentioned anything about getting a job at one of these studios, nor did I suggest it was easy. You made a statement which was that the UK has no film industry anymore. I simply stated that there are quite a few major film studios around me. I have not once mentioned that I would like to work on high-end productions, either.

I don't know where you are from but I have three major film studios within a few miles radius of me.

I have always been interested in social realism. I love films that address cultural and social issues, such as This Is England, Neds, The Magdalene Sisters and Kes. I have a particular interest in British and Irish cinema. Though I have seen some fantastic American films recently such as Boyhood, Short Term 12 and The Grand Budapest Hotel to name a few. I guess I enjoy films that are plot driven. I'm not truthfully a massive fan of major Hollywood productions (with of course the odd exception).

I am actually interested in applying for this course at Oxford. http://www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/undergraduate/courses-listing/human-sciences I would ultimately like to combine both science and film/TV.

England. I'm not too sure yet. I'm not sure about 'big Hollywood productions'.

I live in the UK. I am illegible for a student loan.

I wasn't quite sure where to post this so forgive me if it is in the wrong place. I know this question most be posted here quite frequently but I wanted some sound advice. I am currently in a dilemma. I am thinking about trying to break into the film industry. I would love to become a cinematographer but I have different people telling me different things. I have no experience in this field. All I have is a desire to make films - which of course millions of other people have too. There's nothing unique about me, I have no special skill. Should I bother taking the risk? Next year I want to study either science of film production at university. Many people have told me a BA is useless and it will only leave me in a "f**k load of debt." But I have no proper skill (other than shooting a few things with my Canon 7D) and I want to learn. If I study science I am almost guaranteed a career. I love science but I'm not sure if I want a career in it. I have no contacts, I don't have a great deal of money. Am I doomed to failure? Does anyone have any suggestions?
