Photographer, with a low academic background, wants to receive higher education in photography and has dropped out of school for many years. He wants to be a cinematographer or a reporter.

You can go to a college for further study, or you can sit in. In fact, the photography major offered by domestic universities has deviated from the essence of education, and it is difficult for facilities and teachers to reach the expected level. Now the only photography major in China is estimated to be Beijing Film Academy, and Beiying Photography has been established for more than 30 years, so all aspects are relatively perfect. Film photographers or journalists don't have to graduate from colleges and universities, because photography depends not only on artistic skills, but also on superb technology. Students who graduate from colleges and universities may not be able to work as film photographers. So I suggest you start with film theory and foreign film photography, watch more movies, pull the tab and try more.

It is difficult for a journalist to become a journalist without a degree, at least not in China. If you want to be a reporter now, you have to graduate with a bachelor's degree, or if you are a little better.

A cinematographer can still do it, which requires endurance and perseverance, because not everyone can become famous in one fell swoop. The average cinematographer has seven or eight assistants, so to start from the bottom, it is probably to serve tea and water. This does not require a high degree. What a cinematographer wants is innovation, innovation of shooting methods and self-study of basic theories. You can go to Beiying Post Bar to meet the students majoring in photography and see what they are learning and what you are learning. It is not necessarily a good learning system. Quentin, the director, was just a peddler renting CDs before he became famous. He watched all the discs, made movies and became famous. Therefore, you have to have your own strength before you can go to the director and show him your ability. Or organize your own team to make a film, and then build your own reputation through the internet, and someone will find you soon. . . .
