Which class? - TravelPUNK Backpacker College Student Budget Travel Message Boards!

My one remaining requirement for school is the fine art requirement. I can either take Intro to Digital Photography/Digital Imaging or Screenwriting: How Movies Work.

Which would you take?

screenwritting for sure... but that is coming from a drama nerd.

**ashpunk** · 03-30-2004, 10:08 PM

.... and here I though digital photog would be more fun

**Diorama** · 03-30-2004, 10:12 PM

I'd say intro to digital photography. But mabye that's because I actually need to take that class cuz I don't understand anything with the word digital in it..

**d_fresh** · 03-31-2004, 02:35 AM

both sound interesting but I'd have to go for digital photo because I'm a photo dork.

Screenwriting for sure! You can take digital imaging anywhere and at anytime. You can even buy books on it, oh and programmes. Also, I love movies, and plays etc...so, obviously I'd go for screenwriting.

Screenwriting - you can self-learn digital photography far more easily.

**Canadian Dude** · 03-31-2004, 06:02 AM

I say Digi-Photo, cause i wish I new more about how this bloody thing works!!!

**worldwidemike** · 03-31-2004, 07:40 AM

I gotta go with the photography thing...much more useful to the average person. I mean, what percent of people actually would use the knowledge learned in a screenwriting class? Point 00001 percent? Meanwhile, nearly everyone takes photos...

I vote for screenwriting

**my retro career** · 03-31-2004, 09:50 AM

Screenwriting, yo

**joanofarc** · 03-31-2004, 10:41 AM

digiphoto - unless you actually think you'll be making a movie anytime soon...

if you don't already have a s.writing background... what's one class really gonna do for you?
you'd probably need four classes to become decent.

***Beady*** · 03-31-2004, 11:08 AM

ha ha ha............you know what? I don't think we've helped very much. Ooh, what will it be? Digi-photo or screenwriting..... I hope you choose what you want to do most, instead of listening to us lot. Seems that we can't make our minds up as a whole either.

I think they are both pretty cool subjects though!

**tecia** · 03-31-2004, 01:11 PM

I would say dig.photo

**LiveFreeorDie** · 03-31-2004, 06:02 PM

If your into movies....definately go with screenwriting!!

**Somnambulation** · 03-31-2004, 06:25 PM

Hey, thanks for the input. Tough decision, I'm interested in both things, but came to the same conclusion as Beady and Voyd. Digital imaging/photography is more practical, but I'd like to gain a better understanding of film and I probably will never get around to it outside of school. Plus I'd like to be able to tell myself I have the ability to write a successful screenplay... if I wanted to.

**tecia** · 03-31-2004, 07:52 PM

Let us know how the class goes!!!!

**Somnambulation** · 03-31-2004, 08:09 PM

Will do
