Acting seems to be one of the things many people would like to do. It can certainly be rewarding, but it's probably one of the hardest areas of the film industry to break into.
If film and television is your passion, there is a whole host of other jobs that will get you into this sometimes glamorous, always competitive industry. Whether your interest lies in directing, producing, or even script-writing, choosing the right school is the most important decision you'll making.
The first step in getting into the film industry is determining what type of career you're interested in. Just about any job in the film industry pays very well, so you should be ready for plenty of competition. You should also be aware that you'll need to start at the bottom, often as a production assistant (answering phones, getting coffee, etc) before any hopes of working in the field you were trained in.
Also know that you'll need to move to where the work is. If you're planning on working in film this often means working on location for weeks, sometimes months at a time.
Choose the Film School that Meets your Criteria
If your passion is continuity, don't go to one of the film schools that focuses on directing. While it is typically important to get a feel for all areas of film production, you'll want to spend the most time focusing on your own career goals.
Find a school that will let you choose courses that best suit your goals rather than handing you a set class list that you must follow.
With the growth of the film industry, you'll find film schools popping up all over the country (and the world). So you'll need to do your due diligence to make sure you're not paying a lot of money for a degree that isn't going to get you anywhere.
Check to see how long the school has existed and make sure you check their credentials. Some large universities are even starting to offer film degrees, and they are often highly regarded in the film industry so that is another possibility.
