I'm a senior in high school and I'm going to be attending a film school in Fall '08. I've heard some schools are better for directing and others better for cinematography so I'm trying pick one. After making films and doing all the jobs myself for 5 years I can't decide whether I want to Direct or DP. Has anyone had this dilemma? Any advice? Any schools that have solid programs in both? What sorts of skills would be especially helpful on the professional level for each job?

I've applied to NYU and University of Austin Texas. (haven't heard back) I got into GVSU and University of Milwaukee Wisconsin. I can easily get into Colombia Chicago and Colombia Hollywood...not sure if either of them is even worth it.

Go to the film school you think is best in general, and you will learn there. The more you work on films where you are part of a modular crew (playing 1 role), the more you will learn about what you want to do. The fact is, though, you might not know until well after you graduate college - you just need to get the experience until it is clear to you.
