Just photography.  Most of the jobs you'll be hired for though is continuity director.  \n\nIn that event, you would be using a simple digital camera and instant printer or a polaroid.\n\nThe reason for this is when the director yells "cut", you can freeze the scene on film where the actors left off.\n\nIt would be your job to make sure that all props, hair, lit cigarettes and half filled glasses are exactly where they were once reshooting begins.\n\nFor publicity stills, all you need to learn is all the basics of lighting,depth of field etc. from any college.\n\nActually, there are so many books and magazines out on the market, you could probably be self taught.

Why donn't you try the STB/DVD/MPEG Domain. It's the hotest place to get into as a fresher. Just get some training if you dont have any hands on experience.\n\nIt's worth.

Try New York Film Academy which offers 6 month to 1 year diploma programs in dramatic and performing arts. Check them out at www.nyfa.org. \n\nBetter yet, list down all performing arts colleges in www.collegescolleges.com. Click on the New York state category. Then, do your individual assessment of each school.

I suggest you become part of the A/V club at your school or any art classes at school that have to do with video or photography. USC and UCLA have famous film schools. Lucas, Coppola, Spielberg, and many others came from these schools. You will probably have to be a cinematographer, editor or camera man before becoming a director. This will at least get into the business.

Study the films of your favorite directors, over and over again until you know virtually every camera shot.  Read scripts every chance you get. Learn to storyboard. Write a short (3-5 minutes) screenplay and shoot it. Learn how to operate a camera and editing equipment. Shoot a couple 15 minute films. If necessary take classes to meet the right people. Now you are ready. Good luck.

Depending on the part of photography involved, you could be an optical engineer, dealing with the lenses, a mechanical engineer dealing with the camera shutter, (film) transport, and so on, an electronic engineer dealing with the electronics used in modern cameras for light measuring, focusing, and much more.  Semiconductor physics is involved deeply in digital cameras.  Chemical engineering is involved with film design, manufacture, and processing (development of pictures).\n\nI hope this sheds a bit of light on your question.

Go for ceramics for the art courses.  Also try history of film.\n\nGood luck with that.   Be careful trying to take the "easy" way out.  An A in an easy course may not look as good as a B in a difficult course.
