My 2 penny worth....

You cant learn an art quickly. You learn some stuff by asking but most needs to be learned by practice, practice, practice.

After 5 or 6 years at this game I feel I am finally sort of competant, and I am obsessed ! I can tell you want a jump cut is but I cant tell you in a few words on a board how the cut will affect an audience in the context of a piece of work.

Some questions are easy, usually nerdy technical questions but the art of film making is what you must really learn yourself by doing, reading, doing, getting feedback - repeat.
