Ever since I was little, I wanted to know how filmmakers did what they did. I wanted to be someone who could tell stories and create images that make people feel the way I felt watching movies as a kid. That desire never left as I grew up and when I found out that you could go to school to study movies instead of math, I was sold.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What skills has this major given you?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Probably one of the greatest skills this major has given me is the opportunity to work with others in the field. A group project for one of my classes here feels like a day on a film set. Learning how to take the work of different people and turn it into one vision is something that I think will be very valuable in work and in life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Any advice for first-year students?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Incoming first-years have probably heard this a million times: Do notnot come into your first year thinking that you need to have it all figured out already! College is supposed to be the place where you try new things and put yourself out there. If you\u2019re coming in undeclared, that\u2019s great! If you feel like you want to change majors once, twice, or even three times, that\u2019s fine as well! Be open to new adventures and most of all \u2013 have fun!<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s your favorite study music and why?<br \/>\n<\/strong>My favorite study music is, ironically, film scores. John Williams, Hanz Zimmer, James Newton Howard, the list goes on. For studying, film scores work really well because there\u2019s nothing to sing along to but there\u2019s still a constant background noise that helps me focus. Plus, I always get put in an energetic mood when I hear the main themes from my favorite movies, so that helps me stay on task.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s your favorite thing to do off-campus?<br \/>\n<\/strong>My friends and I have recently gotten into axe-throwing. There is a place a couple of minutes away from campus called Fort Worth Axe Factory and it\u2019s a blast. One of my roommates actually bought an axe from the place and we\u2019ve started throwing it at a tree in our backyard. Aside from that, I really enjoy hosting movie nights at our house with a big group of people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":829,"template":"","class_list":["post-828","student_work","type-student_work","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","sw_category-film-television-and-digital-media"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>A Conversation with Jared Lemelin - Film, Television and Digital Media<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/schieffercollege.tcu.edu\/ftdm\/student_work\/a-conversation-with-jared-lemelin\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"A Conversation with Jared Lemelin - Film, Television and Digital Media\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Major: Film, Television and Digital Media Class: Junior Hometown: Rancho Cucamonga, California Why did you choose to major in film, television and digital media?
