ABSTRACT

This study aims to explore the strategies and methods for cultivating practical skills in film and media education. Key strategies include: first, teachers should involve students in practical projects, such as film production or media planning, so that they can apply theoretical knowledge to practice and develop relevant technical and creative skills; second, schools should organize regular seminars and workshops, invite industry professionals to share their experiences, provide practical activities, and interact with students; third, learning should include field trips and internships, allowing students to experience industry operations first-hand and have opportunities to collaborate with professionals; fourth, schools should encourage teamwork projects involving film production or media work, cultivating teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills; fifth, teachers should allow students to showcase their work and provide regular feedback assessments, motivating students to apply the knowledge and skills they have learned to practical projects and continuously enhance their practical abilities and professional qualities. These strategies and methods effectively cultivate students' practical skills, laying a solid foundation for their future career development.
