You need to figure out what aspect of film you think you have a talent for. There are 2 types of film schools, one teaches the "art" side more than the technical side. The other teaches more technical side (the use of camera, editing, etc) but only touches on the art. I went to Emerson College for Film. I mostly studied Film Criticism, Screenwriting and the "art" and "business" side of filmmaking. Although we did use cameras and edited both on a flatbed and on a computer (this was late 90s), the focus was on art. But if you go to a school like Full Sail, they focus on the technical. You do have classes on the art, but that is not the main instruction. Either school allows you to make your own short films. In the end you have to decide if you want to be a cinematographer / editor or a director / writer.
