徐明瀚老師在系上任教電影學概論，本身就是電影與藝術評論人，常常可見其文章身影出現在各雜誌裡頭，趁著電影開演前要來「講評」自己心目中的輔仁大學大眾傳播學系。

很多人會問，讀了大學對於未來就業到底有什麼幫助，尤其在影像創作這個圈子裡，徐明瀚說，「電影，是集合的學門、是綜合型的藝術，更是綜合型的商業文化產品。」在輔大有全面的學習環境，除了有系上的資源，還有歷史悠久的電影社，圖書館的影片藏量更是豐富。擁有豐沛的學習資源外，輔大有眾多的系所林立，選課上可以互相支援，滿足電影產業裡各個需要的技能。

在影音創作領域的教學，徐明瀚說，除了基本的術科邏輯（拍片、剪接、收音等）系所的老師對於理論有所研究，很多老師也擁有業界實戰經驗。有別於操作性的學習，特別在文化領域研究上深入，培養獨立且批判思考的能力。

而談到系上的學習氣氛，大傳系很特別，有些學生都擁有不少工作歷練。徐明瀚說，在有實務經驗下，彼此可以交流切磋、互相學習。他更表示，許多系上的課程都要團隊協力，因此歡迎懂得分工合作、願意表達自己想法的同學來就讀。

作為一個電影人，徐明瀚推薦國內外各一部電影供大家品嘗。2002年的國片《雙瞳》，在美國電影公司的協助下，電影團隊跨國製作，好萊塢的經驗更培育了不少後來的電影從業人員，例如戴立忍、魏德聖等，也一舉拿下當年國片票房冠軍； 2016年伍迪艾倫導演的《咖啡．愛情》，用愛情作為包裝，裏頭裝滿對故鄉的熱愛、產業的觀察，更有家庭社會關懷。拍電影就是說故事，可以參考大導演是怎麼向大家說故事的。

Austin Hsu

Austin Hsu teaches film theory in the program. As an art and film critic, his articles can be found in a broad spectrum of magazines. Mr. Hsu took the time to speak with us about his thoughts and views on the program.

Many people ask what sort of help a university education provides in finding a job, particularly in a sphere such as film making. Mr. Hsu says, “Movies are the craft of bringing people together; they are multi-faceted art form and a commercialized cultural product.” Besides program resources and a first-rate learning environment, Fu Jen also has a long-standing film club and a diverse collection of films housed in campus libraries. In addition to these learning resources, the fact that there are programs on campus in virtually any subject means that students enjoy many course options to enhance their education and develop the skills and competencies required for personal success in the film industry.

In the realm of audiovisual production, Mr. Hsu says that besides the basics of filming, editing, and sound production, faculty members are well-informed on theory and have rich experience within industry. Students get much more than technical know-how – the deep focus on cultural research also get students to foster more robust critical thinking skills.

The program’s environment is also unique in that many students already possess a fair bit of work experience. Mr. Hsu notes that with such practical experience, students have more to share and learn from one another. Courses in the curriculum require teamwork, so students who know how to delegate work, cooperate, and aren’t afraid of expressing their thoughts are particular welcome to join.

As a film critic, Mr. Hsu recommends two movies. The first, Double Vision, was a domestic Taiwanese movie from 2002, produced in partnership with Columbia Pictures. The international production team, combined with Hollywood experience, served to produce lots of local talent for the film industry, such as Leon Dai and Wei Te-sheng. Double Vision was the highest grossing domestic film that year. The other recommendation is the Woody Allen directed Café Society from 2016. While packaged as a love story, the film is imbued with love for one’s hometown, offers an up-close view of the film industry, and displays concern for the family and wider community. Filming is telling a story, and you can learn story-telling techniques from the great directors.
