I keep thinking I should just find some free media studies courses or something.

But then it's like... do I want to put in that much work for a writing project that might never eventuate and it's fanfiction anyway? (Because I don't really see myself doing much else with it, I don't feel like I have the consistent energy to do media reactions or blogging or whatever.)

But, if it's a free course at least it's only a time cost. I don't know if media studies usually covers identifying cinematographic techniques though.
