Absolutely. The more you can educate yourself the better. It’s a vocational skill. If you wanted to be a Plumber, you’d go apprentice with somebody.
It’s a unique format. You’ll learn things like how you start a scene at the last possible minute and end it at the first opportunity. You don’t need to see the guy park the car, walk up to the house, and go into the house. He can pull up in front of the house and then you can cut to him in the middle of a conversation in the living room.
And you understand what happened in between. You learn rules like that if you take classes.
