What’s the difference between film studies and creative writing?

: What’s the difference between film studies and creative writing?
As I look at the major courses for both it seems that I can take screen writing and film courses as my general major elective as a English major. When I choose a minor which can be creative writing or film studies, I’m having a hard time because I want to pursue a career as a screenwriter for film as a secondary job for myself, but wouldn’t Creative Writing help me with that?

Creative Writing would help with the writing aspect of your career, but focuses more on literature and the art of novel/short story writing and poetry than anything. I’m not so sure about film studies, but if I were you I’d fill my schedule with both writing and film courses.
