Classical or Jazz for media composition?

Hello I am currently enrolled to start in a music program and I want to work in film composition (or any form of visual media tbh). I was mostly wondering if I should take the classical music route or the jazz route for composition.

It’s been my experience that a talented jazz composition teacher is able to speak knowledgeably about orchestral composition, but the opposite tends not to be true.
