The best way for a film student to obtain permission from the copyright holders for using clips from popular movies in their final project would be to contact the production company associated with the movie and apply for a license. In some cases, they may provide access to these kinds of materials without needing additional permission or fees, or may be able to offer discounted rates if you meet certain criteria such as educational institution or student status. Depending on the material, it might also be possible to find licensed music or footage from stock sites; however, you should always ensure that any materials used are properly sourced and have necessary permissions before inclusion in your final project.

The best way for you to obtain permission from the copyright holders for using clips from popular movies in your film is to contact the copyright holder or a local licensing agent. You can search online for contact information for each individual clip, or you may choose to obtain a license through an aggregator site that offers blanket licenses at bulk rates. You should also check what kind of exceptions and limitations may apply to your use under the Copyright Act.
