Probably been said already... but F grade is obviously going to be a big black mark and a red flag to any Uni admissions officer in the future.
That said, the way that F appears in the wide context in your transcript is still under your control.
If much of your other courses are C+ or lower, the F will appear like an exclamation mark or a clear sign of incompetence on a below-par transcript.
However, if you do well in the remaining courses of your degree (maintain high B to A grades) its more likely admission officers may give you the benefit of the doubt and request more information during any admission process as to why the F occurred. Don't get me wrong, the F will still appear terrible.... but it will at least allow the officers to see it potentially as an outlier in an above average transcript. Rather than them throwing out the application immediately, they'll at least seek more information first.
Furthermore, applications usually have a little place where you can explain any miscellaneous issue that you feel may hinder your admission chances.
