Here are the requirements for this application component at USC :. Please submit one of the two visual samples. It is essential that you specify what role s you have played in your visual sample.
Basically, you're required to submit one visual sample, which can be either a video or series of photographs. Here's my strong recommendation: do not choose the photo option unless you're applying for a photography degree program.
I repeat: do not do the photo option. I have never met a person accepted to film school that chose this option. By contrast, I have met people who applied with the photo option and did not get in. While I don't know why the photo option doesn't seem to work well for admission, I have a couple of theories.
You're applying to film school to be a storyteller. In your application, film schools want to see the types of stories you want to tell. From just eight photographs, though, it's difficult to tell a complete story and one that fits into a film genre like comedy.
Simply put, telling a narrative or portraying a unique character is extremely difficult to do through photos. By opting for the photo option, you essentially disadvantage yourself since other applicants can tell a full story and really reveal their storytelling skills in a five-minute video.
If you care at all about getting into film school, you'll take the time to throw a video together. As with the writing sample, the video sample should capture a different side of you or genre of storytelling that interests you. USC also lets you submit a video you had a major role in e.
USC wants to see your storytelling style, and if you didn't have a major role in the work as a writer or director , it might be hard to see your influence on the final product. I didn't have a video to submit for film school, so I wrote and directed something. My friends acted in it, and a friend with a camera filmed and edited it.
Here it is for your viewing pleasure:. Star-Crossed Trekkies. Objectively, it's amateurish, but I managed to tell a sweet story that demonstrated my interest in comedy. While I wrote about the McDonagh brothers in my personal statement and composed a WWII period piece for my writing sample, my video sample—a comedy about trekkies trying online dating—was completely different. The bottom line? Show an interest in multiple aspects of storytelling in your application!
The final piece of your application to film school is the creative portfolio list. Below is how USC describes this application component :. The portfolio list is a written record of the applicant's creative materials. It should include a concise description of each project, the month and year the project was completed, the applicant's creative role and the purpose of the project. The material, which does not need to be film- or television-related, should give an idea of the range and depth of the applicant's creative ability.
Formal recognition—such as awards, publications, jobs and exhibitions—should be noted. The name of the institution or publication should be included when listing creative materials prepared for a class or publication. Basically, you're creating an artistic resume. USC offers examples of what kinds of projects an applicant might include in her list as well as how it should be formatted:. July , A Day in the Life, digital video, 12 minutes. A documentary on a homeless Iraq vet who has lived on the streets since his return from the military.
March , Doorways, a series of 5 black-and-white photographs. Position: photographer. February , Cellomorphosis , short story. Kedon Slovis and Dart threw two touchdown passes apiece while splitting time behind center for the Trojans in a sharing plan set up by Williams, who apparently didn't tell Slovis or most of the rest of the USC offense about his intentions before the game. Not to take away from Jaxson. He's a great player, but you want to know why.
Anthony Pandy returned an interception 37 yards for a touchdown on a pass by Slovis early in the second half for Arizona , , which lost to USC for the ninth straight time despite a strong rally from a point halftime deficit.
We need to continue to battle, and I think we're taking steps. Will Plummer, who passed for yards, rushed for a yard TD with to play. Arizona hit two field goals later in the fourth quarter, but Calen Bullock recovered an onside kick with left to seal USC's win. Tayvian Cunningham caught an early yard touchdown pass for the Wildcats, who scored at least 20 points for the first time in 11 games since last Nov.
