<p>I am applying for Film Production at USC for Fall 2011. USC's film school looks, above all, for those who are naturally creative and good storytellers/writers. What are my best options for who to get my third letter of recommendation from?</p>
<p>Letter 1: I'm getting this one from my Second Grade teacher who said I was the greatest writer she had ever seen in her 14 years of teaching up to that point. I'm getting this letter to show that I have been a good writer and passionate about creativity since I was a little kid, and that I am not just applying for film because it is a recent interest that "sounds cool."</p>
<p>Letter 2: This one is from a Film teacher I had (I got a high A in her class), and she says in her letter I am a great writer (she read one of my screenplays), and that I would be a great fit for film school.</p>
<p>For Letter 3, I either want to get it from my old guitar teacher, who I know could write an amazing letter about my dedication to music and how talented I was at playing guitar, or from another Film teacher I had who really enjoyed a film I directed and edited for a class project. I worry that 2 letters from Film teachers could be repetitive, but I also worry that having only one from a Film-related source might make USC unsure about me being a fit for their Film school. The guitar teacher letter, on the other hand, could show them how dedicated to my interests I am, and with the other letters, present a more well-rounded view of me.</p>
<p>What should I do? Guitar teacher, or second Film teacher?</p>
