<p>How do I create a "creative resume" for the film schools I want to apply to? I haven't made any movies or written any scripts, and the ones I have written are weak to say the least. What do I do? It's not like I have a filmmaking kit at home. What do they expect me to put on my resume? I don't act. My school doesn't have any film-related stuff. </p>
<p>The Creative Resume is something that they use to determine if you are the right kind of personality for their program. They want to see if you are creative. They want to see that you are involved in the arts. They want to see if you are a storyteller. They want to see that you can work in a collaborative environment. So, you can list anything that will show them these things. Examples:
Dance lessons.
Volunteering in an arts program.
That you play the guitar and write music.
That you took a photography course.
That you were a member of your school’s AV team.
That you painted sets for your school play.
That you did improv
That you write poetry</p>
<p>you can still make films without a good camera. infact if you are able to show initiative by making a film on an iphone that turns out good, and is edited well, your creativity and artistic abilities might be valued even higher. also you can submit a screenplay. writing an epic screen play with a good story can be just as good as a short film. and so you haven’t written any scripts? then write one! im sure you have lots of ideas since you want to go to film school!</p>
<p>Yes I agree wholeheartedly… write and shoot.</p>
<p>Also, when you get a chance check out my forums over at FilmSchool.org (<a href=“http://www.filmschool.org/”>http://www.filmschool.org/</a>) as there a ton of film school applicants with the same questions you have there that could help you out even more.</p>
