<p>I have a script written but I may not have enough time to get it done on a reel. As in film it.
Any tips on format of script and things I should include? </p>
<p>Should I explain to the audience concepts and twists involved in the story? Or let them figure it out?</p>
<p>Also should I send in a storyboard along with my script? If I should how detailed should it be? Stick figures or as specific as possible? My artistic abilities go beyond stick figures so it's not a problem if I have to draw in detail.</p>
<p>I'm applying to Syracuse, NYU, BU, and Ithaca</p>
<p>Do I need to hand in more than one? Because as far as I can tell from the websites one will suffice. Unless i'm seeing things wrong.</p>
<p>Anyone know if Ithaca requires a video too? If they do could you please send me the link in their website that says so?</p>
<p>Also how big of an impact will my video put on admissions? Will it be weighed more than, for example, senior grades? </p>
<p>Thanks in advance for your help and opinions.</p>
<p>These are my opinions...I know little about film school.</p>
<p>It depends. If you are applying to film school, I suspect it would be a good idea, but if you cannot create something well done, then you will likely shoot yourself in the foot and it might be best to submit just the script. </p>
<p>If the script is well-written there should not be a need to explain anything. If it is poorly written, I guess you would need to, but in that case there's no reason to submit it whatsoever.</p>
<p>Why sell yourself short? Put your best foot forward, especially if you are not going to film it.</p>
<p>You should ask an admissions rep directly what is required. </p>
<p>Why don't you call Ithaca College and ask them?</p>
<p>Generally there is no formula for admissions. If you have a great script that might be your ticket. If you have top grades that might be your ticket. If you have both, great! Neither? You're probably sunk.</p>
<p>Put your best foot forward and that's that.</p>
<p>excellent description with examples:</p>

<p>If you have Microsoft Word, you can create your own script writing program if you know how to use styles and short-cut keys.</p>
<p>digmedia that link was a HUGE help. Thank you so much</p>
<p>it sucks you couldn't get a video in, but definately send in the story board if you have a good one. it's not good to overload schools with stuff but if you have that to go along with your script i think they'd appreciate it.</p>
