School of Cinematic Arts Applicants (Film and TV)

<p>Hey, so I am dying to see other people's visual sample that they created. I am hoping we could give each other comments and constructive criticism. </p>

<p>Mine could be found here:
HERE</a> FOR YOU - USC SCA Visual Sample (Fall 2013) - YouTube</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>I really liked your film! Especially the sound overlay at the beginning. </p>

<p>Best of luck!</p>

<p>Would you mind posting your stats and if you got a scholarship? Or did your acceptance to USC and SCA come without any scholarship?</p>

<p>By the way, I liked your film! Congrats! :)</p>

<p>Did you get in? I got into the Critical Studies Major, but might make a film for transfer to production (or just for fun :D).</p>

<p>I was accepted into production.</p>

<p>@GiveMeReason did you get into critical studies this year? For fall 2013? Or are you already at usc? Either way congrats!</p>

<p>I got into the Critical Studies Program, which shocked me. People would classify me as a much more traditional CCer, but I have always loved film (I started a Film Society at my school) and I wrote my IB Extended Essay on Film.</p>

<p>@GiveMeReason Thats so awesome! Congrats! Could I ask what your academic stats were? Im praying I get in come march :)</p>

<p>I haven’t been accepted yet, just sharing :slight_smile:
I’m praying that I’ll get accepted though. 54 of 1100 applicants are accepted so I’m kinda freaking out.</p>

<p>Hey guys, I’ve been accepted to the production program.
For those who are curious, here is my visual sample: [Descent</a> - YouTube](<a href=“Descent - YouTube”>Descent - YouTube)</p>

<p>Filmwalker, congrats! Would you mind posting a link to your visual sample?</p>

<p>anar136- I don’t really want to post it on a public forum, but I emailed you the link.</p>

<p>I loved your video “Descent.” There was a lot of great cinematography and I loved the end.</p>

<p>anar136. Wow! Great short! It reminded me a bit of inception, with the use of cinematography to trick the audience into seeing paradoxes. The introduction of the weird was also great, taking a seemingly routine video turning it upside down.</p>

<p>Honestly, I am a bit jealous. I need to grab my t2i and do something :P</p>

<p>anar136,
I think the cinematography is great! Professional looking. As for the story, I liked it a lot except I think the ending was a tiny bit flat. Very awesome though! Congrats! I hope I get to join you next year.</p>

<p>Agreed anar136! If anyone deserves a scholarship and acceptance it’s definitely you with your stats and video!! Congrats again, hope we can all be lucky enough to meet each other next year :)</p>

<p>anar136, I really liked your film, it was very original. Congrats on your acceptance! hopefully I’ll join you next year.</p>

<p>Seabasstian, your film was very good too. I liked the story! Good luck!! </p>

<p>Mine: [“A</a> Purpose” - USC School of Cinematic Arts Visual Sample - YouTube](<a href=“- YouTube”>- YouTube)
It was my first film ever so don’t expect too much.</p>

<p>Good luck to everyone! :)</p>

<p>alialae,</p>

<p>Thank you :slight_smile:
I REALLY liked the story of your video. Great meaning also. I’m praying we’ll all get in!</p>

<p>Thanks everyone, glad you liked it.
Hope I get to meet all of you next year!</p>

<p>Alialae, loved the concept and message of your video. Also liked the use of black&white vs. color</p>

<p>Thanks guys! I’m really glad you liked it! :)</p>

<p>just wondering but are there any girls applying to Film and Production program this year??</p>

<p>coffeebeann- I’m a girl, so I know there is at least one. :wink: But in all honesty, I am assuming there are many young women who have applied this year. The School of Cinematic Arts undergrad population is 41% female and 59% male. Hopefully we will increase our percentage this year!</p>
