USC SCA BFA Application procedure

<p>In the Cinematic Arts Supplemental Materials section of Freshman Application Procedure, it is given: An outline for a four-minute film that contains no dialogue. It can be fiction or non-fiction. The story has to be communicated visually.</p>

<p>Does it mean that the film should not have any dialogues or just that the outline should not contain any dialogues? Can I use sentences like- He told John why he was being chased?</p>

<p>The film has no dialogue. The imagery will carry the story. So think of it this way - you are creating the outline for a a 4 minute silent movie.</p>

<p>thank you. ok another question here. in my film, can the character have a look at some newspapers which tell about an oncoming event? and can there be a news reporter on tv announcing? some breaking news?</p>

<p>one more question: for the under 5 min film under visual option. does it have to be silent too?</p>

<p>another query regarding: An outline for a four-minute film that contains no dialogue. It can be fiction or non-fiction. The story has to be communicated visually. (no more than two pages)
can someone give me an short example of film outline? cant find outline for film anywhere. maybe i am not typing correctly.
also what should be the font, size of font and should the outline be double spaced, margins?
thanks in advance as this may be a stupid question.</p>

<p>

Not sure how we can be more clear. No dialogue means no dialogue. If you try to “cheat the margins” you’ll probably be rejected for not following the rules.</p>

<p>can the character have a look at some newspapers which tell about an oncoming event? also can you just give me link to some outlines for short film? look at my questions above</p>

<p>help?? sum1?</p>

<p>If you are asking others on here for help, and you can’t figure some of these things out on your own, you will not do well with admissions.</p>

<p>i just want to see how a film outline is supposed to look like. i have planned a story for the 4 minute film outline. i just want to know the format for outline.</p>

<p>Concur with @aunt bea. You really need to be more resourceful and read the website and follow instructions. It’s all there.</p>
