HS Film Programs

Instructions

Writing

To assess your imagination, innovation, and story-telling as well as how you express your thoughts in writing, write and submit an original story that has a beginning, middle, and end (no more than 500 words) inspired by one of these photographs

There is no need to identify what photograph you selected - the photo you select should be evident from your story. It could be something that happened right before that photograph, after the photograph, or something else that the photograph inspires in you. This could be a story, script, screenplay, or something else that demonstrates your story-telling. 

Storyboard

To assess your cinematic vision, create and submit a nine (9)-frame storyboard for a scene from your imagination. A storyboard is a visual representation of a film sequence and breaks down the action into individual panels. It is a series of ordered drawings, with camera direction, dialogue, or other pertinent details. It sketches out how a video will unfold, shot by shot. Please see this template and these storyboard resources

Student Introduction

Upload a short video about yourself and your work. Your video should be no longer than three (3) minutes. 

• Discuss your storyboard - your choice of subject and why you chose the specific shots you did.

• Why are you interested in being a filmmaker?

Callbacks

Schools may invite you to “callbacks” for other school specific requirements. Schools may also invite students for live on-demand tasks. Do not be concerned if you are not invited for a callback. A callback does not mean acceptance or rejection.
