    [Screenwriting] What are you guys doing about this "Creative Portfolio List"? I'm sure I can't be the only one who has never had anything published or produced. (If you have, obviously, you'd put that stuff down.) I have written (completed) a handful of novel-length manuscripts, should I put...

    Cinematography Portfolio

    I am working on my portfolio for Film/Art School, specifically focused on Cinematography, but I'm not sure what to do.

    Do I have a chance if my portfolio is good?

    I hope to apply to the Dramatic Writing program at NYU and I think my portfolio is strong. I have a 4.2 GPA, but my SAT 1 was average (1770) with a math score of only 500. The CR was 620 and 650 for writing. I am a good student, and I can do well on tests; just not standardized tests. Also...

    External Music in Visual Portfolio?

    What are your opinions on the possibility of utilizing external musical sources within a visual portfolio? The music would obviously be credited. I don't think this would be a problem considering I'm not taking credit for making the music and further not incurring any revenue. A visual...
