Nothing quite as intense hahaha, I suppose it's no longer that stressful for me.

...I do abuse my f5 key sometimes though.

Not dreaming but I have been thinking that I should have also applied for Screenwriting come to think about it but you know there's no point dwelling I guess. We'll hear back any day now I think

Got date for producing interview next week, and info about the compulsory workshop if I get through that round...wonder how that will work, with social distancing?

I think that they will host it over zoom somehow as international people (like myself) are still unable to fly over to the UK...

Applied for MA Editing, got a call for the interview. As an international student, mine's email said the interview and the workshop might be hosted via Zoom as well.

Did any of you who applied to DF check their Vimeo Analytics to see if someone from NFTS saw your short? They watched mine last wednesday, but still no email.

They watched mine on Thursday. No email

How many unique viewers did you get? Or any downloads? Im worried that this was just the first watch and we still have to wait for the rest of the committee for another 3 weeks...

Oh - is it meant to be downloadable? I didn't see that written anywhere in the application guidelines. I even asked admissions and they didn't respond to that question.
I disabled download cause I wanted to see if they would be watching it.
I had one view at the admissions stage - then received an email saying it had gone to selection.
I have 2 views on Thursday. One from the vimeo link and one from an 'unknown' source ... which is strange as I provided the vimeo link so no idea what that's about.

Also how many members of the committee have to watch it? Surely a few editing / producing people who have analytics and are invited to interviews would know this - how many views did you guys have before being asked to interview?

I wasn't sure myself, but they downloaded it after they watched it... I wouldn't worry about it, I bet they just downloaded it for their convenience.
As for the "unknown" source - I think NFTS has some sort of admissions system, to which the committee logs in and can review our applications there.

I got two views from two different viewers too. I assumed that all 3 co-heads of directing would watch it, but maybe two is enough. God knows how many are at the interview... Also did they watch yours 100% through?

I only have vimeo plus so I don't see in depth analytics. I can't see when each view played too and the admin team only watched the first minute to make sure it worked I think.

Did they for you? it's good they downloaded it! That must mean they want it for later.

Ha love this in depth analysis. I reckon we'll know end of this week or next

You guys all get two views?! I only got one from two weeks ago I think I'm done. The viewer watched my 24-minute short 100% through though, maybe there is hope, I don't know

Oh there is definitely hope! The unknown thing might have been fluke - as in maybe they tried to go through the uni site and it didn't work so they had to watch on the vimeo link. I can't see what the view rate was so it might have been a detour to watching it.

Did they download it? Is that a thing?

Yeah maybe you are right. Thanks for lighting my hopes up haha.

Unfortunately they didn't download my video. But I wouldn't worry too much about that since, as you said, it wasn't mentioned in the guideline

 

[avap1]

has anyone heard anything for screenwriting?

In total I have three - 1 view of 1% from 2 weeks ago and 2 views of 98% from Wednesday. But honestly after talking to you guys here, I understand their system even less.
