I came across an example from previous years and it was pretty much a full plot summary explaining hoe each event in the film led to the next. It only followed the protagonist's story though no side plots or anything.Hey guys! How's everyone's application holding up?
I was just wondering if anyone is doing the feature length concept here, and if anyone has an idea on how specific the concept should be? Do we need to be able to discuss the entire plot (say, be able to each major event in each act), or can we generally say what each act covers?
Anyway, we have a couple more days, so I hope we all turn in a good application!
Not the first time. Don't worry. It's been a common issue over the years. I mentioned it in this article:Guess who just noticed a typo in their writing sample.... Both Google and many out-loud readings to other people didn't catch it![]()
Some thoughts on these changes you mention:It's coming! I was a bit surprised when I got an email letting me know that they added a video-component. There seem to be so many changes from last year:
- new video component
- can add up to 5 references now
- collaboration questions are now non-film situations
Never mind, I just got the email. Set up a youSC account too. And now that I see that "Decision Status" link sitting on that page, ugh... this is gonna be a long slog. LolHey guys! Glad I found this forum. I submitted my application Friday night (just before the deadline) and received confirmation. In my confirmation email it said to expect another email with my 10-digit USC ID within 48-72 hours. Did everyone actually receive their USC ID within that timeframe? I have yet to receive anything.
Thanks and good luck to everyone!![]()
I'd say you're more than fine. You're correct in that they don't specify any length so you're definitely not guilty of "not following directions." 3 pages is quite a lot though, sure makes me feel inadequate lolI'm also applying to USC! Does anyone know how long the Creative Portfolio List can be? There isn't a minimum or maximum stated on the prompt. So far mine is 3 pages, is that okay?
High school? Are you applying to undergrad or grad? This thread is for grad applications, lolI'm listing every single project I've done over the photo, film, and art courses I've taken at my high school for my creative portfolio. Is this recommended or should I just list only the "important" projects?
There's an undergrad Screenwriting thread but I don't think there's a production thread yet.High school? Are you applying to undergrad or grad? This thread is for grad applications, lol
Even if he's in high school his question is valid and the grad thread is much more active.High school? Are you applying to undergrad or grad? This thread is for grad applications, lol
I'd just list anything that is your favorite and anything that you'd show them without hesitation.I'm listing every single project I've done over the photo, film, and art courses I've taken at my high school for my creative portfolio.

Oh yeah I wasn't trying to discourage him or anything. I was just worried he'd be getting wrong deadlines/app material information thinking we were all applying to the same program!Even if he's in high school his question is valid and the grad thread is much more active.
