USC Writing Sample - How it should be formatted?

[kat.gaylord]

Hey so, for the USC SCA undergrad application, I am doing the 4 minute/2 pages non-dialogue film description for my writing sample, and I was wondering how it should be formatted? I was planning on formatting it like a screenplay, is this fine or should I aim to write it in a more prose/standard writing style? Thanks!

(here's the exact prompt from the SCA slide room: A description of 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))
