Loyola Marymount University (Film & TV Production) - ACCEPTED
USC - WAITLISTED
CSLB - ACCEPTED
CSUN - ACCEPTED
CSLA - ACCEPTED
A teen faces a difficult decision of whether or not he can sacrifice one day of studying to do what he loves, his passion of photography.
This film was created for the Dodge College at Chapman University Fall 2022 application. I am applying as a Film Production major.
The prompt: Without the use of dialogue or voice over, make a film that is less than two minutes long about a character making a difficult and dramatic decision. Show that the character is pulled in two different directions at an emotional level, visualize their process of consideration, and show that they make a decision.
It is important to follow all directions for this piece and create something that demonstrates the prompt correctly. Pieces submitted that to not follow directions (for example ones that include dialogue, are longer than 2 minutes, or do not follow the prompt) could affect how this part of your application is reviewed.

WATCH FILM FULLSCREEN FOR CINEMATIC EFFECT! Note: I wasn't able to upload the actual version of the film due to a copyrighted song I used at the end. I replaced it with an instrumental version of the same song. If you want to listen for the actual version then start playing this song kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqjVeaqQrquBba8 at 1:12. The prompt: Without the use of dialogue or voice over, make a film that is less than two minutes long about a character making a difficult and dramatic decision. Show that the character is pulled in two different directions at an emotional level, visualize their process of consideration, and show that they make a decision.

Awesome job Rachel! Each shot & camera angle were so unique in a way and showed a sense of purpose and meaning in their own way which was amazing to see!! 😀 Good luck with the competition, I know they will accept this amazing piece!! 🙌🏽

Hopefully haha, thank you! Something I’ve learned from some of the best directors is every shot has to have a purpose. :)
