Application Experience

UCLA Application Guide:


1. Applicants should have been exposed to any work related to mass media before they can apply for a master of arts in the direction of filmmaking. Because of this, the minimum requirement is naturally that they have been engaged in film, drama, art, music, art dance, radio and television and new media production, etc, People related to artistic creation or work should also have a year's work experience with related work. Of course, this master's degree should at least have a background of pure pedigree in the film discipline. There is one side in front, and the other side in the next. If you are an engineering man, you are lucky enough to have engaged in relevant work, such as the most unimpressive episode like Mr. Wang Han in those years, or the announcer in a small local radio station, with practical work experience, And at least one year's title can be said to have a certain degree of "life experience" compared with those born in pure courses.


2. The work should be as large as possible. It is better to draw 5 clothes on an A2 paper; Draw 5 sheets of A2 paper from one inspiration source; The inspiration source must be matched with your clothing design drawing (A2 paper), and pasted together with an A1 paper (for example, the above is the inspiration source drawing, and the following is your A2 design drawing); Don't roll or fold your works;


3. Personal introduction is not the key point. Remember that speaking with works is the first priority in the design industry. Teachers will pay great attention to the production process of the works collection, and should present it completely. It is better to give yourself plenty of time to do it, because the works collection requires more content.
