      @@mirandawatters9105 nothing bad. Just means that if you have some sort of major emotional trauma, you have something to write about. While others who don't really have a problem have to try and find something they struggled with. I think essays written around those topics tend to be the "best" or viewed as the strongest essays by colleges

      Yeah some people believe that if they write about their trauma or something sad or emotional about being a minority then they’ll get pity and accepted

      While I do agree with the idea that past/current trauma or suffering is becoming more and more of a free pass. And the feelings of frustration caused by when those around you are treated better as a result of your lack of "suffering," I think to say that the things that these people are/have been through hasn't majorly impacted their life decisions and who they are as people is wrong (their life experience define their character). It's just one of those things where problems arise from a system that is unintentionally flawed instead of anyone doing anything wrong.
      It's one of those kafkaesque problem where you can't really do anything about it. It's a system meant to care and tend to people who go through something unfortunate, yet causes people to be effected negatively by it.

    I think a lot of people, including myself, tend to get caught up in the technical aspects of film making. Things like the camera quality, lighting, etc. instead of actually focusing on the actual storytelling elements of a film. This was one of only a handful a film applications that I have seen that actually told a real good and interesting story. Sure, some of the technical areas could be worked on, but the overall story was great! Other applications that I've seen seem to really focus on the visual aspects and the story is very weak. I love this short film, because it helps me remember why I love film so much. Nothing is better than telling a great story, and you hit the nail on the head.

    • @anoura8463
      @anoura8463 11 месяцев назад

      It’s for a film application to USC, which is a very competitive school for filmmaking. You need to submit additional portfolio samples and essay responses in addition to the regular essay prompts to get into the film program at USC (and at most top film programs).
      USC accepts a small amount of students into their film school, so as a point of reference for future applicants these “accepted” videos show the standard that should be met in their application in order to gain admission. Hope that helps :)
