I am applying for Film Production in 2015 and have just started putting together a showreel. What are they meant to be like? I am not too sure whether to show completed films or short experiments.

I am also considering housing as the best option. Good Luck with your interviews!!

If you're interested my showreel is on YouTube as /watch?v=D9ijw_Ri4W8 but I just got rejected from AUB without an interview so I don't know how much help it will be. Good luck!

I applied to AUB 3 year film production degree a month ago and got an offer for the 4 year extended course (probably because I don't do Media or film studies at A level. I had the skill but not the experience). Just put the best parts of the short films you have made.

You should have more than just a showreel in your portfolio. You need a fotography folio, scripts, storyboards and maybe some drawings. they really like range and things you have done out of school.

I was there on the filmmaking sumer course this year and the place is great, but I heard that they are going to close the halls at AUB and open bigger ad new ones at BU.

I think it took me a bit under a week to get an interview from then. When did you send off your ucas application?

I haven't heard from them for 3 weeks too. I sent them my portfolio somewhere about 2-6 of January. I keep telling myself they just want to see other applicants but I am wondering as I am an international, if they don't turn me down, will they invite my THERE or it will be just a phone interview...

I am wondering if the deadline for portfolio submission mattets. It was March for me and I hope I will get their reply SOON, not in March... :/

I've got interviews and offers back from all but AUB :frown:

AUB is the only uni I want to go to and I'm applying for Film Prod. I am just worried that I haven't heard back from them. If I get rejected it will feel ****ty but I'm going to take a year out and just film.

Hey guys, I have also applied for Film Production at AUB with a 4 year course. Just curious how many of you went for the 4 year alternative? I am also a bit concerned because I haven't hear back from them at all, and I really want to go there. Another question that i have is what should I put in my portfolio? What is a good number of things to put in? For example, how many films/scripts/storyboards/etc??

I am really concerned, I can barely sleep at night!

Hey Alen,

I don't think there really is a correct number but in my opinion you shouldn't bring to much as what they really want from your portfolio is an insight into who you are and what you are willing to do. You need to be able to talk about what you bring and explain how it makes you different from what others have done. Even if your film making isn't the best or the camera quality is shoddy you need to go into an interview confidently and make it clear this isn't any where near what you want to achieve and that this is only the beginning and that your willing to work extremely hard and have high aspirations. We are 17 and 18 year old and we are going to do this course to learn.Obviously you must have some skill but they are not looking for down right skill rather a hunger to do well and evidence that you have actively been learning film making in your own time :smile:
