•
Questioning: Show your creative process. Include sketches, drafts, or experiments that demonstrate how you developed your ideas. Don’t shy away from showing incomplete work – this can highlight your thought process. You can annotate your portfolio to explain what you were thinking and what you learned.
•
Curiosity: Include work that reflects what inspires you, whether it’s nature, books, films, or cartoons. You can also mention influences in your captions or annotations. This shows how you engage with the world and turn inspiration into creativity.
•
Technical Ability: Highlight your skills, whether it’s photography, filming, drawing, or editing. Even if your work isn’t “professional,” focus on how it communicates a story or idea. You can also explain what tools or methods you used, like combining photos into a collage or editing a short video.
•
Enthusiasm: Show your passion for filmmaking by including diverse and personal work. This could be experimenting with a script, making a short montage, or even capturing candid moments. Let your excitement for storytelling shine through!
1.
An Edited 3-Minute Video:
2.
If you have short clips or projects, compile them into a 3-minute video and upload it to a platform like YouTube or Vimeo. Ensure the video reflects storytelling, composition, and your perspective.
3.
Keep the original audio (no music overlay) and list your role in creating the video (e.g., director, editor).
4.
A Digital Portfolio (15–20 Pages):
•
Use your nature photos to show your eye for composition.
•
Turn your videos into a storyboard or mood board, explaining how you sequenced the images to tell a story.
•
Annotate your drawings to explain their connection to character or scene design.
•
Structure Your Work: Use a clear layout with captions or short descriptions for each piece. This can explain what the work represents, your process, and how it connects to filmmaking.
•
Combine Mediums: You don’t need to stick to one medium. Kingston encourages showing versatility, so combining photography, video clips, and sketches is a great approach.
•
Ground Your Work in Research: Mention how books, films, or other media have influenced your work. This reflects curiosity and helps bridge the gap between your pieces and filmmaking.
•
Use a PDF Format: If submitting a portfolio, combine your work into a PDF with working links to any videos or external sources.
•
Beginner-Friendly Editing Tools: For video clips, use tools like iMovie or Adobe Premiere Rush.
•
Portfolio Platforms: You can use Wix, Behance, or Adobe Portfolio to create a polished digital submission.
