媒体制作

Each year, the MFS program participates in  Visual and Performing Arts Scholarship Day to allow prospective students the opportunity to compete for the various financial awards offered by the division. 媒体 and 电影研究奖学金 are awarded on the basis of a portfolio and an interview with each participant. This year's event will be on February 8, 2020. 

作品集包括两个项目:

1. 电影/媒体样本(i.e., 电影, 纪录片, 视频的文章, 数字艺术, 音乐视频, 播客, 新词, 编辑摄影作品集, 无线电广播, 虚拟现实)  or 写作创意短片 故事/剧本样本.
2. 以下是书面声明  一个 以下2个提示(200-400字):
   • What is a major project you would like to achieve and how would you do it? or
   • What would you do with a completely free day?

Writing samples, the written statement, and links to video files should be emailed to Dr. Champion in advance of VPA Scholarship Day. Students should upload portfolio video files to Vimeo, YouTube, 谷歌驱动, DropBox, 或者其他一些常见的在线网站. There is no time limit on the media samples submitted, but we will likely only review the first 10 minutes of content.

Students should also bring hard copies/flash drives of portfolio items for VPA Scholarship Day.

During VPA Scholarship Day, students will get a tour of the 澳门新葡京官网 campus and MFS facilities. MFS faculty will conduct short interviews with prospective students, and each student will have an opportunity to give a 5-minute pitch for a creative project.

If you have any questions about the requirements, please contact Dr. 泰迪·钱皮恩 (电子邮件保护).
