Portfolio and interview advice
Applying for a place in 2019?
Before you come for interview you will be asked to send an online portfolio to show us your work. We would like to see:
- completed film or video works and / or works in progress
- other art work (for example, photography, drawing, installation)
- your ability to develop an idea from concept
- your potential to experiment and explore ideas and techniques
- any examples of written work (for example, a previous essay about film or art)
- awareness of contemporary artists’ moving image
- awareness of film history or art history.
We recommend using Tumblr to create a simple portfolio or blog and YouTube or Vimeo for embedding video. Please note that it is not a strict requirement to have previous film and video work at interview stage – we welcome any creative portfolio and an interest in exploring moving image in future works.
