I love this concept, especially when you apply it to the college application process and how some of the “best” applications are those that focus on emotional trauma
@@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
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.
"my mother is a part of an oppressed minority group" LMAO I bet USC admissions officers either frowned or laughed at that one. Jokes aside, I loved watching this video, keep it up :)
@@sidneyasiegbu its important to acknowledge any hardships an applicant went thru. a rich kid who got a 90 average while getting the best tutors and best technology and a poor kid who got 90s while working part time to be able to afford his technology are not the same.
@@kikeheebchinkjigaboo6631 don't spread that negativity! im sure it is not all that terrible and yes having a plan b is important like minoring in business but don't be discouraging to current students, they need all the encouragement and hope they can get trust ?3 :)
Guys it would be really great if any of you could tell me if : as an international student, to get accepted in USC or UCLA, do you need to make short films????? Thank you!
I have come back to this video year after year. The concept of this film has never failed to inspire new story ideas in me every single time I watch it and am experiencing writer's block. I am truly grateful for this.

hey just wanted to let you know that this video genuinely inspired me and i love the entire premise and idea, this is so original!! i was wondering if you would be able to make a video talking about applying to schools and the kind of portfolios/applications colleges are looking for
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 :)
can someone in the comments please help me ... if i had bad grades the first two years of high school would that make me unqualified to attend a good film school or is it all just based and relied on my ability of making a film.
I didn't hope to get on USC, or something big, i just hope to get accepted at a local university film major, but i barely know anything abt videography bcos i'm more into photography before, can i ask how to start compiling a portofolio? I rlly need guide and i know no one from this major.... Please help....
How to get into USC films, how much money required for tution fee ? Why every one puts an short film for Film academy? Is there any exam for film school for ordinary student who are not affordable more money on film schools ? Please reply any one !!!!!!!
for the love of god PLEASE GET A GOOD SOUND DESIGNER/EDITOR - Like cmon its the easiest thing ever, jus atleast learn how to put a FADE IN and FADE OUT at the end of SFX - Jus a quick youtube to clean up the audio
This was definitely not entertaining... not sure where you were trying to pull me as a audience because I sure hells didn't want to follow how boring it is on the first 3 seconds of this video
The irony of the kid getting a cigarette bc his sibling died to lung cancer is pretty good

hey sorry quick question why the quotations around best lol im focusing on emotional trauma in my college apps too

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

It would be a good concept for a Black Mirror episode

I couldn't agree more

hm I don't know, prob cause that was unnecessary like is being "opressed" or party of a "minority" group going affect their decisions of picking you?
@@sidneyasiegbu yes it really does lol
@@user-pj5yc5rs8k keep feeding yourself with excuses for every failure in your life I guess.

I hate how quickly I picked up on the Canadian accent lol. Congrats on being accepted!! This was a really great short film
the ending tho!! Well done
honestly the best one i've seen so far aahhh I'm in love w the idea and the visuals
The sample of emotional tramua of the best issues of emotional trauma is a 4th structure in the brain that happen in the college application process.
This is terrific! Can i ask what camera you used? It is very nice
thanks! just a canon t4i and a 50mm lens
Way to kick ass with a t4i and 50mm
this concept is amazing!!! I would’ve never thought of something this interesting it really caught my attention!
this is the most fire thing ive ever seen in my entire life
Amazing! I have a question, during the application process, were you required to send in a film video that you’ve made during the application status?
ItsDilan yes it’s required
This was soo good omg. That's legitimately freaky lol but was such a good satire.

This is so interesting
I LOVE THIS!!!!

Awesome
What camera did you use for this?
Idk if this is a dumb question but if that's a real airport how were you able to shoot there?
this is incredible. the story is so so smart. may i ask what camera you used?
They used a canon rebel t4i, it’s in their “how I got into usc, ucla…” video
Hi Britney the TH-cam Algorithm brought me here ahaha this is so good
What camera and lenses were used :)

nice videobinch
wow so if you had the worst day ever you could buy a mansion?
Why is the audio dubbed?
I wonder why they did the audio in post-production then?
JazzFan222 it really took me out of the film, I wish they did a better job
JazzFan222 dubbing is mostly used because it allows for better audio quality, especially if the characters are moving and talking

How is life at USC?
