    Section BDirections: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter.Film SchoolA) Film schools and film directing schools provide aspiring film students with a solid understanding of the many facets of the film industry. While graduating from one of the many top film schools or film directing schools does not ensure a film school graduate success in the film industry, it certainly increases the odds in his or her favor. The film industry is becoming much more competitive and graduates of film schools or film directing schools have more doors opened to them because of their film school or film directing school diploma or degree. Because if you want to graduate from one of the many film schools and film directing schools, you require lots of time and money, you'd better make sure that film school or film directing school is, in fact, the option that will best help you reach your film career goals.Choosing the Film School Program That Is Right for YouB) The film industry is a lucrative, multi-faceted one. Depending on what part of film production and movie making you would like to learn, there is a film school or film directing school for you. Top film schools and film directing schools are located all over the United States, and choosing the right one can often prove very difficult to a prospective film student.Researching Film School OptionsC) Due to the increasing demand of film-related jobs, film schools have been increasing in number. However, not all of these film schools issue film degrees or film diplomas that are taken seriously in the film industry. To be sure that you avoid attending one of these film schools, make sure you do plenty of research on the film school. Some questions you may want to ask yourself are:-Has this film school or film directing school been around for a while?-Is this film school or film directing school affiliated with a major university?-Does this film school have the credentials to back up its program?-Have this film school’s teachers worked in the industry?D) If the answer to many of these questions is no, you may want to consider another film school. Well established film schools that have been around for a long time are generally taken more seriously in the film industry. The film students of film schools affiliated with major universities are also more widely accepted. As a prospective film student, you want your film school teachers to have had experience in the film industry. If not, how can you expect to learn from them how to break into the film industry? The film school’s credentials are very important. Some film schools give degrees that are almost worthless in the film industry. Make sure that the film school that you choose is one that is respected in the film industry.Film School LocationE) Another factor in choosing a film school is location. If you would like to remain closer to home, then check the film schools in your area. Many of the most acclaimed film schools are located in New York and in Los Angeles, as they are the two major film centers in the United States. You may want to choose a film school in one of these or another major city, because it will give you a chance to be close to the film industry. This opens up more opportunities for you to get a film-related internship or job.Film School That Meet Your Career NeedsF) Depending on what branch of film most interests you, you will want to select a film school with a degree/program that will aid you in your particular field of interest.G) There are three major types of film schools. Industry film schools are film schools that prepare you for a career in Hollywood and teach you how to go about selling your movie ideas to producers. An independent film school will help you if you want to produce major films outside of the Hollywood system. An experimental film school does not teach the financial and business side of film, but focuses on the artistic side of film.Film School Degrees vs. Film School DiplomasH) Another very important factor when choosing a film school is knowing what the film schools offer you upon graduation. Some film schools will offer a degree, and some will offer a diploma upon completion of the course, but no degree. That is not to say that the programs are not recognized by the film industry, however. Many of the film degrees available are MFA (Master of Fine Arts) Degrees. To be considered for admission into a film school program of this nature, you must already have an undergraduate degree.I) If possible, visit the film schools or film directing schools you are seriously considering attending. Make sure that you like the campus, city, and program they have to offer. You are given many options when looking for a film school. Make sure you choose the one that is right for you.Applying to Film SchoolJ) When applying to a film school or a number of film schools, you will be asked to provide them with various items to demonstrate your ability as a filmmaker and prospective film school student. You may want to start early accumulating things that will look impressive in order to be admitted to your first choice.Preparing Your Film School RésuméK) The first item you will be asked to submit will be a résumé. In addition to the things you would put on any college application, you will want to focus on certain things. Many film schools look for students with advanced writing skills. Taking writing classes will give you an edge. Acting and theater-related classes will also help you, especially if you hope to specialize in directing during your film school career. Directing requires you to be able to relate and effectively communicate with the actors you are working with. Also, be sure to include any previous movie production experience you have, if any.Making an Application Film for Film SchoolL) The other, equally important thing that a film school will want to see is a sample movie. Film schools want to see you in action. They want to see an example of your film production abilities. If you don't have a video camera yourself, try to borrow one from a friend. The movie should not be very long. It should probably be between 5 and 10 minutes. Make multiple movies. Watch them with others and have them give you feedback. Your films will get progressively better as you gain more experience. With this information in mind, you may want to take different extra-curricular film programs and attend film camps to give yourself an extra edge in the competition for film school admission.Other Requirements for Film School ApplicationsM) Some film schools may ask for other things, including a screenplay, other example of your writing, an animation storyboard, or photographs. Much of it depends on the individual film schools, and what area of film you want to enter. For example, if you wanted to enter animation, you would most likely need to send your prospective film school drawings. Be sure to check the admission requirements for your specific film school.11. To select a right film school is not an easy thing for a future film student.12. Film schools have been increasing in number and not all of them could award film degrees.13. Whether this film school's teachers worked in the industry or not should be considered while choosing a good film school.14. A film school should be confirmed to be honored in the film industry before one choose it.15. If he or she wants to produce an artistic film to learn the nonfinancial side of film, one should choose experimental film school.16. New York and Los Angeles are the two major film centers in the United States.17. Besides the résumé, a sample movie is also the important material one should prepare to apply for a film school.18. One should have others watch the sample films and get more experience in order to enhance competitiveness.19. In addition to a résumé which is asked to submit, one should own advanced writing skills.20. You would most likely need to send your prospective film school drawings, if you wanted to enter animation.
