I am a junior, can I go to the director department of Beijing Film Academy? What are the requirements?

The feature film direction of the director department is the major with the largest number of applicants over the years. Note that none of them has topped the list for years in a row.

The content of the exam mainly includes two aspects, including 80 points for film theory and 70 points for drama. In the last two years, film theory has given you 40 multiple-choice questions.

The title of this film director's play is different from the previous one. It used to be in the same direction as the feature film, but the titles in front of it were the same last year, except for the titles of the following plays.

But in retrospect, there is no difference between the two directions.

After reading the reference books, you may still be confused. Let's look at the scope of the exam.

Examination scope

As we said at the beginning, the whole exam includes film theory and drama. Let's see:

Film theory

Film theory multiple-choice questions section

Compulsory test 1: whoever wins the prize this year must take the test;

Mandatory test 2: If a famous director or actor dies this year, you must take the test;

Mandatory test 3: films or directors with strong topics released this year must be tested;

Mandatory test 4: this year's hot industrial events must be tested;

Mandatory test 5: The characters involved in this year's hot gossip must be tested.

In fact, none of the books on film theory will talk about the above compulsory exams, and they all rely on their usual accumulation and reading magazines.

The following are some of the contents of other exams:

HKCEE 1: Famous Chinese and foreign directors

Exam 2: Film Terminology

HKCEE 3: Film Festival

Test 4: Post-film Operation Method

Irregular examination: art history

These can still be sorted out in books.

Next is the script.

drama

Part of the play seems relatively simple, mainly in the following forms:

Form 1: synopsis of the story;

Form 2: movie clips;

Form 3: character analysis;

Form four: the script at the beginning and end;

Form five: the appearance of the characters;

Form 6: Views on dramatic materials and concepts.

Wait, these forms.

These forms are basically learned in the process of learning to write scripts, so don't worry too much.

Of course, in the face of such horrible content of the director's department, we have also produced relevant materials, including the hot topic "books without film theory can be talked about" mentioned by Bian Xiao just now. What is it like? Let's look down

reference data

Many students have got this set of information, but they may not know how to use it. Let's talk about how to use it. Students who haven't bought it yet can consult Chase to buy it.

Film theory part: including domestic famous directors and theories, foreign famous directors and theories, director creation-photography creation part, film editing. These four materials have covered the relevant contents of the film theory part that can be involved in the exam. So, do these three materials include those hot spots?

Obviously not! In order to avoid this embarrassing thing, this year we also adopt the method of updating information step by step, and gradually send the updated electronic hot spots to the students' mailboxes. Therefore, please be sure to "pay attention to the mail" when purchasing. If there are no comments, you can add the information teacher WeChat CAISIEDUkaoyan to get it. Due to the epidemic, the world film market was almost empty in the first half of the year. We will send it to you gradually after the hot spots come out. Please be patient.

Drama part: the structural analysis of the film script, the director's drama-characterization method, and the director's creation-film and television works writing part. These three materials complement the students' scripts from the perspectives of script structure, characters and writing skills.

Other parts: summary of real questions over the years (2004~2020). In fact, the scope of the director's examination mentioned by Bian Xiao just now is largely summed up from the real questions over the years. Of course, after students get the real questions, especially the drama department, they don't know how to write them or how to write them. You can also add the information teacher WeChat CAISIEDUkaoyan, and the information teacher will provide the teacher's email address for script modification. If you have any questions in the future, you can ask the teacher directly in the mailbox. Of course, this service is also free!

Ok, I'm here to analyze the director's feature film, script and the content of the later director. If in doubt, please consult Chase for postgraduate study.
