Candidates applying for the directing major should be a "generalist" to a certain extent. They should be exposed to and learn as much knowledge as possible, and improve their artistic accomplishments, so as to give full play to the complementary and mutually reinforcing role of multiple knowledges.

03 Documentary Review

If film review is the focus of the director examination, then documentary film review is the top priority in the film review examination. The biggest feature of documentaries is documentary nature. The nature of documentaries should be the restoration of objective material reality. In the creation of documentaries, we focus on reflecting the narrative structure without human control, adhering to the documentary nature of documentaries, and do not exclude the possibility of possessing other attributes, such as artistry, political commentary, literature and philosophy. They are all subject to documentary and are expressed through documentary.

No matter what the series of attributes reflected in this movie are, the premise must be true.

It does not necessarily have to be very specialized, but it must be broad. It is important to accumulate knowledge about current affairs and politics. Television directors belong to the broad category of news communication, so practitioners must have certain political and news sensitivity as well as the ability to judge and evaluate current affairs.

For those who are new to directing, how to get started and how to plan? Next, the art examination community will tell you about the six steps of learning the directing profession. I hope that students will be inspired!

01 Director of the Art Examination, clear goals and reasonable planning

Many students are irrational when choosing a major, or have obtained incomplete application information, and it is easy to make wrong choices. As more and more candidates take the directing and directing arts exams, the number of recruiting schools has also increased. However, the overall competition among prestigious directing and directing schools has become increasingly fierce.

If high school students are determined to take the directing exam after understanding the major of directing, there is nothing wrong with preparing early. However, many students have poor self-control or are not good at arranging time. The prime time that should have been used to lay the foundation for the college entrance examination cultural courses has been delayed, which is putting the cart before the horse.

In recent years, the requirements for cultural courses in directing majors have become higher and higher. The cultural courses of prestigious universities such as Communication University of China clearly require that they be above the first level of local cultural courses. Therefore, cultural courses can never be ignored. .

02 The directing art test is targeted and sticks to the end

The directing major is different from performance and music, which is more professional and pays more attention to the candidates' comprehensive artistic accumulation. Therefore, directing candidates need to develop the habit of accumulation. The plan should not be timed, but quantitative (set daily tasks and complete them on time).

The plan is divided into general plan, installment plan and daily plan. From the time you start studying directing to the time before the exam, how much time do you have to prepare for the directing exam, and how many times should you read each book? This is the overall plan. How long it takes to read each book and in what period of time is the installment plan. How many pages of various editing and directing art examination reference books should be read every day? This is a daily plan.

All three are indispensable. The daily plan can be changed, but the installment plan must not be completed or delayed, otherwise you will find that the tasks are piling up and your plan will be completely disrupted. , at this time you are confused again, asking everywhere how to start and where to start learning. Everyone's situation is different. If you don't have a study plan at this time or the plan has been disrupted.

03 Strive for excellence in the editing and directing art test and not be deceived

Reading a good book 5 times is better than reading 5 good books once! A month before the exam, many people buy a few or even a dozen books and simply fail to read them all or simply filter them. This will not play the role of reference books.

Reading should be done early. For the director's art exam, basic knowledge is really important. A lot of basic knowledge is accumulated through daily reading, rather than sharpening one's skills in the field. Regarding which books editing students should read, we can divide them into two categories: one is knowledge expansion, and the other is exam-oriented reference materials.

In the knowledge expansion category, you can buy some movies related to learn about the history of movies, movie analysis, and film and TV shooting and production.

What needs special attention is that nowadays, there is a lot of chaos in the director art examination training institutions, especially in the second and third tier cities. There are basically no formal institutions. Most of them are businessmen who aim to make money and have no regard for the director art examination. Any research belongs to the layman. It is recommended that candidates keep their eyes open and take the initiative in choosing an institution.

04 Find the right method and make good use of skills

Literary and artistic knowledge: lay a solid foundation, be good at summarizing, and learn to systematically recite and memorize various knowledge points, whether it is literary knowledge or artistic knowledge, they There must be a system and classification. For example, literature can be classified according to ancient literature and modern literature; film and television art can be classified according to film art and television art. If we classify these knowledge points, systematic memory can easily solve the problem of poor memory and easy forgetting.

Analysis of film and television works: You must know the angle from which to analyze film and television works, what type of film and television works are better analyzed from which angle, what angles of analysis you are best at, find the right angle, and don’t make some low-level mistakes Wrong, it is not difficult to write a good analysis of film and television works.

Story writing: Practice based on mastering the story theory. Even if you don’t know the theoretical basis, you should know that the basic criterion for judging the quality of a story is to be attractive. Think about the movies, TV series, and novels you have watched. See how others tell stories, you must be good at learning from them, and your story expression skills must be well trained.

Interview: The subjects of the interview include self-introduction, impromptu comments, and answering the examiner’s questions. Talent show, etc. There are not too many colleges and universities that take talent show exams. The most important thing to pay attention to in order to be successful in an interview is your temperament, including the temperament in speaking, standing, and smiling. You must make your aura strong and confident. More importantly, you must pay attention to practice your face more often. Be thick-skinned, a little thicker still.

05 The Director and Director Art Examination lays a solid foundation and never gives up

The Director and Director College Entrance Examination is an exam for high school students. It is a basic test. The purpose of the exam is to see your career in film and television media. Do you have potential in your studies and can you develop yourself into an excellent film and television talent?

So the most important thing we need to focus on in our studies is the basics, including the basics of writing, literature, film and television, and expression. These most basic abilities must be improved. Once you have the foundation, you have strength.

Nowadays, some students or parents do not improve their basic abilities before the exam, but always think of taking back doors and shortcuts. Some students want to know the questions before the exam, and some want to know the examiner who will interview them. In order to find connections, I think these students have made a fatal mistake: opportunism. No matter when, strength is the most important thing, and whoever studies seriously and hard will do well in the exam.

It’s not that you don’t have confidence because you can’t do it, but that you can’t do it because you don’t have confidence. Not many people can understand this sentence. In fact, the director's art test is not difficult. What is difficult is how to believe that you have the absolute ability to succeed. This is a common problem among many students. They are already timid before taking the exam, and failure will only happen sooner or later.

06 Director Art Examination: Keep your mentality stable, start well and finish well

Director Art candidates should pay more attention to the admissions information of various art schools, and clearly understand the admissions requirements of the schools they apply for? The art test tests one's perseverance. You have to persevere. Although it can't be the same every day, it can't be only three days of enthusiasm! It is important to have enough courage to make bold choices and enough energy to cope.

Since you have chosen the path of writing and directing art exams, you should have confidence and perseverance and not be intimidated by temporary difficulties! Maintain a stable mentality and use the knowledge you have learned to submit a satisfactory answer!
