Media Arts Application Interview Instructions and Films

An important part of the Media Arts Program Application is the interview with the faculty. Interviews are held the week after the application due date. Before the interview, applicants are required to select and watch one of the approved films from the list below. In your interview, applicants will be asked to identify the theme of the film they watched and explain what creative choices the filmmaker used to communicate that theme. The interview will last only 4-5 minutes, so answers will need to be brief.

These films can be accessed at the Media Center in the Harold B. Lee Library (HBLL) on BYU Campus. Some of these films may also be accessed from different online streaming sites such as those listed below. As a film student, you will be expected to watch a large number of films throughout your time in the program, so being familiar with, or having a subscription to some of these services is crucial.
