What content does the postgraduate entrance examination on film creation theory and history of the China Film Culture Institute of Beijing Film Academy test?

Sister Na would like to remind everyone that the catalog of admissions majors has changed in 2018. Art Theory and Creative Direction Business Course 2 has been changed from Art Criticism in 2017 to Art History and Theory. The direction of film creation theory and history has been changed to this year’s Chinese and foreign film history and theory, and business course two has also been changed from the original overview of film culture and creation to Chinese and foreign film history and theory. The changes in the test direction and subjects mean that students who are preparing for the China Academy of Film Culture in 2018 must make corresponding adjustments in their review. They cannot prepare according to the previous methods and scope. It is best to find graduate students at the target institution to learn from. Sister, seek help, learn about the most authoritative review materials, grasp the correct review direction, know the correct ideas for answering questions, understand the intentions and preferences of the teacher who set the questions, and coupled with your own efforts, you will be able to prepare for the 2018 exam with perfect success.

Candidates who are planning to apply for the examination must prepare early and prepare scientifically for the examination.

2. Judging from the data of previous years, in the preliminary examination of the postgraduate entrance examination, the score difference between the public *** course was small, and the score difference between the two professional courses was large, and the score line for the professional courses of the Film School was very high. If you want to enter the re-examination, you must obtain higher scores in the two professional course exams. In the review and preparation for professional courses, understanding the "information" and "directions" of the postgraduate entrance examinations of the admissions colleges is far more important than the simple investment of time and energy.

The re-examination generally adopts the difference re-examination. form. Taking the 2017 admission list as a reference, the minimum admission score for art theory and creativity is 360 points, which is 25 points higher than the national level. For candidates who want to take the Nortel major in 2018, the initial test score is based on passing the national level. The score should be at least 15-20 points higher than the national score. Of course, the higher the score, the greater the advantage. If you want to get high scores, you can consult Sister Na from Haixiang Think Tank Education

Frequently Asked Questions and Answers about Applying to Beijing Film Academy

What is the difference between a professional master’s degree and an academic master’s degree? Which is easier?

Answer: Professional master’s degrees focus more on practice, while academic master’s degrees focus more on theoretical research. The two cannot simply be compared as to which one is easier and which one is more difficult. It is difficult to get into the graduate school of film school. When choosing a major and academic field, you also need to consider your future study direction, whether you would rather do more practice or more theory. However, in recent years, there has not been much difference in teaching between professional master's degrees and academic master's degrees in some departments.

What are the specific test subjects?

Answer: 1***4: Politics, English, Major 1, Major 2.

Major 1, Introduction to Art, is a compulsory subject for all students who are admitted to film schools;

Major 2 is a professional question independently developed by each school (department) (for example, film and television exams Students majoring in production management will take the subject of production management in their second major, and students taking the directing major in their second major will take the subject of directing).

What are the exam times and locations for Major 1 and 2?

Answer: The time is the unified examination time across the country. The examination location can only be at Beijing Film Academy. Beijing Film Academy is the only examination center in the country. You have to come to Beijing for on-site confirmation!

Can students whose undergraduate degree is not in a film-related major take the postgraduate entrance examination across majors?

Answer: Yes, Beijing Film Academy treats all students equally regardless of whether they have undergraduate degrees from the school or not, and all students can apply for Beijing Film Academy graduate studies.

Do graduate students applying for film school need to have works?

Answer: In theory, it is necessary, especially for students who apply for the directing department and the photography department. If they have works, they will get a lot of extra points. However, if you apply for other departments, whether you have works or not will not affect the exam results (acting) Department candidates please write for consultation).

What are the exam scope and reference books for Major 1?

Answer: Major 1 focuses on examining the candidates’ artistic quality and film foundation. Therefore, in addition to the few books provided on the official website, it would be better if you can read more books on literature, history and philosophy. .

Does the undergraduate school generally affect the admission to film school?

Answer: No, the preliminary examination and re-examination of the film school are conducted strictly in accordance with the regulations of the country and the school. If you are not a film school student or a film major with an undergraduate degree, you will definitely be admitted if you get top marks in the preliminary and re-examinations.

How long does review usually take?

Answer: First of all, the length of review time varies from person to person. Some people prepare early, and some seniors who skip the exam even start reviewing after October. As far as the members of our team are concerned, the earliest review is from April and the latest review is at the end of September, but the results are the same. Our team has developed different courses for students with different review durations (for example, if you are a freshman or sophomore who wants to prepare earlier, our team has specially launched a long-term review course.) For details of the courses, please contact us. (QQ: 3475330763? WeChat: 15210260594? QQ group: 626212807)

I am very confused about which department to apply for. I like the popular ones, but the competition pressure is too great. How to choose?

Answer: First of all, you need to know that the overall competition in film schools is very high. No matter which department you choose, you need to work hard. After all, there is only one professional film school in China. Secondly, when it comes to choosing a department, we advocate the principles of “taking the plunge” and “settling for the second best”. The so-called "bravely taking the plunge" requires every candidate to have a firm belief. Since you have decided to take the film school, don't worry, just work hard. Use your troubled time to watch movies, maybe the next great director in China will be you. The "second best" is for those candidates who took part in the "World War II" and "Three Stations". We know that the postgraduate entrance examinations are stressful (academic examinations, family, finance, etc.), so we will advise and help you choose the one that is relatively easy. The professional examination is based on "passing the examination".

Does this course include re-examination?

Answer: Not included. Most of the courses are only for the preliminary exam, and there are separate interview training courses for the re-examination. The key point for the re-examination is to know that the only way to "pass" is accurate teacher guidance + one's own efforts. There are no shortcuts on the road to art.

Because there are too many postgraduate entrance examination institutions for online scammers, how can you prove your professionalism?

Answer: Our company address: Room 807, Floor 8, Building B, Jinma Building, No. 38 Xueqing Road, Haidian District, Beijing. Students and parents are welcome to come to the company for on-the-spot inspections, tea, consultation, and chat~

p>

What did you do after you went to film school?

Answer: "Then why do you want to go to film school?" The answer is already clear. Of course, you can consult your senior fellow students regarding the specific two- to three-year plan arrangements for postgraduate students and employment prospects after graduation.

The management department I applied for, can I work in screenwriting in the future?

Answer: why not? Art is the job with the lowest threshold and the highest threshold. As long as you can tell a good story, you have the potential to be a screenwriter.

Neither National Teacher Zhang nor Section Chief Jia are from the directing department. Film is a comprehensive art. Film school teaches you "how to eat", but in the end "what to eat" is up to you!

Do I need to read books other than those recommended on the official website? Afraid of not taking the exam and wasting time.

Answer: As long as you are reading, it is not a waste of time! You can prioritize and read the recommended books first. Secondly, it is necessary to read more books to expand your knowledge. If you only know how to read, you won't be able to make a movie, even if you pass the preliminary examination. During the re-examination, as soon as you open your mouth, the teacher will know how much each student weighs. So I still need to read more.

What should you pay attention to when choosing a tutor?

Answer: Please consult (QQ: 3475330763? WeChat: 15210260594? QQ group: 626212807).

Is there any information to share after signing up for the course? What information is it?

Answer: Yes. We have exclusive first-hand information to share with every candidate.
