Audition Videos
On the reality show Survivor, contestants send in audition videos depicting why they have what it takes to survive. First watch some of the examples below then in your journal you will write a 250 to 500 word written commentary/application in essay form telling why you have what it takes. Think about your experiences, give us examples to back up your statements. Scoring will be based on creativity, content, and writing skills.
From your journal you will create a transcript for your video. You may choose to film at home or in class or a little of both. Video scoring will be based on: creativity, content, aesthetics, and following directions.
Survivor Casting Video Instructions:
Videos should be no longer than 2–5 minutes in length.
If you choose to follow the survivor theme for this project we want to get to know who you are as a person. Be Yourself! How will your life experience help you win the game? How will you interact with the other tribe members? When describing yourself, remember to cite real life examples. We all love a good story! If you have unique talents or hobbies, talk about them or how they may help you do well on Survivor. Please show us YOUR WORLD, use pictures, take us on a tour, have fun with this!!
If you choose to follow the scholarship project idea for this project you must explore an idea or academic area of interest to reveal something you are passionate about. While your project should reveal something you are passionate about, you should not be the project's main focus or subject.
Lighting Tips
- If shooting indoors, make sure to shoot in a well lit room with lights in front of you to light your face.
- Avoid shooting in front of a window with bright sunlight streaming in, this will cause silhouetting.
- When shooting outdoors, avoid shooting with the sun directly behind you, this will also cause silhouetting.
- Shoot during the day so we can see you instead of trying to see you in the dark.
Audio Tips
- Speak loudly and clearly
- Find a relatively quiet area to shoot your video so ambient noises won’t distract from what you’re saying.
- If shooting indoors, avoid shooting in loud and crowded rooms where your voice will be drowned out by other people.
- If shooting outdoors, avoid shooting in loud areas and when it’s windy. The wind will distort the microphone.
Camera Tips
- Your video will be shown on a TV. Please shoot your video like you would see it on a TV. Please shoot landscape (horizontal) and not portrait (vertical) style.
