TIPS ON HOW TO MAKE YOUR APPLICATION STAND OUT
Video:
·
One - two minutes is not a strict requirement, merely a strong suggestion. If you can entertain and
engage us longer, go for it, but be reasonable. No tapes longer than five minutes.
·
Make your tape as lively and interesting as possible. Remember, the Channel One staff members
making the selections will be looking at over a thousand tapes.
·
VHS format tapes only. No small format tapes, please.
·
Pay special attention to sound quality. Is the audio on? Can you be heard clearly?
·
Show high energy and enthusiasm.
·
Have fun and let your personality show through!
·
Use several shots and several different camera angles.
·
Do not stand in front of a window.
·
Do not read us something from a sheet of paper.
·
Edit your tape.
·
Watch your tape. Did you follow these tips?
·
Rewind your tape before you send it.
Letter:
·
Make us notice you!
·
Please type letters.
·
Letters should be free of typographical errors, incorrect grammar and spelling errors.
·
Be creative in how you address us in your letter. No "Dear Sir(s)."
General:
·
Label everything correctly.
·
Include your letter with your tape -- do not send them in separate envelopes.
·
Make sure your presentation is clean and neat.
·
Your letter and tape should portray different qualities. Use the tape to portray personality and
creativity. Use the letter to demonstrate experience.
·
You do not need to send your package via express mail. Your submission need only be postmarked by
the deadline.
