2. Exam preparation experience
My goal in the college entrance examination was the Shanghai Theater Academy, but because of the failure of the college entrance examination, I was not admitted to my ideal university as I wished, and the examination and research made me see hope again. But when I saw the high professional books on the table, I instantly lost confidence, and I didn't know where to start and when I would finish them. A friend recommended the Kaoyan Cheese Agency to me, after the institution learned of my situation, according to my learning status to help me develop an exclusive study plan, but also helped me match to the sister of the onshore department to conduct one-on-one tutoring for me, the sister of the professional bibliography, tutoring materials, past real questions, question style and other important information have been provided to me, saving me the time to find discernment information, painstakingly exploring the style of the real exam, is the key to my success ashore.
First, let's talk about 614: Fundamentals of Film and Television
2021 Exam 614 True Questions
Essay Questions (5*30=150)
1. Chinese film entertainment films since the reform and opening up.
2. The aesthetic characteristics of the American film The Shawshank Redemption.
3. Representative of the New German Film Movement, representing works and aesthetic characteristics.
4. Narrative characteristics of Chinese family-themed TV series.
5. The influence of anti-Japanese war documentaries on Domestic and foreign countries during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in China.
From the real questions, it is not difficult for us to see the scope and direction of the 614 investigation, which mainly examines the aesthetic characteristics of classic films in the history of Chinese and foreign films, the development characteristics of Chinese films and documentaries at a certain stage of development, and the representative figures, representative works and aesthetic characteristics of a certain film school.
From this, we can lock in the "History of Chinese Cinema", "History of Foreign Cinema", and "History of World Cinema" as the key reading lists.
It is recommended to memorize these reference books at least twice from March to August. The contents of these bibliographies are long and cumbersome, and they are very difficult to remember. Sorting out special topics, drawing knowledge maps, and keyword memory methods are all very useful methods that Xuejie told me.
Thematic sorting method: It can be a content induction method, that is, films with similar content are sorted into a special topic, urban films, rural films, films from the reform and opening up period, films from the founding period of new China, and so on. Topics can also be divided according to film genres, such as: fifth generation directors, Impressionism, and so on. This memory facilitates the rapid positioning of knowledge points.
Drawing knowledge map method: You can comb the knowledge framework according to the table of contents, first list the large framework, and then embed the small frame in it. Knowledge maps can help you clarify your thinking, and you can directly hold the knowledge maps and recite them in the later stage, without holding thick professional books.
Keyword memory method: you can use points to connect into lines and then connect into segments of memory. For example, Zhang Yimou → the fifth generation of directors→ "The Red Lantern Hangs High" and "Ju Dou" → colors and compositions.
These memorization methods will help you remember better, memorizing the key bibliography several times. As the saying goes: read a book a hundred times to see its own righteousness. Only when you read more books can you still have God in your next pen.
This professional course is not only a dead chew on professional books, but also requires a large amount of film and television viewing accumulation, if there is no large amount of viewing, it is difficult to pass the exam.
List of moviegoers released by the Shanghai Theater Academy (only a small part was intercepted)
As can be seen from the list, the Shanghai Theater Academy mainly examines classic Chinese and foreign films, these films have very important significance in terms of the director's shooting methods and in their artistic depth, so these films must be watched again, have a certain impression of their storylines and characters, it is recommended that everyone ensure that they watch a film a day, and take notes, including but not limited to the aesthetic characteristics of the film, the director's shooting methods, storyline settings, etc.
Some films due to the age, may not be very easy to find resources, it is recommended that you can search from B station, teacup fox and other websites to watch.
Second, 916: Basics of Radio and Television Programming.
True question analysis
I. Essay Questions (30 points per question, 60 points in total)
1. Briefly analyze the similarities and differences between tv series and column editing and directing.
2. Under the boom of network broadcasting, how can choreographers create cultural and humanistic works?
II. Analysis of works (45 points per question, a total of 90 points)
1. Choose one of the following TV programs and analyze the artistic characteristics of the TV program. "China Geographical Names Conference", "National Treasures", "Classic Songs"
2. iQIYI launched the Mist Theater to analyze the creative characteristics of the choreographer. (Choose one of the following examples) "The Hidden Corner", "Very Witnessed", "In the Doom", "Ten Day Game", "Silent Truth"
The number of questions examined is not large, but the score is very high. The examination question type involves the reserve of basic theoretical knowledge related to television choreographers and directors, as well as the relevant research contents of aesthetics, communication studies, and humanistic thought. Focus on examining candidates' attention and understanding of film and television hotspots (variety shows, TV series, web dramas). From the real questions, we can see that whether it is "National Treasure", "Classic Aria Circulation", or "The Hidden Corner" and "The Silent Truth" are all popular TV dramas and variety shows. This requires that when reviewing, candidates cannot ignore the outside of the window and read only the books of the sages. Always pay attention to the recent hit TV series and variety shows.
I will focus on the answering skills of professional course two.
One sentence synopsis. First summarize the storyline of the film and television work in a short sentence, the word count is not too much, about 300 to 500 words can be.
Analyze the characters and structure of the work. The most important thing about a work is its storyline and character relationships, and its contradictions and conflicts and character characteristics can be deeply analyzed according to the content of each work. The structure of the film is complex, with genres such as interludes and flashbacks, which can also be analyzed.
Analyze the unique audiovisual language of the work. It can be analyzed from the perspectives of color, light and shadow, sound, composition, scenery, modeling, clothing and so on.
Analyze the theme of the work. A film, especially a better one, usually has one or two themes. Some works have very clear themes, while some themes are very hazy, which needs to be identified by candidates, and can be analyzed from the theme.
Summary: Whether it is 614 or 916, the film and television works have been examined, and there is a lot of room for self-play. Here's a practical way to do this – to read academic papers. Log on to CNKI to query and download high-quality papers related to film and television works, see from which angle the author started to analyze film and television works, refine their central views, and accumulate and integrate them into their own knowledge.
Hands-on photo questions, there is time to rely on the brain to think that the effect is not very good, you only write with a pen, you know which places are not clear, in order to achieve the effect of checking and filling in the gaps. When answering the questions, be clear, the handwriting should be neat, and pay attention to the control of time.

Riding the wind and waves will sometimes hang directly on the clouds and sails to the sea. Graduate school is a difficult and lonely process, and you have to fight not only against hundreds of opponents, but also against yourself. You're learning when others are eating, drinking, and having fun; you're learning when others are looking for a job; you're learning when others are busy in a relationship. Since you have chosen this road, then grit your teeth and persevere, but also adjust your mentality in time, combine work and leisure, rest appropriately, and the review effect will be better. Finally, I hope that everyone can successfully go ashore and win a successful battle.
