If we ask you to submit a portfolio, you will need to provide the following :

An engaging showreel with a duration of 2-4 minutes that contains your skills and work. Please only include your best work

It is beneficial if you show a passion for the television industry and can exhibit material that has been made by you outside of what is required for your formal studies.
