Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs for Portfolio Submission

Any restriction on the content of the portfolio? Can I include indecent content (e.g. Category III materials according to the HK Film Classification System)?

There is no restriction on the content of the portfolio. All applicants should provide an explanation on the material they put into their portfolios.

I have many creative projects which cannot be condensed into 10 pages. What should I do?

Be selective and choose the best works that represent you. Excessive pages may not be reviewed by the panel. Please also refer to the instructions on portfolio submission for details. 

How do I put my works such as video, audio, games or programming inside a PDF?

Audio/video contents must be uploaded to on-line video sharing web sites such as YouTube, Vimeo. A maximum of 5 hyperlinks are permitted in the PDF file. Please ensure all the hyperlinks can be accessed by the public. SCM will review only your PDF file submitted on the online portfolio system. Please also refer to the instructions on portfolio submission for details. 

My creative works e.g. screenplay/scripts, story board, video, science project, etc. are produced in Chinese (or use Cantonese for the narration). What should I do?

Portfolio should be prepared in English. In case your works are in other non-English languages, you should supplement your portfolio with, whichever appropriate, English sub-title, caption, abstract, etc. to facilitate the review by SCM. Please also refer to the instructions on portfolio submission for details. 

My video works are more than 5 minutes long. Can I submit the full video instead of re-edit them?

SCM reserves the right of NOT reviewing the contents beyond the first 5 minutes of the hyperlinked audio/video files. However, online platforms like Youtube/Vimeo provide tools for users to start playing a video at specific timecode. Please also refer to the instructions on portfolio submission for details. 

My creative works are related to one medium (e.g. programming) only. Is that ok?

Yes. The aim of the portfolio is to demonstrate your creativity and you can present your works via one medium or more.

Some of my creative works are group projects. Can I put them into my portfolio?

Yes. You should indicate the number of members involved in the project, the position and percentage of your workload for the project. Please also refer to the instructions on portfolio submission for details. 

If I am not satisfied with my submitted portfolio, can I re-submit another one through the System?

Yes, you can. Please do so before the specified portfolio submission deadline. The System will, at any time, retain the latest uploaded portfolio only. The obsolete ones are instantly removed from the System. Please ensure you have uploaded the correct file by checking the link given in the System after the uploading. Please also refer to the instructions on portfolio submission for details. 

Is there any tips in preparing a portfolio?

Please refer to the SCM’s website for short videos on experience/tips in preparing a portfolio.
