Q. So, I would like to know how to audition for SM, JYP, and YG. I already checked their official websites but I'm still confused on how to apply, as there are many ways to audition. I know for SM you can apply via email and post if you can't make it to the live auditions (global and open). But when people say online audition do they mean email audition? And to apply for global you can apply one of 3 ways: email, every sing, and online. But, are email auditions different than email applying for global auditions? And for JYP, I don't think they have global auditions, or am I wrong? The only way to apply is live in Seoul, online (only members can right?), or post, right? And YG why do they only have Global (last time I checked was in Thailand) and post! Do they have email (online auditions)? Thanks and I hope you can answer all my questions. Also,
1) Where does SM usually hold their global auditions?
2) Do you have to attach video file (dancing), MP3 file (singing), and photos? Or you can just attach two (like only photos and singing or only photos and dancing)?
I really need the answers badly because I'm planning to audition and missed out this year but hopefully will go in the future :). Wish me luck!!

2) of course you have to attach them all ! A photos of profile shot , side face , full body ,and side body , remember to remove your hair from face (if you have bangs) better to tie them up or use clip instead . For a photo , remember to not use scanned photos/cellphone camera/webcam ! Use digital camera / good camera for taking photos :)
For video dancing and singing i think it's ok to use webcam or anything else as long it has good quality and don't make your voice bad because of it's quality :(
And attach a video of you singing and dancing (singing max 2 min & dancing max 2 min too )
Don't forget to introduce yourself in the opening of video ! *Hello my name is__ I'm going to audition for __ now I'm gonna sing ___ by ___ and dancing to choreography dance/freestyle dance * just like that !
I'm gonna audition too soon after i losing some weight ! kekeke , wish your luck the best ! go for it !
How would I go about filming a documentary on my senior year?
Q. I'm about to enter my senior year of High School and I'd like to film the senior year of my friends and I from the last weeks of summer of 2013 till the day before we all leave for our respective universities. I've had this idea for quite some time but im not quite sure how to go about it like should i film in school? or could i even film in school? What aspects should i capture? If one of us mistakenly or purposely does something illegal could we get in trouble if it is on film?
I plan to show the film probably for our five year class reunion
Also, which would be the ideal camera for filming and what editing programs should I use. Any and all input is greatly appreciated!
A. If you really want to know how its done then just go out their and do it. That is really the best way to learn.
1:
It might cost you some money but if you go to Radio Shak (or shop around on the net) you could see about getting some sort of little camera that you can conceal like in your hat or something. I would suggest using two cameras at all times film your documentary, one that is concealed and one is a small handheld.
2:
When filming just be casual and relaxed don't act nervious or suspicous because this will draw unwanted attention to yourself. Just act normal, you are not really doing anything wrong anyway.
3:
The first thing you should think about is that you don't need to make a spectacle of the fact that you are making a documentary, the less people who know the less oppisition you will have from anyone.
4:
You don't even have to tell people right away (around or after graduation) because it will be more of a surprise to everyone when you show it for reunion.
5:
Your filming should focus on all of the fun things including your friends and teachers who are close to you. Don't forget to included yourself if you also want to be in your documentary, maybe have someone else take turns filming for you.
6:
Try and make people feel special and capture the special moments even for the social outcasts, just generailly try and make people feel good about themselves.
7:
Stay away from contraversial issues. don't film anything that would hurt anyone because this will just turn something good into something bad.
8:
You should film all the major events like dances, homecoming etc etc.
9:
When filming try and be within a reasonable range so that you get really good sound and picture quality.
10:
Be really mindful of the fact if you are moving around a lot, up and down etc. etc. then the video is going to be very shaky and no one likes watching shaky, bouncy, bad quality video.
Try and use a tripod whenever possible probably at like events.
11:
whatever footage you get you should upload it to your computer daily that way in case someone does attempt to keep you from filming a documentary you will still have some footage. YOU SHOULD SAVE AND UPLOAD THE FOOTAGE YOU GET ON A DAILY BASIS.
