A quick definition of scènes à faire:

Term: SCÈNES À FAIRE

Definition: Scènes à faire refers to scenes or elements that are considered standard or necessary in a particular genre or type of story. These are often clichés or tropes that are expected by audiences and are therefore included in many works of fiction. For example, in a romantic comedy, there may be a scene where the two main characters have a misunderstanding and break up, only to reconcile later in the story. While these scenes may be predictable, they are often included because they are familiar to audiences and help to establish the genre or type of story being told.

A more thorough explanation:

Scènes à faire is a French term used in the entertainment industry to describe scenes that are so common or expected in a particular genre that they cannot be protected by copyright. These scenes are considered to be part of the "stock" of elements that make up a particular type of story, and are therefore not subject to copyright protection.

Some examples of scènes à faire include:

  • A car chase in an action movie
  • A love triangle in a romantic comedy
  • A final showdown between the hero and the villain in a Western

These scenes are so common in their respective genres that they are considered to be part of the "language" of those genres. As a result, they cannot be protected by copyright, and can be freely used by any writer or filmmaker working in those genres.

For example, if a writer wanted to create a new action movie, they would be free to include a car chase scene without worrying about infringing on anyone else's copyright. Similarly, a filmmaker making a Western could include a final showdown between the hero and the villain without fear of being sued for copyright infringement.

I have no idea why people have so much beef w berkeley's app
I've been reading a bit about "herding," which is this idea that pollsters are making the race look tied so they look right no matter who wins.

Like... it's a more involved app but you don't have to do it? They're clearly trying to have some self-selection go on
I 100% agree with the self selection, I also am not even close to touching the medians there. However I think the huge PS plus the video and especially the very specific criteria for the why Berkeley essay is pretty crazy
I'm curious, how bold can one be in those videos? Is it worth making a satirical Jason Statham-action short if the adcoms have no sense of humor?
the more risk you take the higher chance of it backfiring
my instinct would be low humor bc if they have such a complex application I would feel hesitant to use a major part of it as a joke. They clearly take their admissions seriously and a joke video might convey the wrong thing at the wrong time. I think that humor is best put into a PS anecdote where it adds some shine to your personality
safe is always better
All good points

@TheAdoptedOne: amazing
I almost did one for Vanderbilt and my idea was to do a documentary-style vid where I and others talked about me like it was an ESPN 30 for 30.

I was risky in maybe one or two of my essays in that some parts read as slightly humorous, but I really tried to suss out the vibe for each school. I feel like Berk and UMich may be more accommodating of a more "out there" approach than other schools I applied to

but that's literally just going off vibes
it looks like Berk vid is in response to a known prompt. My thinking is it may be a counter to AI by getting people to have to respond to what is essentially an essay prompt but on video
"I think really it’s more the USNWR change that emphasizes employment outcomes in school rankings. Schools want to admit people who have the skills to be more likely to land great jobs even more than before, and being a good interviewer is a very important for that. They want to see you have the soft skills." from a reddit comment

One funny thing when talking to lawyers at work is that they will always say how they wish more law schools had interviews to make sure you can like... talk to people and form sentences
