Big Arts Week 24 hour Film Challenge in association with Digital Guerrilla Filmmakers

 

 

 

We have been thinking of ways in which unmatched schools can still be involved in Big Arts Week and feel a part of the celebration and think we may have come up with a challenge for you and this is to make a short 3 minute film during Big Arts Week as your project.

We are offering you the chance to take part in the...

Big Arts Week 24 hour Film Challenge .    

 

How it works

All you need is:

•  Access to a Digital Video Camera – we realise that not all schools will have this equipment but are confident that some parents at the school may be willing to lend you theirs for the week.
•  A Computer
•  Access to an e-mail address – there are set themes that will be sent to you by e-mail on the morning of 21 st June 2004 to give everyone an equal timeframe for the week.
•  Some budding filmmaking pupils
•  A supportive member of staff

 

The challenge is for a random selection of interested pupils (at least 6) from the school to make a short film of 3 minutes.   The film needs to be completed during Big Arts Week from idea to final film.   The film can be in any style but themes will be given.

 

There may even be the option of having a film director from the Director’s Guild come and support your efforts.

 

We will be providing every school that participates in the challenge some free editing software, courtesy of ULEAD, as we realise that this may be the hardest item to source.

This initiative is being supported by Digital Guerilla Filmmakers, ULEAD, The Directors Guild of Great Britain and Becta.   Through this partnership we can offer a wealth of prizes for a selection of the films which will be judged by the partnership, which include:

 

•  editing software
•  regional screenings of short listed films
•  an expenses paid trip to a London Screening for the overall winning film team + their parents
•  entry to the prestigious BECTA Creativity in Digital Media Awards 2005  

 

If your school is interested and you want to find out more please send an e-mail to info@bigartsweek.com titled ‘Film Challenge’ and we will send you all the relevant information and entry to the challenge.  

If you would like to discuss this further then please contact the team on 020 7654 0023.

We hope you’re up for the challenge.
