Lights!
Canberra! Action! is a Scavenger Hunt for filmmakers. As a
filmmaker,
you have 10 days to make a short film (maximum length 7 minutes)
including a number of items which will be announced on the first day
of
filmmaking (26thFeb). You can tell any story you want, shoot
it however you like and edit to your heart’s content. Teams can register at any stage of the
competition, but it is an advantage to use
the whole ten days to make your films.
Points
are awarded for including the specified items in the films, and
you
will
have to seek them out – Scavenger Hunt style. You can include
the
items
anyway you like, your character can walk past one, or you can set
a
scene at a location, whatever fits your story best – there’s even
a
prize for the best use of an item, so be imaginative!
The theme of the 2010 competition is:
"The flipside"
Additional
points are also up for grabs if you use the theme. You don’t
have
to
use the theme, but will win more points if you do. Be playful
and
creative.
Points
will also be awarded by the judges for story, camera work,
directing
and
all of the other elements that go towards making a good short
film.
