Film Festival Inspiration - My entry from 2014

Hello everyone,

Here is my Bastow Film Festival video entry from last year.  Hopefully you can use this for some inspiration for your own film.  When my Principal and I did this together we tried not to be to literal with our project and attempted to convey a feeling rather than listing or documenting the details from the brief.  We asked ourselves, what to we want our viewers feel about our vision?  What music or images my help us match that? Lets be honest.. . one minute is not much time, especially when you try to include some written words or any speech at all!  So try to think about it like you are making an ad for TV.  Top tip, you don't need to flash an image on the screen for long (a couple of seconds will do) for your audience to know what is going on.  Don't give us a tour of your current school.  Go BIG, this is an ideal school without boundaries or budget constraints (If I had my time again I'd be far more ambitious than I was here)  Having this kind of "moonshot thinking" is what got some of our worlds best innovators, scientist and global leaders the ideas that prompted CHANGE.  Have fun with it too!  This could be a powerful tool for you when you head back to school to present you findings to your staff.

Good luck to you all,

Here is our entry.
