Camera, Lights, Action!

Each team is tasked with filming and producing a 2 to 3 minute promotional video.

This can range from the latest film release to a product launch for your company. Here are a few ideas for your day:

• Company Product
• Bond’s Latest Film
• Commercial Advert for . . .
• Holiday Destination
• Music video
• Or something creative of your choice

The day starts with each team being given their equipment, video camera, sound boom, clapperboard and, of course . . . producer's hat.

The way it works:

Each team is given a budget and must work within the set rules of the chosen topic. Teams can pick up extra budget by incorporating branded company logos into the film, however there must be a reason for the item being included, if there isn’t, some of the budget will be cut!

Where the budget goes:

• Wardrobe
• Make up
• Props
• Location
• Production
• Special effects

Each team must first write the script then plan the props and extras needed. Once happy with their lot they must submit their plans and budget to the film studio. When given the go-ahead the team can collect their props and head out to begin filming.

On returning to the studio the team will head straight into the production room where they will edit their commercial. They will then submit their video to the Studio bosses and await the verdict!
