ABOUT THE BRIEF
Lights, Camera, Action!
Your 48 hour filmmaking challenge begins now!
It's time for your Team Leader to check their inbox!
They will have received your submission link, a mandatory Line of Dialogue, and two Prop options.
What to incorporate into your film :
-
Incorporate the provided line into your film. It can be featured prominently or subtly, but it must be included. If your line is delivered in a language other than English or in sign language, please include English subtitles.
-
Each team has been given two prop options. One is a more everyday household object, and the other is a more unusual creative prompt. Choose whichever inspires you most. You only need to include one of the two props in your final film.
The chosen prop must be interacted with or clearly acknowledged within the film. Simply using it as background set dressing is not enough.
