Tell us about the movie you want to make


Yay! You're going to make a movie!

Well, here are some things to think about:

1. Your final movie should not be longer than 5 minutes. Yup, no more than that.

2. You work in pairs or trios to create one movie together.

3. What do you work on? You can create a movie to
  • teach us or show us how to make something, like bake something, or do a science experiment, or play baseball, or make an art project ...
  • tell us a story about someone special, your school, your community
  • highlight a concern or issue in your local environment to promote awareness and public action
  • share something about your culture - tell us something about your community/ethnic culture that is unique or special so that we can better understand it
* Something not mentioned here? Yes, tell us if you have some idea of your own that is not listed here, feel free to leave comments here or talk to us. We'll be happy to discuss it with you to help make it work.

Don't wait, start thinking about what you want to make a movie about soon, because you will start planning your movie in the second session.

To Jacob:
Horror is very interesting. Tell us more about your idea. Then we can see whether it is do-able

To ms. Brown
I am sorry, we can't make it.

To baileyn,
It depends. For example, if you want more effects in your movie, it will take longer time... To tell you the truth, I spent two whole nights to finish my graduation album movie because I do a lot of effect in a 8 min movie excluding credits. :)

In this project, you just have to make a five-minute movie.
