ARE THE 4 SPECIFIC DETAILS THAT HAS TO BE IN YOUR FILM
|
THE CONCEPT OF THE VIDEO
-
A Movie Trailer - Your job is to create a 4 minute (or
less) trailer of a fictitious movie. The trailer will
basically tell the story of your imaginary full length
film in a few
minutes. This can be a trailer for any kind of movie (comedy, thriller, mystery, etc.). The submitted movie
trailers will all be judged on quality, the 4 posted
guidelines, as well as if the judges feel enticed to
see the movie after viewing your trailer.
A PHRASE
THAT MUST BE SAID IN YOUR VIDEO - "Come
What May"
AN OBJECT
THAT MUST APPEAR IN YOUR VIDEO - A
Puzzle - This could be any kind of puzzle (jigsaw,
crossword, Sudoku, Rubik's Cube, word search, etc.), and it has to be
visually seen and mentioned in your movie trailer.
ONE OTHER REQUIREMENT
-
An
'Exploding' Fist Pump - This is basically just a normal
fist pump between two people, with an exploding noise made
by each.

Any other questions or clarification??? Email me at mccartymetro@gmail.com
for a reply.
Q: How
will the films be judged?
A: On overall quality. Writing, acting, plot, etc.
Q: I
don’t have a nice camera. And all I’ve got is Windows Movie
Maker/iMovie. Can I still compete?
A: Absolutely! If you have a good script, we don’t care how poor
the video quality is. Just do the best with what you have- we want
EVERYONE to compete!
Q: Does my
film have to be ABOUT the phrase and object I choose?
A: Not at all. As long as the phrase is spoken at some point in
the film, and the object is in the camera’s view at some point
in the film, you are good!
Q: What kind
of music is permissible for inclusion in my film?
A: Either music you created, own the rights to, or public domain,
royalty-free music. There are a ton of websites that offer this
kind of music for download, completely free. Just because you
own a band’s CD does not give you the “rights” to use it in
your own production.
(Come back
to this page often- it’ll be updated with more FAQs regularly
leading up to the event!)
Those are all of the
official rules! If you have any further questions, send an email
to mccartymetro@gmail.com,
and I will reply to you or post it here.
