Guidelines + Helpful Tips

Movie directors have to think of lots of different things. Here’s some help to get you started:

Check out our inspiration board for video ideas OR come up with your very own idea
We recommend videos that go for 1 minute and 30 seconds
Think of a name for your video
Who is your crew? Fill out a Crew sheet (below) – this will come in handy when you submit.
It’s a good idea to write a script or a rough plan of what you’d like to film (check out the sample below)
We would love to see EcoMarines shirts (if you have one)
Be original… this means not copying other scripts, and make sure you have permission to use other people’s photos. You can use images from Unsplash or Tangalooma Island Resort… Just ask an adult for help if you’re not sure!
