What are the film requirements?
The Festival de Eanes would like to challenge students in K-12 to produce either a narrative or animation/stop-motion film. The theme for this year is Community. Along with the theme, we will be requiring three items to be in your short film.
- The film must include the prop: a Backpack
- The film must include the video effect/filter: Green Screen or Picture in Picture
- The film must include the line of dialogue: "We’re all in this together"
Students are encouraged to think of creative ways to incorporate the props, effects, and dialogue into their films. This year, there needs to be at least one instance of a Green Screen effect or Picture in Picture effect in the film.
