On 25 September 2024, Lower Sixth put their filmmaking skills to the test with One Day Film School: The Sequel.
In the morning, they learned camera essentials, such as filming and recording sound, as well as tips and tricks to avoid common mistakes. They also learned the three things every good script needs and how to create memorable characters.
Then it was time for the 15 Shot Challenge: pupils worked in groups to create short films of up to three minutes based on a classic narrative (eg. ’A tyrant, a plot against them’).
Then it was time for the Oscars: the judges (Young Film Academy representatives) took their seats for the world premiere of pupils’ films, and to decide who would win Best Motion Picture, Best Performance and Best Technical Achievement.
‘Death by Deputies’ has been selected from over 1000 films to be nominated for the 2024 10 Shot Film Awards in the Best Technical Achievement category.
Winners will be announced on 2 December.
