JUDGING AND CRITERIA
We are looking for the most creative and engaging short films that demonstrate what young people think are the solutions to address bullying, the things that ‘make it better’.
In order to be shortlisted by the judges’, entrants must demonstrate their ability to create an awareness film that respectme would promote nationally as part of their campaign. The film would be used across respectme digital channels and there are plans to use the films during education workshops to spark conversations and learning about bullying. The films will also be showcased during a ‘What Made It Better?’ campaign roadshow next year.
Judgement criteria. Each film will be scored between 1-20 or 1-10 in the following categories:
Story/scripting: How compelling is the story you’ve created? Originality and creativity: How original and imaginative is the film? Technical quality: Has the film been edited well, will it sit well on digital platforms? Cinematography: Has the film been composed well with attention paid to lighting, visual and camera angles used? Original sound and use of music: If there is music used, does it help create mood and emotion to the film? Overall impact of film: Does it leave viewers feeling inspired, help them think differently or encourage them to take action?
