Greg Harris Film Festival 2018
Greg
Harris Film Festival 2018
Write a script, grab that camera, and find some actors—it’s time to
enter your film in New Trier’s Greg Harris Film Festival. The fest will be held on April 26, 2018 at the Wilmette Theatre.
At 6:30 doors open. At 7pm, roll film. The magic begins as we screen the
movies. At 8pm, cue lights. A ceremony
crowns selected filmmakers, who will be honored with Harris Awards in a
variety of categories. If you’re up for the challenge, this is what you need
to know:
·
The deadline
to enter films is Monday April 9. Go to http://www.newtrier.k12.il.us/HarrisFilmFest/
To fill out the form for your entry.
· Any genre— comedy, drama,
thriller/suspense, horror , spoof, experimental, documentary, animation, movie trailer, commercial/PSA—is
fair game
· Films can range from 1-6 minutes;
you may submit more than one movie
· Remember that parents, siblings and
faculty will be present—create a film for all audiences
· Dress for the night—it’s a film
festival—pull out those jackets and ties and gowns. Let’s do it in style!
·
Not all films will be shown during the
festival; a panel of judges will select films to be screened; all those who
submit will be notified whether they have been selected
Technical Requirements:
· Entries
should be in 16:9 Standard Definition (854x480). If your project is shot in
4:3 SD (720x480), include black bars on either side and export as 16:9.
· Each
entry file should be named the same as the title of the movie.
· Each
entry should have a 5 second “slate” (a simple black and white title card
with the name of the project and those submitting it), followed by 2 seconds
of black. This “slate” will not take the place of traditional titles or be
shown at the fest, but is helpful in identifying the movie and those who
created it.
· Include
2 seconds of black at the end of movie.
· Adjust
your audio levels so that they peak at –6 db. This will prevent audio
distortion.
· Stop
by the Helpdesk in 224 if you have any questions or need technical
assistance.
· If you have questions, contact Mr.
Oetter (room 332) or Mr. Trovato (room 330)
Ready! Get Set! Film Race!
As a special genre, the film race will be open to all students who are
up for a different challenge.
You will have 72 hours –from Friday April 6 to Monday April 9—to make
a short film (30 seconds to 4 minutes) that must include 2 secret elements:
a line of dialogue
a specific object
Both the line of dialogue and the object will be revealed at 3pm on
Friday April 6 on the following website:
The dialogue and object have to be
somewhere in the film, though they do not have to play a major role in the
plot or story.
Students can enter more than one
film—for instance a regularly shot film and a film race film.
All Film Race movies must be
submitted no later than Monday April 9 by 3:30pm
