What we are looking for are the most impactful and creative ideas. Have fun but craft something you want to say.

ADVICE:

Ensure;

1: You have all permissions in place to film whatever it is you do.That means people, locations as well any music , archive / material you use. Credit those you need to (credits do not need be within the 60 seconds)

2: Be covid secure ( guidance here) : Make sure you do not put yourself or others at risk of getting or transmitting the virus , adhere to the latest government guidelines. Essentially, stick to face coverings , washing hands, and keeping distance. Stay Local. Ventilate space and clean equipment. It may well be best to make a film on your own or with a virtual team of collaborators sharing skills and resources.
