With just over 2 weeks left to enter the Childnet Film Competition we look at some of the key things to know before you send in your entry!
Songs and copyright
Make sure that all of the films, sound effect or other effects in your video are royalty and copyright free. You also need to make sure that you cite any sources for these clearly in the video (as stated by each songs usage policy).
In the Childnet Film Competition we will only accept films which feature original or royalty free images and sound. Find out more about our film competition copyright policy here: http://childnet.eightarms.co.uk/resources/film-competition/2018/important-copyright-information
Check the length
It is really important that you make sure your film is the right length for the category that you are entering.
Primary category: only entries of 1 minute or under can be considered for the primary category.
Secondary category: only entries of 2 minutes or under can be considered for the secondary category
This time frame must include any credits you wish to add. Credits are not requited, so it is advisable to keep credits to a minimum to avoid losing time for your film content and remember to add first names only!
What happens if our film is longer than the stated time?
Although we love to see all of your films, unfortunately films longer than the stated time will not shortlisted as finalists.
Watch it through one last time!
Remember before sending off your film competition entry watch it one more time and check:
- Can you hear all of the audio clearly
- If this the correct version that you want to submit
- Has the entire film exported properly
- Are you happy with it
If you answer yes to all of the above questions then you are ready to enter the Childnet Film Competition 2018!
