The vivo smartphone gives tips on how to shoot a short film at home.

vivo Smartphone is pleased to announce its sponsorship of the College Minutes Film Tournament. This exciting event, which will take place in all cities of the country, offers film lovers a unique opportunity to showcase their skills and creativity in the production of short films.

The exercise is designed to encourage college students to create an original short film in sixty seconds. The tournament is hosted by Vivo Smartphone, a world renowned company that uses cutting edge technology, superior lenses and cameras. Each short film will be judged by a panel of industry experts such as Carlos Reyes and Jeronimo Rivera. Evaluation criteria will include originality, creativity, production quality, and the short film’s ability to tell a compelling story in a short amount of time.

Students will have the freedom to choose any genre, from comedy and drama to action or animation. They are also encouraged to use any kind of production technology, including the use of drones and special effects.

Vivo films are a unique opportunity to showcase craftsmanship and creativity in front of a wide and diverse audience. In addition, the participants will also have a chance to win interesting prizes, including the most advanced mobile phones from vivo smartphone.

According to Jeronimo Rivera, Director of the Audiovisual Communication and Multimedia Program at the University of La Sabana, “Until recently it was very difficult to create audiovisual products on a small budget, this situation has changed thanks to digitization and the advent of smartphones with which they can have excellent picture and sound quality. , through this process, young people today have the opportunity to tell great stories from their mobile devices.”

The art of telling stories and translating them into videos is not an easy task, for example, experts recommend creating unforgettable characters and an emotional connection with the viewer. Another strategy is to be clear about the genre from the beginning, whether it be comedy, suspense or drama. This clarity will allow you to stay focused during the script.

Once the story is determined, a storyboard, which is a series of illustrations that serve as a guide for recording, should be created to help plan the structure of the short. At the moment of recording, it is important to organize the frames for each scene, the more elements in each frame (props, textures, backgrounds, scenery, characters), the more complex the frame becomes and the more time and care is required to shoot it.

The vivo brand, which is at the forefront of innovation in mobile technology, also recommends that you start planning ahead – script writing, recording and editing can take several days, so it’s best to start early.

By opening this Vivo tournament, the smartphone demonstrates its commitment to the creativity and talent of students. To participate, those who wish must register on the official website of the tournament (www.esvivofilms.com) and submit their short film by May 25, 2023.
