Guidelines for Filming
Duration:
Each submission must be a continuous, unedited 7-minute shot.
Camera Setup:
Use a tripod for stability or ensure the camera remains completely still if handheld. Stability is essential to maintain the integrity of the static shot.
Framing:
Frame the full facade of the cinema, ensuring the entire architectural structure is visible within the composition.
Focus:
Keep the focus on the facade, as a single frame, no pans, zooms, or movements.
Sound:
Keep camera sound. Ambient sounds of the location. No adding any external music or soundtracks.
Format:
Submit the video in high-resolution formats (HD or 4K recommended).
Post
No post-production apart from selecting 7 continuous minutes at 24, 25 or 30fps. No text overlay during, before or after. The first image and last image should show the cinema marquee.
Celebrate the global diversity of cinemas and their timeless role as cultural landmarks. Your scene will become part of a collective tribute to the legacy of the 7th art.
