Event Format

The planning stage is where the festive fun begins. Teams will brainstorm and create a festive-themed storyboard for their movie—whether it’s a Christmas advert, a classic Nativity play, or your favourite festive film. Creativity is key! You’ll then film your scenes, using different areas of the venue to enhance your festive movie magic.

Once all scenes are filmed, it’s time to edit. The iPad Movie Maker software lets you cut, add filters, titles, festive music, and special effects. Whether you want to add transitions or Christmas jingles, the possibilities are endless.
