Over the weekend of 16–18 September, twelve senior boys (two teams) participated in the HP48 Hour Film Festival with the goal of writing, shooting and editing a five minute movie within the 48 hour timeframe, using specific elements and genre.
Essential inclusions in this year’s films were:
Character: Charlie Flower (thoughtful)
Prop: Wool
Line of Dialogue: “One more time”
Shot type: Rack focus
Team GreyBot (Jacob Keenan, Morgan Ward, Niko Keen-Beran, Flynn Schikker, Joshua Glass, Ryan Davis, Tim Wills, James Bell, Thomas Bell, Liam Arthur) had to make a Mystery movie, and team Fat Butterfly (Callum Shrimpton, Brennan Hawkins and Ryan Davis) made a Mistaken Identity film.
Both teams completed their films on time with Team GreyBot handing theirs in after 47 ½ hours and Team Fat Butterfly after only 23 ½ (due to work commitments) on Sunday.
Both teams will get to see their films on the big screen at Reading Cinemas, Christchurch in heat 4 on Wednesday evening.
Thank you to Mr Smith and Thomas House Hostel for the use of the Pavilion/ Junior Common Room, to the Administration staff for organising the alarms for us, and to Johannes Runge for his support on Friday night.
