AWARDS MPB FILMMAKER OF THE YEAR
STUDENT LEARNING THE ROPES
If you’re studying filmmaking, photography, mixed media or any other creative course, this category is for you – current students or recent graduates from the past two years. This open category includes anything from commercial-style work to social media, documentary or narrative. The film can be all your own work, or something you worked on as part of a team. It could be a project, showreel, personal work or paid-for by a client.
AERIAL BIRD’S-EYE VIEWS
CINEMATOGRAPHY SETTING UP AMAZING SHOTS This award recognises the cinematography being used in smaller- budget productions that looks like it utilised a large team but is actually cost- effective and driven by creativity rather than cash. It’s all about lens choice, camera angles, lighting and editing, deployed to make something that’s stylish and memorable. So show us your best work! This award category is perfect for those filmmakers who shoot aerial camerawork; it can be the sole content of your film or just a part of it. From normal drones to FPV, even pole cams or from planes, wow the judges with your aerial work. We aim to celebrate the people who know it’s not as simple as just sending a drone up to get an establishing shot. Incredible work takes time and expertise to do well. INSTRUCTIONAL SHOWING HOW IT’S DONE This category is for those how- to videos, instructional pieces or training movies that help a viewer do something new or improve. It’s a key filmmaking skill that takes lots of planning and logical thinking to get right. Whether you were involved from scripting through to final production for a client, or worked on the filming or post- production, send us your work.
