[Short Videos] A Collection of Video Project Ideas You Can Use at Culture Festivals and School Festivals (71–80)
Band live announcement video
The band’s live performance on the school festival stage is one of the festival’s main attractions and something to look forward to.
Let’s turn that exciting event into something even more thrilling by creating a band live announcement video that really sells the show and makes people want to come.
Instead of showing a full song, tease your strongest parts bit by bit and weave cool shots into the audio—by getting creative, you can make a compelling short movie.
It’s a good idea to use trailers on YouTube as references.
Public Confession Video Collection
I’m jealous… How about putting together a compilation of public confession videos that capture a slice of youthful memories? Since everyone can shoot videos on their smartphones nowadays, if people pool their footage and edit it by theme, you might end up with something surprisingly compelling.
live-action Death Note
From among projects that attempt live-action recreations, this is a recreation of DEATH NOTE.
Rather than focusing on replicating the distinctive personalities of the characters, it’s a work where the emphasis clearly lies on faithfully reproducing the composition—such as positioning and camera angles.
Promo video for a festival booth
When running a booth at a school festival, making and airing a commercial for it is one way to boost sales.
The video uses the shop name “My Frankfurter, My Smoothie,” and I think having a shop name with a strong impact like this is a key point!
School Introduction Video
How about shooting a short movie with your school—the place you go to every day—as the theme? You’ll feel even more affection for your school, and it’s sure to become a lasting memory! Consider capturing highlights such as a day in the life of students, your school’s standout facilities, a tour of different areas on campus, classroom scenes, and introductions to clubs.
Just be careful not to cram in too much.
If the content gets too dense, the runtime will get long and viewers may lose interest.
Try to keep it concise and on-point within a short timeframe!
Using a mascot costume
Why do animal costumes create such a soothing, heartwarming atmosphere? What’s more, it’s said that for the wearer, a costume can lower psychological barriers and make communication easier.
It really does feel like you can become a different version of yourself.
Costumes are relatively easy to get—you can rent them or buy them online.
Use them effectively to make your short videos more entertaining.
A recommended approach is to use “contrast” like in the video: by pairing the costume with something that seems least compatible with it, you can make the costume stand out even more.
Video of the chemistry club
You can make videos with knowledge alone—no need to put your body on the line! Let’s try creating opportunities to spark interest in science with visually striking experiments.
Be sure it’s clear that you’re taking maximum safety precautions and conducting everything with a teacher present and the utmost care.
