[Short Movie] A Collection of Video Project Ideas for Cultural and School Festivals (81–90)
Scenes on the day of the school festival
This is a video that directly conveys how enjoyable the festival day was—the time and the space.
Since it’s difficult to play during the event itself, it would be clearer to show it at the closing ceremony or the after-party, as a way to look back.
Because it compiles the most memorable scenes from the day, choosing which parts to include is a key point.
You may also need a quick editing pace to have it ready in time to wrap up the festival.
By letting viewers fully feel the excitement from the preparation period through the main event, it will likely leave lasting memories in their hearts.
gameplay commentary video
Even when you’re bored at home, you end up watching let’s-play videos on streaming sites—so why not play them at your school’s culture festival? It’s a creative and imaginative booth idea.
Although it may look simple, the choice of game and the energy of the commentary make all the difference; it’s a deceptively deep video concept where your sense of style is key to getting the crowd excited.
Cram school commercial parody
Studying is inseparable from student life.
Many of you probably pay close attention to cram school commercials, right? Let’s hype up the venue with a parody of a famous cram school ad! You could have executive committee members appear and share their passion for the cultural festival, or have class representatives come on and talk about each class’s enthusiasm.
Try creating videos with a variety of themes!
Make everyday life look cool with reverse playback! Faithfully recreates even commercials in detail.
This video was created as a project to be screened at a school cultural festival.
It’s a continuous sequence of comical yet cool moves set to music, cleverly making use of reverse playback.
The opening recreates the familiar “Movie Thief” seen in theaters, and the commercials inserted in between also reproduce well-known ads you’ve probably seen before.
We tried making a roller coaster for our high school cultural festival.
How about building a roller coaster for your high school cultural festival and turning it into a video? If you make one, you’ll be the talk of the entire school! An indoor setup offers thrills you can’t get outdoors.
However, to have fun safely, a high level of safety is essential, so be sure to design and build it carefully!
Shin Godzilla
How about a film project with a kaiju theme? A gigantic creature lumbering through the town where you live… It would be perfect for conveying the out-of-the-ordinary vibe of a school or cultural festival.
You could buy a costume, but it’s also fun to make one from scratch with cardboard and newspaper.
Get your friends together and build it up with lots of laughs.
You might be unsure how to handle effects and other flourishes, but there are plenty of free, high-powered video editing programs available nowadays—search around and put them to use!
