A message movie from parent to child

As a movie for graduates, we recommend a message video from their parents.

You can film the parents actually delivering their messages, include the messages as on-screen text, or capture scenes of parents watching over their graduating children.

Try creating a video in various formats that conveys the relationship between parents and their graduating children.

Graduates who watch this are sure to be moved to tears! Preserve that gentle, wonderful bond in a lasting form.

MV full-copy movie

How about creating a memorable movie by perfectly recreating a music video? We recommend choosing the MV of a youthful song packed with easy-to-copy situations.

Try filming in places full of everyone’s memories—inside the school, spots you used to stop by in the neighborhood, or places you often hung out.

If you get teachers, underclassmen, and parents to help, it will become an even more unforgettable piece.

Work together with your classmates to make the best memories and preserve them on film.

I tried singing a graduation song

How about filming yourselves singing a graduation song and giving it as a gift? It’s an idea that works either from current students to graduates, or from graduates to current students and teachers.

You could record it in a fixed shot like a choir performance, or edit it with split screens so everyone’s face is clearly visible.

It’s also great to film people singing in different locations and edit the clips together to make it feel like a music video.

In any format, a video filled with heartfelt singing will resonate with those who watch it.

Graduation countdown movie

@y__126

A countdown movie we started with our usual group of five 🎬💜 With COVID and various things going on, there were hardly any times all five of us could get together 🙅‍♀️ Thanks for the fun high school life ♡Graduation CeremonyGraduation ceremony hair#JK brandNotice of TerminationAomori

How about a countdown movie that records the several dozen days leading up to graduation day? It might be good to start about 30 days before the ceremony.

Write “◯ days until graduation” on sketchbooks, the blackboard, and in various other places, and have different people say the exact words they wrote.

Film a short clip like that each day until graduation, then edit them all together into one video at the end.

When you look back on a video that captures the small changes in yourselves over those days, the shifting seasons, and the growing poignancy, it’s sure to bring you to tears.
