Keep challenging yourself!
#WriteHerStoryChallenge
Imagine you could make any movie with no limits. What would your perfect movie be like? Who would be the main character? Would it be like other movies you’ve seen, totally different, or somewhere in between? Take your perfect movie idea and turn it into a script!
#GirlsTeachMediaChallenge
Do you ever wish that other girls had the chance to learn some of the media skills that you’ve had? Is there a specific media skill-- such as camera, editing, sound, writing, acting, documentaries, vlogs, etc-- that you have a real passion for? One way you can use your media skills and help our program (and our mission of teaching girls media) expand is by creating your own tutorial!
#FanGirlVibesChallenge
We’re all fans of something-- a TV show, a band, a video game, or even just a celebrity! This #Challenge is a way to practice your editing skills by creating a short aesthetic video celebrating whatever you’re a fan of. Your video can be created with any vibe, genre, color palette, mood, etc that you want! Experiment with different editing effects to find the perfect way to showcase your fandom
