🎬 Create Your Video

Tools and Tips for Student Teams (Ages 12–17)

Welcome, creators! 🌟
Here you’ll find free tools, guides, and inspiration to help you make an amazing short video (under 1 minute) about integrity and ethical behaviour in school life.

​

🎥 1. Plan Your Story

Think before you film!

• Brainstorm ideas with your teammates — pick one integrity topic that matters to you.

• Write a short script (what happens, what each person says).

• Keep it short - 1 minute is enough to tell your message clearly (but for competition aim ≤ 1 minute).

• Choose your format:

  • 🎭 Mini drama or skit – act out a real-life situation.

  • ✏️ Animation – draw or use digital tools to tell your story.

  • 🎙️ Interview or news report – show real opinions or discussions.

  • 📸 Stop-motion or photo story – use pictures and creativity.

  • 💬 Visual Quotes – combine inspiring quotes about integrity, fairness, or respect with visuals, photos, or short clips.

🧩 Free planning tools:

• Google Docs – for writing your script together

You can also use AI tools to help you:
