The Creative Elements
Aug 19, 12:00 PM by mamm
This year, all Mighty Asian films must incorporate an inspiration package containing 4 unique creative/cultural elements randomly selected by each team.
Each element must be integral to the plot/storyline/theme of the film and/or to the motivation/conflict of the main character(s). The judges will be instructed to score the films with regards to how successful the films incorporated these creative elements accordingly.
Each creative package will contain the following items chosen at random at the Starting Line on Aug. 20th:
- Creative element #1 — teams choose 1 origami figure — to reveal a Location/Setting
- Creative element #2 — teams choose 1 Ganesha Idol card — to discover an Object/Prop
- Creative element #3 — teams crack open 3 fortune cookies — and choose 1 of these 3 Fortune Cookie Sayings
- Creative element #4 — teams flip over 4 mahjong tiles — and choose to blend together 2 of these 4 Genres
Additional notes about the Genre category:
- There are 18 genres to choose from – and all teams will get to choose from these 18.
- At the Starting Line, teams may exchange any 1 of their genre choices in favour of the MUSICAL genre.
- Teams are free to make their films as dramatic/melodramatic or as funny as they’d like.
- The Genre category may or may not be available for MAMM every year.
- For this first year, the genres will be published here in advance once team registration is closed on Sunday August 19th.
