Passion Project Ideas
計劃
“My District, My Story” (4–5 Minute Short Film for Film Stylo)
Write, direct, shoot, and edit a personal 4–5 minute short film about your life, identity, or community in Hong Kong
Use Film Stylo (by Babel Film Workshop) or a similar framework: simple guidelines, clear deadline, and a chance to be part of an anthology feature screened publicly (Or publish on platforms like YT/Instagram)
Keep a production journal (script drafts, shot lists, edits, reflections) and write a 3–5 page “director’s statement” on what you learned about storytelling and filmmaking
🏫 Why it’s good for uni: Shows you can complete a full creative project from idea to screen, think visually, and reflect critically!
Mini Documentary Series on Local Creatives
Plan a 3–5 episode mini‑doc series (3–6 mins each) profiling local creatives (a friendly street photographer, a busker, a small café owner, an artist friend etc.)
For each episode/video: research, pre‑interview, shoot B‑roll, conduct an on‑camera interview, edit, and add subtitles
Publish on YouTube/Instagram and create a simple website or portfolio page with synopses, stills, and a short reflection
🏫 Why it’s good for uni: Demonstrates research, interviewing, shooting, and editing skills, plus an understanding of documentary ethics and storytelling
“Media Literacy Lab” (School‑Based Project on Fake News & Algorithms)
Design a 2–3 session workshop for your school on media literacy like how algorithms shape what we see, how to spot misinformation, and how to fact‑check like a journalist
Create slides, short example videos, and a simple “fact‑checking checklist” handout; run a live demo where students analyse viral posts or news clips
Collect feedback, refine the workshop, and optionally turn it into a short guide or video series
🏫 Why it’s good for uni: Shows critical thinking about media systems, ability to teach complex ideas clearly, and social impact
Tag @YourStudySurvival if you carry out any of these ideas! 😉
“HK Film Locations Remake” — Location‑Based Short Film Challenge
Choose 1–2 iconic Hong Kong film locations (e.g., Central escalators, Temple Street, Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront)that have appeared in well‑known local films
Write, direct, shoot, and edit a 2–4 minute short film that is inspired by or set in those locations, using them as a key part of your story and visual style
Document your process like location scouting notes, shot list, a short “director’s commentary” video, and a 2–3 page reflection on how place shapes storytelling!
Optionally submit to school festivals, Film Stylo, or local youth showcases!
🏫 Why it’s good for uni: Shows strong visual storytelling, understanding of place and mise‑en‑scène, project management, and creative initiative
Coming Soon..
