 Annex A-2

Short Film – (மனதில் உறுதி வேண்டும்!)

Competition Rules and Regulations
Objective:
To encourage the use of Tamil Language through acting and creative thinking.

Rules and regulations:

• Each frame should only include maximum of five actors.

• There can be 2 to 5 actors for the whole production.
• The short film titled ‘மனதில் உறுதி வேண்டும்!’ must display the concept of Youth
demonstrating resilience and tenacity when facing adversities in their life.
• Film duration should be limited to 5 – 6 minutes.
• Dialogues spoken must not contain any vulgarities and must not be hurtful.
• Performances can be comical in nature.
• Participants must be in costumes that are appropriate and not revealing.

B. Video Recording
1. Recording should be done either using a head-set mic or using a microphone mounted
on a stable structure to achieve good audio quality. This reduces the likelihood that the
microphone will move around during recording.
2. Be mindful to minimise background noise. If you can hear the noise just by standing and
listening, it will be much worse on the recording.
3. Avoid recording in rooms that have a discernible ‘echo’.
4. If the audio input to your recording device allows you to select the sampling rate, choose
16 KHz or higher. If it allows you to select the digital audio sample resolution, choose 16
bits or higher.
5. Do the video recording in a brightly lit place for all recordings.
6. Do a quality check of the videos before sending us an electronic submission.

• Submit competition entries for Short Film by 20 March 2024, Wednesday, 11:59pm.

• A link with regards to the submission of competition entries will be sent later to
college/institution upon registration.

• ASRJC may organise for Preliminary Judging on 23 March 2024, Saturday if there
is an overwhelming response for this category.
