Thank You for Registering
Thank you for registering for The Australian Community’s 2021 Creative Challenge Short Film Competition.
We have received your registration, so now you can begin working on your short film that will be judged by popular vote on how well it embodies three elements: Australia, Community and features an American city.
If you have never made a short film, consider these points:
- Start with a Story Board – this will help you plan out your short film.
- Your Story Board will then guide you through the creation/editing of your script.
- Think of your camera angles – they may only be subtle changes, but knowing when to use close up or side angles can really make a difference to your short film.
- Plan your lighting. Without the right lighting scenes can look washed out or too dark. If you are filming during the day, avoid harsh light and shadows – unless you are using them for effect.
- Have good sound. If your audience cannot hear the dialog, you will lose them in a New York minute. You may be able to get away with low quality video, but you cannot get away with low quality sound.

About The Australian Community
Based in New York City and now in our tenth year, our 501(c)(3) organization was formed specifically to connect professional Australians in America. Over the past decade, The Australian Community has assisted tens of thousands of Australians in New York and across America.
In addition to our public social media, our members connect through a private Enterprise Social Network. Our network facilitates 1:1 connections. Most importantly, it contains the largest private Australian knowledge base in North America.
Therefore, whether you are an Australian in New York or another U.S. city, our non-profit services can connect you with other professional Australians to help you achieve your business goals.
If you are an Australian living in or moving to America, you can join The Australian Community.
