GRADUATE SUNDAY

Hey, graduates! We want to honor you!

For our Graduate Celebration, we want to present you (online) to our Gillionville faith family. We need three things, please and thank you:

  1. PICTURE: A high quality, high resolution photograph of the graduate.

  2. INFO: Provide us with your name, your parents’ or guardians’ names, the name of the school from which you graduated, and where you are headed/what you plan to do (college, military or career) . Email both the information and photo to info@gillionville.org by May 3.

  3. VIDEO: Shoot a brief selfie-interview (see Q&A below) sharing your plans following graduation.  The video can be creative, dynamic—capturing your personality (see TECHNICAL below).  We will receive your video and compile it with the other graduates into one video presentation. The idea is to be super casual and to make your video super fun! It should be brief only about 60-90 seconds long.

    THE TECHNICAL:
    Video- We want your video to look amazing! So please do the following:

    1. You or a family member can shoot the video.  

    2. Shoot with an HD smart phone for superior image resolution.

    3. Shoot in good light. Make sure you (especially your face) are lit well, you are not silhouetted etc. Natural, outdoor light is great! 

    4. Shoot in landscape format only (so that all clips and all graduate videos are consistent).

    5. Shoot so that you fill the frame.  Your face should take up the top 1/3 of the frame.

    6. Make sure to look into the camera lens on your phone, (not at yourself on the screen).

Audio- We also want your video to sound amazing! Please do the following:

  1. Make sure you don’t cover your phone’s MIC with your hand when recording.

  2. Make sure to speak clearly.  We will miss great stuff if you speak softly or mumble.

THE Q&A:
These are the points of information we would like in your info:

  1. What’s your name and what school are you graduating from?

  2. What is your thing?  What are you passionate about? (maybe get a video shot of you doing that thing)?

  3. Who are your parents? siblings? (get a video shot of them together as best you can).

  4. Where are you headed?  Immediate plans / Career / Military / School & Course of study?

  5. What is a big takeaway (a big thing you learned) from GBYouth? OR How have you grown in Christ during middle and high school? 

THE DEADLINE:

  1. Please text the youth pastor at 229.395.0026 to receive a Dropbox link to upload your video.

  2. Please submit by our deadline: May 3, 2020.
