紹邦學生挑戰“速成微電影”
4月21-23日，紹邦書院舉辦了一次與眾不同的微電影訓練營。同學們不僅要學習微電影的製作技巧，更要在30個小時之內拍攝出自己的作品。
本次訓練營的導師黃銘堅先生出身澳門，也是香港第一批製作網絡微電影的電影人，曾出品《蘋行世界》等作品。參加訓練營的學生共有15人，分成三組，其中大部分是紹邦書院微電影工作坊的成員。
黃銘堅先生首先向學生們介紹了自己的經歷以及拍攝風格，并結合自己的作品講解了編劇、拍攝及剪接等方面的技巧。在他的要求下，同學們要在30個小時內完成劇本、拍攝、剪輯等全部工作，并交出作品。“這個挑戰真的很難。”黃銘堅先生坦言道。
然而，認真努力的學生們並沒有讓人失望。三組同學經過徹夜努力，按時交出三部各有特色的微電影：講述如何面對挫折的《科芬魚》、描寫校園愛情的《紙條》和關於電腦遊戲成癮的科幻劇《Today Once More》。梁偉賢院長及夫人、黃銘堅先生和參加訓練營的學生們一起觀賞了三部微電影並作集體討論和分析，並由黃銘堅先生一一做出點評。黃銘堅先生認為，三部電影已經具備了參賽水平的基礎，鼓勵同學們繼續磨練，更上一層樓。
同學們則表示，這次訓練營雖然很辛苦，但也學到了非常多東西，“前所未有，也畢生難忘”。
Shiu Pong College Students Attempt to Produce Short Film within 30 Hours
Shiu Pong College organized a special short film production camp on April 21-23, with participating students learning film production skills and finishing a short film within 30 hours.
Mr. Wong Ming Kin, who produced a well-known short film “I-World”, was invited to be the trainer of this camp. Being a Macanese, he is one of the first-generation filmmakers of internet short film in Macau and Hong Kong. A total of 15 students, mainly members of Short Film Production Workshop of Shiu Pong College, were divided into three groups in this 2-day experiential learning camp.
Mr. Wong first shared his experience and introduced his film style in accordance with his works, and then explained important skills about script writing and video taking. He requested each group to finish a short film within 30 hours, including script writing, video taking and editing. “It is not easy.” Mr. Wong said that the shortest production period he had ever experienced was 48 hours.
However, students accepted this challenge with their great effort. Each group submitted a short film on time. Three films had different features. “Coffinfish” expressed how to face failure; “Piece of Paper” showed a romantic story in university; “Today Once More” was a science fiction film about computer game addiction. Prof. Leung, the Master of Shiu Pong College, Ms. Leung, Mr. Wong and participants watched these short films together followed by a collective discussion, then Mr. Wong gave comments one by one. He said that these works had the foundational quality to attend competition and encouraged students to develop themselves continuously.
Students thought that they learned so much in this camp although they were also very tired. “I did not experience this before, and I will never forget it.”
