A couple weeks ago our IB year one Film students participated in the first annual "Clash of the Titans" film challenge at the American School in Paris, where a few of the best high school film programs from around the world were hand selected to come together for a 48-hour film challenge.At the outset, each team was given a prop they needed to use, a random location in Paris, and a random film genre.They then had just two days to plan, shoot, and edit a short film.
几周前，我们的IB一年级电影课的学生在巴黎美国学校参加了首届“诸神之战”电影挑战赛，来自全球各地最好的高中电影课程的学生经过精心选拔聚到一起，参加这个四十八小时电影挑战赛。最开始的时候，每个团队会被分到一个他们需要使用的道具、一处在巴黎随机挑选的地点以及随机分配的一种电影类型。随后，他们需要在短短两天的时间里进行规划、拍摄并剪辑完成一部电影短片。
Students also met Chris Renaud, the director and creator of "Despicable Me" and "The Secret Life of Pets" as well as their sequels.Renaud gave an incredibly meaningful and inspirational keynote about channeling their creativity into their work, and the messy, surprising path to success.
学生们还见到了《卑鄙的我》和《爱宠大机密》系列动画电影的导演兼创作者克里斯·雷纳德。雷纳德发表了极富意义与感召力的主旨演讲，谈到了如何将创意思维融入到作品中以及他跌跌撞撞、惊喜不断的成功之路。
The students also had a chance to visit some of the cultural landmarks of Paris, including the Eiffel Tower, the Musee d'Orsay, the Pompidou Centre, and the iconic "Two Windmills" cafe from the film "Amelie", one of our touchstone films in our class.
学生们还有机会参观了巴黎的一些文化地标，其中包括埃菲尔铁塔、奥赛博物馆、蓬皮杜中心以及电影《天使爱美丽》中标志性的“双风车”咖啡馆，这部电影正是我们班的模范影片之一。
All three of our SAS teams came out with three exceptional shorts, and one team swept the awards. After "125" received the awards for "Best Sound" (Kaya Erguven ‘20), "Best Editing" (Will Lin ‘20), "Best Cinematography" (Vicky Jen ‘20), "Best Director" (Chloe Millet ‘20), it was no surprise that they took away "Best Film" as well.
上海美国学校的三个参赛团队拍摄完成了三部优秀的电影短片，其中一个团队包揽了全部奖项。在《125》斩获了最佳音效（上海美国学校十一年级学生Kaya Erguven）、最佳剪辑（上海美国学校十一年级学生Will Lin）、最佳摄影（上海美国学校十一年级学生Vicky Jen）和最佳导演（上海美国学校十一年级学生Chloe Millet）奖后，他们最终毫无疑问地斩获了最佳影片大奖
