• Max length of film: five minutes.
• Fee: £100 per soundtrack
• Number of opportunities: Two (we have two short films so need two soundtracks)

This opportunity is to create an edgy, dramatic, memorable and exciting soundtrack for a short five-minute promotional film. The film aims to highlight the Harris in Preston to young people aged 12-25.

The soundtrack can be experimental, glitchy, atmospheric and arty but needs to be thought provoking and unique. Once heard never forgotten! No pressure!

You can use any kind of music genre or sounds to create impact. However, we would like to steer clear of a soundtrack that is too specific in genre and that might alienate others. We would like you to consider musical multiculturalism and diversity and it must be original and created by you.

The films were created by young people aged 12-25 in a workshop at the Harris, working alongside photographer and filmmaker Garry Cook (www.gazcook.com). The finished products will be used across social media platforms and on the Harris’ website, to encourage young people to visit the Harris and be inspired by its exhibitions, collections and heritage and the cultural experiences it can offer as an arts venue, creative hub and meeting place.
