On the following day, before the clock strikes 6 p.m., the participants need to complete the filmmaking process, including story development, screenwriting, shooting, sound recording and editing, and send it online to the committee.

To ensure that the participants conduct the entire process within the set period of time, the committee said in a press release that it would announce the audio visual elements required in the film only on Sept. 2 at 8 a.m.
