Resene Colour in Frame

Whitireia students get colourfully creative with Resene fashion colours in new TVCs

Few students have the chance to create a broadcast television commercial, but this year's intake to the New Zealand Diploma in Screen Production (Level 6) have done exactly that.

Whitireia Colour in Frame Student Film Compeition

Whitireia Community Polytechnic Limited partnered with Resene, on an in-house film competition that challenges screen production students to create a 30-second TVC, inspired by colours of their choice from Resene 'The Range'; Resene's new fashion paint colour range.

The challenge asked students to generate a unique concept for a commercial, pitch it and then work in teams to generate TVCs of the winning concepts from-scratch using paint resources giving students the opportunity to gain industry experience with a real-life client and extend their technical and creative skills.

The students had total creative freedom, as long as the commercial met the client brief and used paint colours from the new Resene 'The Range' fashion collection.
