Aurora Australis, Tasmania

Much like the Northern Lights, the Southern light illuminates the Aussie sky in colors of green, blue, red, and even pink. The Southern Lights can be viewed all year round – although most commonly during winter, May to August, and during the spring equinox in September. You can head to Bruny Island, Satellite Island, Bathurst Harbour, and Cradle Mountain for the beautiful natural light show.

#LIFEINADAY-TAKE PART

Taking part is simple: On July 25, grab your camera or smartphone and film your day.

You might record a typical day ⁠— going to work, connecting with family, being with friends. Or maybe something special is happening – it’s your wedding day, you have important news to share, or you’re having a baby. You could show us lockdown in your city, how your world is opening up, or something you’re fighting for.

Alternatively, you could choose to film someone you find interesting and spend the day capturing their July 25th.

We’d also like you to show or tell us the answers to these four questions:

  • What do you love?
  • What do you fear?
  • What would you like to change? Either about the world, or your own life.
  • What’s in your pocket?

The most important thing is to make it personal. Share what matters to you. This is your film.

Submissions are open from July 25 – August 2. After submissions close, a team of researchers and editors will review the clips received. If your footage is used in the final film, we will contact you later in the year.https://www.youtube.com/embed/RfKP3EXVfX4?cc_load_policy=1&enablejsapi=1&origin=https%3A%2F%2Flifeinaday.youtube&widgetid=1

Tips for Filming

Following a few of these simple tips will increase the likelihood of your work being included in the finished film.


  • StorytellingFilmmaking is storytelling: Think about how to hold the viewers’ attention. Whether you’re filming yourself or someone else, the more personal and honest, the better.
  • Hold your shotsHold your shots long enough to establish them in the viewers’ minds. Avoid lots of panning and zooming — it will look messy and it will leave your viewers dizzy.
  • Shoot landscapeMake sure to shoot in landscape mode (so hold your phone on its side).
  • Length/LanguageYou can submit as much or as little footage as you like, and you can record footage in any language.
  • Capture highest quality possible in 24fpsWe’ll accept footage shot on any device, including mobile phones, but higher resolution footage will translate better to the finished film. So choose 4K over 1080p if your camera will allow it. Also, select 24fps as your frame rate, or 30fps if that is not an option on your camera or phone. Go to Settings in your phone and look up the Camera section.
  • Get the best soundIt’s important that we can hear you properly. Pay attention to any background noise that may interfere with your recording. If possible, plug a basic microphone into your camera to get the best sound possible.
  • No filtersDo not use any filters, stickers, or special effects. We want your raw footage.
