What are BUMPERS?
• Advertising film format
• 6 seconds to tell a story
• 1 sole idea
• It is publicity, therefore it aims to communicate
The participation conditions for Bumpers are the following:
- Specific content for that format
• Cannot reduce 30” spots
• Specific creative process
• Shooting specifically for this format (everything matters, the idea must be clear before filming)
• 6 seconds, 1 idea and a specific emotional tone
• Images prevail over sound
• Closeups adapt better to a mobile screen
• Voiceover or narrative may get lost, everything counts,
music, sound, silence.• Its own rhythm
• No introduction, straight to the plot
• The action takes the lead
• Several Bumpers work better
• If there’s a sequence, the message is clearer• Each bumper nuances part of that idea that is wished to
be passed on
• The topic consists of: passing on the idea of art and
nature through the experiences of customers
