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.
Day 2020,' 10 Years on From Crowdsourced Original
by Alex Ritman
Amateur filmmakers around the world are being asked to capture their lives on July 25 for the YouTube Originals film.
Ten years after he directed the groundbreaking crowdsourced feature documentary Life in a Day — made up of amateur video clips selected from 80,000 submitted to YouTube and depicting people's lives around the world on a single day (July 24, 2010) — director Kevin Macdonald is set to open a cinematic window onto human existence once more.
Life in a Day 2020, as the title suggests, is set to repeat the process a decade later, with anyone who wants to encouraged to film their life and tell the story of a day on Earth, this time on July 25, 2020. The YouTube Originals film reunites with Macdonald with Ridley Scott, who executive produced the first feature.
Like the original, Life in a Day is set to premiere at the Sundance Film Festival and on YouTube next year.
"Making the first Life in a Day was one of the most joyful and eye-opening experiences of my life," said Macdonald. "Contributors were generous enough to share often quite intimate moments from their lives as part of a huge, life-affirming filmmaking experiment. I am thrilled, 10 years later, that we are making Life in a Day 2020. In that time, how have we changed? How has our relationship to filming ourselves changed? And at this extraordinary turning point in history what are we hoping for in our future?"
