2. ATTENTION! FILMING IN PROGRESS
An activity that sounds complicated but is far from it. First of all, it's a fun and creative activity where we divide the employees into teams that have tasks to create a script, shoot a film, act in it, and finally edit their own film. This activity brings the employees together to cooperate in each part of the task while emphasizing the creativity of all participants.
Each team receives a tablet with which to record, and after editing, the teams will have a film of about 3 minutes in length. The fun begins when the themes and genres are chosen, where parts of the movies can be situations we encounter every day at work. At the end, the premiere of all the films is organized, and the best Oscars for the best film, the best actor or actress and the best supporting actor or actress will be awarded. This unusual teambuilding activity lasts between 2 and 3 hours and can be done in Serbian or English.
