A group of primary school pupils from Fife have reached the final in a national film competition.

The children from Burntisland Primary School took just two months to create their stop motion film, Granny Mac’s Meringues.

Classes saw them writing the script, building the set and models, filming and recording voiceovers.

In the film, the Queen travels to Hisland Island to choose a hat from famous milliner Hettie McHattie for the Royal Wedding. On the boat on the way back to the mainland there is a mix up with the boxes and the hat goes missing.

The children are one of the three groups shortlisted for the Best Film by Under 11s at the First Light Awards. They are up against films from Middlesbrough and Belfast.

The competition is judged by Danny Boyle and Sam Mendes and six of the pupils will be travelling to London next month for the results.
