Phase 3: Pitch
Produce a short presentation that explains the project concept. Use presentation slide software to design the presentation and record a video presenting the slides in a professional manner. You can include voice narration or on screen text to explain what we're looking at. Please include:
- Slideshow Video: Clearly legible text or voice narration
- If doing voice narration, you can choose one team member to narrative, or have different members contribute narration of different slides.
- PDF export of slides used for the video.
The video should be fun and engaging! Imagine you are pitching this potential stakeholders or investors. Use bold imagery and visual design. Don't put looooooong passage of text on a slide an then read it to us. Keep it simple and concise.
Requirements
- Must include original images or sketches depicting how the final project might appear
- Must include images of related creative work or designs that indicate your stylistic goals, competitors, or inspiration.
- Video should be 2-5 minutes long.
Resources
- How to record slideshow and narration with Powerpoint
- How to record your screen with Quicktime (Mac). Other screen-recording software is available online. Do this if you want to record a Google Slide presentation.
- Audio recording programs:
- Audacity: free open-source audio recording; tutorial for how to record with computer mic.
- Adobe Audition: available with PSU Adobe account; professional grade audio editor. Here's a tutorial for recording a simple audio file.
- How to reduce video filesize (if your video is larger than 500MB or taking forever to upload):
- Use Adobe Media Encoder to resize or compress a video file (without editing it, if you want to trim a video or do complex editing, use Adove Premiere).
- This video shows how to reduce the bitrate (i.e. quality) of the video to lower the file size. You can also choose to resize the video; e.g. from 1080p (1920px x 1080px) to 720p (1280px x 720px).
Submission details:
- Post the pitch to the project blog.
- Upload a .zip file to the canvas assignment that includes:
- Pitch video (Please export/compress this video. It should be less the 500MB in filesize)
- PDF export of the slides
Note: only one person in the group needs to submit the file to the group assignment.
