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.
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.
