Due: Mar 6 Wednesday, 11:59pm | Canvas link (rubric & submission) | Points: 4
This week you will report on your project progress.
Post #18: Next you will start working on your final presentation video. Before you start, be sure to watch a few examples to get a sense of what you might want to include in the video.
To get started on the video, you will write a draft script. Your video script should include a plan for narration and accompanying visuals (footage or images). Your script should be in the form of a three column table as described below. Make the table in a Google doc with comment/suggestion permissions for the instructors, so you can receive feedback before starting to make your video. You can then embed the Google doc in your post. Here are some example scripts: Luci, Auxie.
The first column should include a section number and a short section title (e.g. "introduction", "demonstration of task 1" or "testimonial from test user").
The second column should be the a description of visual elements that will be shown in the video (e.g. "talking head of team member A", "video of robot manipulating object", "screen recording of someone using the UI"). Include sufficient details such that someone who reads your description could go and shoot that video for you.
The third column should be the narration text that will be read voice-over on the video, if the video does not already include relevant audio. This includes what will be said in "talking head" shots.
There is no fixed structure for the videos but make sure your script addresses the following: (i) clearly describe and motivate the problem, (ii) describe the robot-based solution (what it does and how it works), (iii) include evaluation results and feedback from at least one user (it is okay to put tentative placeholder in the script for now), and (iv) introduce the team and what you all focused on in the project.
Post #19: Write another short progress update on what you accomplished in Week 9 in your project. At this point in the project you are likely working in parallel on several aspects of the project in subgroups. We recommend that each subgroup posts a separate progress update (Post #19a, #19b, ..). For example if you have one person working on the UI, that person can be responsible for posting a progress update on that. Progress updates should include deliverables shown with pictures, videos, screenshots, or any other evidence of progress. Make sure to indicate who has been working on what.
