Directions
Create a video between a short time in promoting yourself for a job in the career that you have chosen. The first thing you should do is to introduce yourself and explain your goal. It is important to have good content to use in promoting yourself. There is no need to talk about your current status (school, location, grade, etc.). Be creative in the medium to promote yourself.
Requirements
Time: 60-90 seconds
The time is short because people don't want to see a really long video about yourself. You have about a minute to capture their attention so make it up beat and fast pace that gives the viewer a glimpse and wanting more.
Important
Remember, pressing play on the video is probably the first click your viewer will do on your blog.
- Draft (a)
- Create a rough draft with ideas you have for your video to advertise yourself. Outline your ideas by time with a detailed description.
- 0.00
- 0.09 - Introduction (me outside a business building) [video]
- 0.18 -
- 0.23 -
- Post your outline of ideas and post it to posterous. Also, search the Internet for an example of a self branding Me 2.0 video and post the link.
- Examples (b)
- View the example videos from past students and post the link to your favorite video and comment why. Explain what they could have done better to improve the video even more.
- Storyboard (c)
- Create a storyboard of your video plan. Remember to pay attention to angles and write out he VAS below each box (visual, audio, etc). Six boxes per page. You only get credit if you post the storyboard to posterous and the spreadsheet (bringing the paper is not needed).
- Create (d)
- Film and edit your video according to your plan and storyboard. Add appropriate music that syncs well with the flow of your video. The most important thing about your video is being able to hear your voice so make sure it is clear and loud when you record and the background music does not distract it. Post to YT, spreadsheet, and add it to your blog.
