You will create a video résumé that shows you and what
represents you in action.
Video résumés are becoming more popular in today’s fast paced,
ever-changing, and competitive world. Whether it’s part of a university
admissions process or a job application, people who will decide your fate in
life are looking for how you can creatively and effectively present yourself in
a way that makes you stand out from the crowd. Video résumés accomplish this need.
Of
course, technology is an inherent part of this creation process. Being able to
use a video camera and video editing software confidently, seamlessly, and
effectively is becoming as essential as being able to use MS Word or
PowerPoint. This project will help build that skill.
To see some examples, go to YouTube and search “Best Job in
the World Application” or “university admission video.”
Video Details:
· 1. 1 – 2 minutes in length;
· 2. Audio must
be included in the video either as a layer and/or original audio captured
by the camera (audio must be leveled throughout the video! i.e. no jumps in
volume, so keep this mind while shooting). Also, if you use any music to
soundtrack your video, keep in mind copyright issues regarding published music.
Usually you can use 10% of song’s length and be safe. To be even safer, use the
Creative Commons search tool,
check out Soundzabound, or create
your own original soundtrack;
· 3. Narration
must be included in the video. That can be done by one or a combination of
the following:
o
Original audio captured by the camera’s
microphone,
o
Voiceover recorded in Audacity or your video
editing software,
o
Captions/sub-titling that appears throughout the
video;
· 4. Be careful that audio narration is louder in the
mix than any background music/audio;
· 5. You can use still images within your piece, but
you must have original video footage
mixed in. All images and video must be originals that you, a family member,
or a friend took.
·
The final video will be embedded on our Facebook Page - DWCL BS Entrepreneurship.
The video will be due in December. The exact due date will
be given later.
