Week 8
Week 8
This week I’ve started my making my pitch. I started off on Canva, but I decided that if I
wanted to add YouTube videos, that I would have to go to another window. So, from this, I
have made one on Prezi, so that I can add a YouTube video if I need to.
I started off with my video. I used all the news video that are on my research tab, as these
would make a really good intro to the video. I hadn’t decided if I want it to be over a minute
or not, because time’s
important.
Overall, I edited it down to 8
clips and estimated to 53
seconds. When I’m pitching, I
want to have at least a three-
minute warning so that I have
two minutes of talking and
then one more minute for the
clip to show. I suppose I could
put it at the beginning of the
pitch, but this video is
supposed to be an overview of
what homeschooling is. Like a
sneak peek. I haven’t had any problems with my pitch this week. I made it early so that I
would have more time to adapt it and show the teachers so that I could get their feedback.
I also finished my shooting script today. I think it’s finished because I know from previous
productions, that when I’ve finished filming I’ve changed all the script because of the
responses from the interviewees. This might not be all of the script but major parts I have. I
don’t want to say that my whole script is finished because then I won’t be able to change it
properly.
I think I’m prepared for my pitch. I’m going to practice over the weekend, mainly time
myself. I don’t want to have a ‘script’ for the pitch, because I know if I’ve missed something
that might add more time. So, I’ll just time myself so that I’m prepared and know how long
to talk on each section, I might restrict myself to each section to stay on track.
