Assignment

Your video needs to address the following scenario:

You area finalist for an incredible internship opportunity. After submitting a resume and going through an hour-long interview you are notified by the head recruiter that you are a finalist for the internship. You are excited because internships with this company often turn into full time employment after graduation.

After sharing the good news with you, the recruiter describes the final phase of the interview process. She says, "As you are well aware by the research you have done into our company we are a technology intensive business and we place a high value on creativity. Create a video that captures the ideas and concepts of Management Information Systems

To accomplish your objective, we recommend that you follow these steps:

1) Decide on a "story arc" for the story you will tell. In this step, you will decide how to sequence the material you will cover in your video. For example, you will choose what information to cover first, what information you want to cover next, etc.

2) Create a "hook" for your story. When telling your story, we recommend using a "hook, "which gets viewers interested in the person and makes them want to learn more. As an example, the classic movie version of a"hook"can be seen in the opening sequences of any James Bond movie. To make your "hook" effective, it should occur within the first 10seconds of your video.

3) Utilize" triggers" or "obstacles" to tell your story. A "trigger" or "obstacle" represents an event that occurs to change the course or direction that the main character is going. Stories always seem better when "triggers" or "obstacles" are introduced, as they make stories more compelling. For instance, imagine you have a goal that is moving your life in one direction; the trigger might block that path and force you to go in another direction, changing the course for the character in the story.

 4) Storyboard your video. A storyboard is a graphical representation of the sequence of events in your video. At this stage in the project, it is best to create a storyboard simply by drawing a set of boxes joined together by arrows, which depict the flow of your video. Your storyboard should outline how the "story arc" will be captured in the video. In essence, your storyboard should show the sequence of scenes, "hooks," "triggers," and "obstacles," and other elements.
