Video Deliverables

The video doesn’t have to include everything you did all year long, but it should discuss the motivation for the project, any necessary background (keep it brief), and your results. Think of this as a “movie trailer” or “elevator pitch” for your Q&A and discussion.

You are encouraged to include demonstrations of your developments (like an interactive app).

You must use a single static PowerPoint slide with no transitions or animations.

You are limited to 3 minutes maximum.

Presentations are to be spoken word (e.g. no poems, raps or songs)

Here are some examples of different roles the students can fill(as well as added suggestions):

One or more students can brainstorm ideas and bring together the storytelling presentation components.https://www.animateyour.science/post/how-to- write-a-winning-3mt-script[link]

One student can assemble the single PowerPoint slide to be used. It is recommended that you add visuals to your slide and limit text. www.animateyour.science/post/how-to-design-an-impactful-3mt-slide- with-examples[link]

One or more students can write the script for the 3MT. link

One or two students can create the video recording and voice over.

One student can do any necessary video editing and add the closed captions. Work closely with your Corporate Partner Mentor to identify what parts of the project can be publicly shared.

Craft an attention-grabbing hook to engage your audience from the start.

Weave a captivating narrative using the ABT (And, But, Therefore) template.

Employ tools like analogies, humor, and characters to enhance engagement.

Eliminate technical jargon to ensure clarity for all listeners.

Conclude your story by bringing it full circle, leaving a lasting impression on your audience

Simplify graphs and data, avoiding complexity.

Emphasize conceptual clarity over intricate detail.

Opt for eye-catching images or diagrams, even creating your own if necessary.

Minimize text to convey key points succinctly.

Embrace negative space, allowing for visual balance and emphasis on essential elements.

[Only recommended if multiple people will be talking in the video and option 1 above does not seem to work] Share your screen and record in Zoom. purdue-edu.zoom.us/

Edit your video on an as-needed basis.

iMovie for Macs

Shotcut is free for Mac/Windows/Linux

You are required to add closed captioning to your video on YouTube.

CC’s should be added to the draft and final video

YouTube will automatically generate Closed Captions which makes this step easy. However, you MUST edit them for punctuation, capitalization, and any spelling or interpretation errors.

This link is a great resource with tutorials on how to add and edit automatic captions on YouTube.

Below is an example of the auto captions that were generated for a test video. Click Edit to add punctuation and make changes.
