Project scope
- What is the main goal for this project?
-
The Prevention of Blindness Society of Metropolitan Washington runs an Eyeglasses Recycling Program in the Washington, DC area. We want to increase awareness for donors about what happens to a pair of eyeglasses after they are donated.
We would like to collaborate with students to create an awareness video.
This will involve several different steps for the students, including:
- Familiarizing themselves with the social cause, our mission and goals.
- Scripting, laying out, and requesting source video.
- Finding and applying suitable background music.
- Adding text, transitions, and overlays to the video.
Bonus steps in the process would also include:
- Presenting the video and making edits based on feedback.
- Recommending ideas and editing tools for future awareness videos.
- What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?
-
By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:
- Understanding of the cause, our mission, and goals
- Development of a video
Bonus steps would include:
- Revising the video based on feedback
- Recommending ideas and tools for future videos
Final deliverables should include
- A finalized video.
