TIPS:
Video Notes: The above video is delivered in the format outlined in the book, as far as having the proper introduction and closing, and requirements of this speech. But, please note, we have also included other elements in this video that are not required. We ‘ve included additional things, such as, video bumbers, music and lower thirds banners.
Video Bumper: Branded intros and outros at the beginning and end of the video. In this video, you can see the Story Academy logo fading in and out with some music.
Music: The music is part of the bumper. You can get complimentary background music from Youtube, or for better quality and more original tracks, check out Jewel Beat.
Lower Thirds: These are the title banners that are about a third of the way up the screen and they usually have writing on them, such as the person ‘s name.
IMPORTANT: You don ‘t have to include those things. You can just do your videos on your phone or in zoom, or something like that, if you want. We have included these extra things to model what is possible for an average person to do, because this program is all about providing you with a well rounded and flexible experience to gain modern storytelling skills. Some people may want to explore the video aspects more than others.
YOUR EXPRESSION: Be creative and express yourself in a way that feels great to you.
