Project Breakdown:
60-Second Media Arts Showcase
Client – This video is for current and prospective media arts students. We would be selling opportunities the department offers. We want to convey in a professional tone what opportunities the department offers to further students' education within various media areas. We want to do this so that the department has a quick snapshot about what they offer, as opposed to just long-form content.
Concept – We will get professional style b-roll of various department utilities such as the broadcast studios, editing lab, KNTU studio, the equipment room etc. We will assemble this footage and overlay either text or voice over to briefly provide an explanation to the footage.
