Question
• Compile a video, of 4 to 6 minutes long, about the topic given to your group.
• All group members must appear in the video.
Each student should record their own part of the video; one student in the group should combine everyone’s videos into one final video. (Please refer to the document about how to merge videos.)
• The final video you upload/submit should be less than 30 MB. (Please refer to the document about how to compress videos.)
• Record your video in a well-lit, quiet space.
• The video should flow smoothly, be coherent, and have a clear introduction, discussion, and conclusion.
• You will be assessed not only on the quality of the content, but also on your non-verbal communication.
• You must use at least two (2) reliable sources to compile the content of your video. Refer to these sources in the video and type a reference list at the end of your answer sheet.
• Possible subtopics have been included, but you do not need to limit yourself to these.
Very important – constantly ask yourself:
• Is this the type of video that I would enjoy watching?
• If I was scrolling Facebook and this video started playing, would I keep watching it until the end?
• While watching this video, would I think things like “I can hear and see all the speakers clearly”, “the speakers in the video all seem confident and enthusiastic”, and “this video seems professional”?
• All group members must appear in the video.

Creating a high-quality group video presentation involves several steps, and it's essential to organize the content effectively to ensure a smooth flow. Below is a structured approach to help you and your group compile your video on the chosen topic.
### Step-by-Step Guide to Creating the Video
#### 1. **Define the Topic and Key Points**
- What is the topic assigned to your group?
- Identify key points or themes related to the topic that you want to cover.
- Discuss possible subtopics and decide how many subtopics each member will cover.
#### 2. **Assign Roles and Responsibilities**
- Each member should select a specific aspect of the topic to present. Examples can be:
- Background information
- Current trends
- Case studies or examples
- Impacts or implications
- Solutions or recommendations
- Designate one member to be the editor responsible for compiling the videos.
#### 3. **Research and Reliable Sources**
- Each group member should conduct research on their assigned topic and gather information from at least two reliable sources (e.g., peer-reviewed journals, official reports, reputable news outlets).
- Make sure to note down all the references for the final list.
#### 4. **Script and Rehearse**
- Before recording, write a script for each part. Keep the language clear and concise.
- Practice presenting to ensure comfort and confidence while speaking.
- Each member should aim to convey their points in an engaging manner.
#### 5. **Recording the Video**
- Find a well-lit, quiet place to record.
- Use a steady camera or tripod to ensure a good video quality.
- Speak clearly and confidently, maintaining eye contact with the camera.
- Use non-verbal communication effectively; gestures and facial expressions can enhance the presentation.
#### 6. **Video Editing and Compilation**
- The designated editor should use software (like iMovie, Windows Movie Maker, or online platforms like Canva or Kapwing) to compile the individual videos.
- Ensure that the video transitions smoothly between speakers, and add background music or graphics if it enhances the presentation (but keep it subtle).
#### 7. **Compressing the Video**
- After editing, use video compression tools (like HandBrake or online compression services) to ensure the final video is under 30 MB.
#### 8. **Final Review and Submission**
- Watch the completed video as a group to make sure it is coherent, professionally presented, and engaging.
- Upload the video along with a reference list of sources used.
### Sample Outline for the Video
1. **Introduction (1 minute)**
- Brief introduction to the topic.
- State the purpose of the video.
2. **Discussion (3-4 minutes)**
- Each member presents their segment (1-2 minutes each).
- Include key points, statistics, examples, and personal insights.
- Transition smoothly between segments.
3. **Conclusion (1 minute)**
- Summarize key takeaways.
- Invite viewers to comment or ask questions.
4. **References**
- List the sources used in the video.
- Example:
- Smith, J. (2023). *Understanding [Your Topic]: Trends and Insights*. Journal of [Relevant Field].
- Doe, A. (2022). *The Importance of [Aspects of Your Topic]*. [Reputable Source Name].
### Video Presentation Tips
- **Engagement**: Keep energy high and vary your tone.
- **Clarity**: Ensure that each part is easy to follow and avoid jargon unless explained.
- **Visuals**: Consider using slides or props if they enhance understanding.
By following these steps and focusing on quality, your group can create a professional and engaging video that resonates with viewers. Good luck!
