Commercial Video
Your team may create a commercial-style video of your software. The commercial video is mainly to provide a “short and sweet” overview of the software you created for the course. The video must meet the following grading criteria:
- No more than 90 seconds in length
- Clearly communicates the core goals of the project (i.e., what need does the software fulfill?)
- Clearly shows how the software achieves those goals
- Shows the actual software in use
- Probably will need some video editing to fit everything into this short format
The focus of video should be on the goals of the software and how it fulfills them. Thus, you should adhere to the following:
- Don’t credit the team members.
- Don’t show closing credits. End with a “sunset” line regarding the software’s benefits.
- Don’t waste time showing boring features. Really focus on the most relevant/interesting ones.
- Don’t worry about putting everyone’s work on display. For example, boring features are actually very important to the quality of the project, but they just don’t belong in this video.
Note that the creators of the commercial video are eligible for A&B points.
Grading Rubric
The commercial video will be graded pass (full points) or fail (0 points) based on whether or not the above instructions were followed sufficiently.
