Student-facing instructions
You will begin by engaging in a brainstorm session to generate innovative video concepts. Collaborate with your peers to refine these ideas, creating rough sketches or storyboards for at least five potential videos. Next, you’ll critically evaluate each concept using a feasibility and impact matrix that considers audience relevance, reach, and resources.
