2022:Training/Session 6 (Storytelling)

624 bytes removed, 3 years ago
Changes for the 2022 Early Cohort
*'''Prototype 2:''' Once you have one outline that your team is happy with, create your second prototype: a visual version of your change story. One way is to sketch the scenes out on pieces of paper and use your phone to film them, describing what happens in each scene. Another way is use your phone to film your team acting the scenes out. It's not vital that you have your story final at this point. This step is to help you begin to imagine which visuals will best support your change story. <br><br>
Add screenshots and/or photos of your prototypes to your team Mural board for Session 6.<br><br>
Our UIF team also prototypes videos; here is an example of Laurie Moore walking us through a prototype of a UIF program video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHfwSZAfYCw. The final video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jef5A2MdNSI) is much different because we were able to hone in on the message we really wanted after creating and watching the prototype. Once you complete both prototypes, share them with your uiguide to gather feedback. Ask what they think your video is about, and compare that to what you thought your video was about. The questions that they ask you are important to consider. Once you receive feedback, proceed with filming your final video.<br><br>{{note2|'''Note:'''}} If your school has had Fellows in the past, and you think your UIF project would benefit from a medium other than a video (such as an infographic, website, social media campaign, etc), email laurie@universityinnovation.org for approval by October 1at the earliest. Send her a few details about the type of medium you're considering, and why it would benefit your project instead of a video.<br>
<br>
<big>'''Film your video'''</big><br><br>
You don’t need a fancy camera -- it’s amazing to see the quality of videos shot on phones! You don’t need professional editing software -- there’s a good chance that at least one member of your team has used basic video editing tools such as iMovie. You don’t need your phones -- you can record a Zoom call and edit it. You don’t even need to show your faces -- try stop motion animation!<br><br>
{{note2|'''Note:'''}} If your team is still collaborating virtually/socially distant, use the tools available to you as a constraint and see what creativity results
<br><br>
Case in point: The UIF team frequently creates quick videos like your Welcome video by filming our parts separately on our computer cameras and using iMovie to edit the pieces together. Does it look like we paid someone lots of money to make this? No. Does it get the point across? Yes. That’s all we’re asking of your team.
<br><br>
Once you've created your video, upload it on YouTube:<br>
* Make the video public
<br>
Embed the video on your school's student priorities wiki page, and carry out your plan for sharing your video with your audience. Add a screenshot and link to your video to your team Mural board. Submit the link to your video, due October 10by the end of your training. Visit the [[2022:Training/Submitting Assignments|Submitting Assignments]] page for more on how to submit your assignment. <br><br>
Remember: You don’t have to be on campus or together with your team to create an effective video! Here are a few Fellows' change stories, as examples of different styles of videos:

<br>
You should email the report and artifacts to the stakeholders who attended your meeting as well as to those who were unable to attend. CC the UIF team (team@universityinnovation.org); this will lend further credibility to your efforts and demonstrate your connection to program leaders. We love supporting your network-building efforts and learn a lot about your ecosystem by checking out your awesome artifacts.<br><br>
Additionally, collect the report and artifacts in a Google Drive folder so we have a permanent place where your artifacts are located. Here's a an [https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/0B-phQuncKkx2MXJSTm5paXktODQ example] of great organization of artifacts by Kettering University. {{note2|'''Note:'''}} Leadership Circles should elect one member of the team to send the email to attendees, copying the UIF team.<br>

:* '''Lean Startup: Did you interview stakeholders, from faculty/administration to previously-trained Fellows, testing your assumptions about the projects you wish to initiate using the Change Model Canvas (Session 5)?
:* '''Wiki Pages:''' Have you created/updated the following pages? Campus Overview (Session 3, step 2), Strategic Priorities page (Session 4, assignment 2) and your bio page (Your Mission)? Are they written well, formatted nicely and free of spelling/grammatical errors? When Stanford emails your campus leaders these links, will they reflect well on you as a thought leader?
:* '''Change story video:''' Will your audience understand your vision for change? Did you take into consideration your uiguide's feedback? Do you need to do some final edits before it goes viral on your campus? Make sure that you've submitted your project (Session 6) by October 10the end of this week (Week 6).<br><br>All deliverables must be confirmed by October 10 September 1st at midnight Eastern Time for students and faculty sponsors to receive their launch email the following week. The public launch will be on Monday, October 18, when your campus communications office will receive a press release from our team introducing them to you and urging them to write a news story about your work.
