Need saturday @ 8:00 pm 3.6 business plan presentation assignment | Film | School of the Art Institute of Chicago
********* Please Read and Follow Instructions******
Objectives:
• For this assignment, you will be putting together a presentation of your business plan. The submission format is a pre-recorded presentation.
Assignment Details
• Please keep the presentation to 5 to 8 minutes as it will be timed and there will be point deductions for going over the time limit.
• Please be sure that your presentation includes the information on the below listed slides.
• Pictures work well but if you use text, the text of each slide should be in short, bulleted points. Whole sentences are rarely needed.
• Put no more than 3-5 bulleted points on a slide.
• If using a narrated Keynote or PowerPoint, after moving to a new slide, try to wait about 5 seconds before speaking. This helps to keep the narration in sync.
12 Slides
Generally, these 12 slides should work in most business situations although you are allowed to vary as needed for your business.
Remember that the slides should just contain pictures or bullet points, basically to remind you what to say. The detail will come from your narration.
