FMP 365 -- Pitch Doc (original) Assignment Instructions

Summary

In this video, the speaker outlines expectations for a pitch assignment due on November 26th. Students are required to submit two files: a pitch presentation script (a word-for-word script for their pitch) and a visual presentation (a slide deck or other visuals to accompany the pitch). The speaker emphasizes that the focus should be on the pitch itself, not the pilot script, and suggests including images that represent the project, such as actor likenesses or personal connections to the material. The pitch will be presented online, and the speaker encourages students to reach out with questions.
