Assignment Criteria
This assignment comprises the post-workshop exercises for Weeks 10 and 11.
Please note, although each week is listed as a separate component, the Week 10 and Week 11 parts
(Video Treatment and Completed Video) will be marked together. As such, it is expected that you adjust
your Video Treatment as you produce your Video so that they represent the same narrative and can be
marked together.

Assessed Exercise (Week 10)
“Creating a Video Communication Plan”
Careful planning is required when creating content for communicating research. Considering your audience is
key, and adjusting your content, narrative, and style to meet these requirements is a vital skill.
As part of your assessment submission for Assignment 4, you need to produce a video which communicates
a specific piece of FIT research. Please select one of the research papers from the list provided on the
Moodle page for Week 10, section: "5. Assignment Task (assessed)". It is not allowed to use papers outside
of this list to complete the assignment.
Your task is to create a ‘video treatment’ document, filling in the time, content and script columns that
will effectively communicate your chosen paper.
Your 90 second video will be sent to a number of investment companies seeking opportunities. This is a
typical situation that academic researchers find themselves in, where the business engagement staff are
seeking to communicate to investment companies and other organisations (such as private donors and
charities) what the nature of a specific piece of research is (in your case that is the research described in the
papers). Such organisations have staff with a good technical knowledge but who are not usually specialists in
the specific research area. The only goal of the video is to stimulate interest in the organizations to find out
more about the research. Therefore, your video will be used to introduce the core technical innovations and
the significance of these to gain potential meetings with members of the organisations at which the detail and
opportunities can be discussed further.
For the assessment we will look at the treatment and script along with the content of the video. The
treatment plan and script should be aligned with the video. If you change your idea, or you decide to
focus on a different audience be sure to update this treatment before submission!
What to Submit
1. A PDF filled out using the Week 10 assessment template (video treatment) named "STUDENT-ID-Week10-treatment.pdf".
How Much to Write
Although there is no explicit word limit for this activity, be aware that your video treatment and script should match the video that
you submit as part of the assignment, which is limited to 90 seconds.
What to Know
This is an individual exercise that forms part of the assessment for the unit, you must therefore work alone and follow Monash
University’s policies, procedures and regulations relating academic integrity, plagiarism and collusion (see Moodle).
Tutors may not provide support to you when you are completing this assessed exercise.
Tutors will provide feedback on any studio activities (during the studio) and this should be of help to you in completing the
exercise.

“Creating a draft video”
Following on from the Week 10 activity in this part of the assessment, you should:
1. Complete (and update) the video treatment (video plan) template, making sure to fill in the visual and
justification columns. These columns should succinctly describe what visuals will accompany each
element of your video, and why you made this decision in relation to the content and audience.
2. Record the audio for your dialog and any visuals you require (e.g. Zoom interviews)
3. Edit these into a draft video that can receive feedback in week 12.
Continue to use the template provided in Week 10 Assignment Template (Video Treatment) to carry out
this assessment.
For the assessment we will look at the treatment and script along with the content of the video. The
treatment plan and script should be aligned with the video. If you change your idea be sure to update this
treatment before submission!
