SayPro Short Video Introduction (1–2 minutes, MP4 or link to YouTube/Drive).

SayPro Short Video Introduction Requirement

As part of the SayPro application or event process, participants are required to submit a short video introduction. This video should be 1-2 minutes long and serve as a personal or team introduction. The video allows SayPro to get a quick overview of who you are, your research or project, and your goals for participating.

Video Format and Specifications:

1. Video Length:
   • The video should be 1 to 2 minutes long. This is a brief introduction, so keep it concise and engaging.
2. File Format:
   • MP4 is the preferred format for video uploads. It is widely supported, easy to view, and maintains high quality.
   • If you’re uploading to a platform like YouTube or Google Drive, you can provide a link to the video in your application.
3. Content to Include in Your Video:
   • Introduce Yourself/Team:
     • Start with a brief introduction: who are you (name, role, background)?
     • If it’s a group submission, introduce each team member briefly.
   • Project or Research Overview:
     • Provide a quick summary of your project, research, or initiative.
     • Highlight the key objectives or goals of your work.
   • Motivation or Goals for Participation:
     • Explain why you’re participating in SayPro.
     • Share your goals or what you hope to achieve from being part of the event or project (e.g., networking, knowledge exchange, data access).
   • Personal or Group Contribution:
     • If applicable, share what unique expertise or perspective you bring to the table.
   • Call to Action (Optional):
     • End with a message inviting engagement or further questions, or let viewers know how they can connect with you.
4. Video Tips:
   • Be Engaging and Natural: Talk as if you’re speaking to a colleague or a friend. Show enthusiasm about your project or research to keep the audience interested.
   • Keep it Clear and Concise: Respect the 1-2 minute time limit. Get to the point quickly, and ensure your message is clear and well-structured.
   • Good Lighting and Audio: Make sure you are well-lit, and the audio is clear. If you’re recording with a phone or camera, try to avoid background noise and ensure your face is visible.
   • Professional Setting: Record in a quiet, well-lit space. Keep the background neutral and uncluttered to maintain a professional appearance.
   • Check Your Framing: Make sure you’re centered in the frame, and the camera is at eye level to create a more engaging and professional look.
