San Diego Tourism Board Video Upload
Description
THIS IS AN ORAL PRESENTATION
You will create an original video of 3-4 minutes featuring your preferred, local, tourist destination. You may choose any spot in San Diego or your neighborhood to convince a tourist to visit. This video should highlight the destination. Your approach should be that this video could be featured on the City of San Diego tourist web site that people from all the world access to see what is cool about San Diego. The spot you choose should be featured prominently in your video. You will want to tell your audience (tourists- either from out of town, or San Diegans who want to “staycation”) the features of your destination. For example:
How should a traveler get to your destination? Car? Plane? Train?
What can they expect for parking?
What can they expect to see?
Is there a fee to enter?
What kind of attractions are there to see?
What are the benefits of this location?
Is this educational? Business related? Government?
Who typically visits this location?
Is this location seasonal?
How long should a tourist plan to spend at this location?
What is an insider secret about this location?
Etc.
The purpose of this video is for you to orally communicate an effective message based on something you know very well. You will be graded on the quality of your presentation and the messaging you are choosing, so pick something that you can comfortably discuss without having to do a lot of research. The point is your presentation, not the subject matter.
If you submit a presentation or other kind of upload that is not an oral communication piece (you speaking) you will not receive credit.
