***Change of format for submitting your Curatorial Pitch for the formative assignment. As notified in Week 4 on Teams, due to strike action on 14th February there will no longer be a live presentation. Here are the adjusted instructions for your formative assignment. The deadline for uploading your recording is Friday 17th February.***

Curatorial Pitch format:

1. A pre-recorded presentation of your idea for the individual Curatorial Project that you aim to present as the final practical outcome of the Course in Week 12. Maximum 8 minutes in duration.
2. Use the University’s Mediahopper platform accessible here https://media.ed.ac.uk to record your presentation. Log in using your University credentials. Allow time to create a practice version of your presentation: usually more than one attempt is needed to produce a video you will be happy with.
3. The presentation should be accompanied by a short Powerpoint that contains images and text that helps to communicate your project idea. You should screen share your Powerpoint while you talk and record your presentation.
4. When your recording is complete, you should share a link to the media in your Blog on Learn.
5. Your pitch should communicate key conceptual and practical aspects of your project idea, this includes: the curatorial format (online exhibition or other digital event, publication, screening, performance), the mediums featured, participants and publics, location, duration, capacity
6. Your pitch should reflect on key course content from Weeks 1, 2, 3 and 4 that has informed the research and development of your idea.
7. Your pitch should summarise steps forward as you see them now towards then realisation of your project.
8. Remember we do not expect you to have all the answers, you may even have more than one way of developing the project, this is about scoping out the feasibility, relevance and interest of your project ideas. It’s ok to make mistakes, be unsure, and be trying ideas out at this stage.
9. You can include a set of questions you have about your project for which you would like to seek feedback from tutors and peers

Delivery and planning:

• You will be given feedback from your course tutor in the form of written comments on your Blog by Week 6.
