Video Outline for Keynote Introduction

This video will introduce the keynote speaker at a national conference on Mobile Learning. The keynote address will open the conference and set the stage for the week's activities. As such, it will first integrate elements from the theme for each of the five days (history, hardware, software, pedagogy, and case studies), and then introduce the speaker. Following is a brief treatment of the (a) design concepts (graphics, movement, audio), (b) content outline, and (c) reference materials.

Concepts

Graphics: clean, simple, web 2.0 inspired, balanced in thirds, 16:9, some retro-influences, saturate colors with diffuse overlays, sans-serif font that relays academic rigor but is inspired by net-generation intensity and freedom.

Movement: quick but precise, soft-edged transitions, fast-in and fast-out, syncopated

Audio: techno with variable tempo and feeling, Probably "Keep Hope Alive" by The Crystal Method
