Thumbnail:
● Use the picture that I send in the email
○ if I send no picture, full screen the video, pause at a good shot of me
filming/showing something, screenshot it, crop it, put title on an area that does
not cover my face
● Suggestion for font: I used Marker Felt for the thumbnail for the “behind the scenes in
iproj meetings”.
○ The size will be depending on the length of the title and how much space you
have.
○ The color should be either WHITE or RED. If you choose red, it needs to be the
same shade as all the other videos. Whether it’s white or red will depend on the
darkness/brightness of the photo.
The Video File
The goal is to create a video file of 480p. If possible, Ex Comm team will try to make it 720p. At
the moment, prepare as if it will be 480p.

13. show the staff/kids where we’re volunteering
Ask them to say hello to the camera, anything you want to say to the viewers?
Catch the contingent members in action of their service project
R&R:
This one is the most tricky because we DO NOT want to portray ourselves as having fun and
hardly working. Remember, we want to emphasize the service aspect of our trip. So things that
Cecilia can film are:
Ask Core Team (Anthony, Gloria, Tanya) what kind of work they put into planning
Why we’re doing R&R (‘first time since we relaxed since getting here!’)
Explain why this monument is important to the culture
What can we learn from R&R about the culture of Malaysia/Singapore?
Ask Tanya about her preparations for the Walking Tour
Hostels:
Showing the hostels is a great idea to show that we are not on vacation. We need to stay cheap
and since we’re traveling from place to place we stay at hostels. Potential things to film:
ironing clothes, why do we iron clothes?
packing
living arrangements, have you ever stayed at a hostel before?
showers
contingent meetings at the end
water runs
Miscellaneous:
Team Bonding Activities
why team bonding? What’s the importance
What activities? Explain persist necklace and secret angel
REMEMBER: REPRESENTATIVE OF SCOUTS CANADA AND HOW HARD WE WORK
Extra Videos
Before leaving, prepare one video in case Ex Comm becomes off grid. Suggestions are:
Introducing the Ex Comm Team
Introducing the Photography Team
After returning home, we can have a [cheesy] heart warming video:
If you could only use one word to describe your experience, what will it be?
Every contingent will say one word during the trip
make it cheesy AF.

2. make a booklet to bring on trip

![Purpose
Vlogs are currently extremely trendy on YouTube. The purpose of the vlog is to showcase the
hard work that the contingent has put in to iproj while on the ground. It is mainly a behind the
scenes video. Vlogs can also contain commentary of various contingent members on what
they’re doing and is a chance to get to know more contingent members (other than the blog
writers).
Difference between Vlog and Blog
Blogs are written summations of what we did (usually) for our service project. Refer to Blog
Content document for more details. Whereas, vlogs, as mentioned above, provide footage of
raw, spontaneous videos of the live action that’s occurring in the backstage.

Standardization of Videos
Intro Sequence (0:19): The Intro will be the Intro Video that Lawrence Lai made (Can be found
in the “Video Blogs” folder (0:13). After the short animation is played, put up the Title. The title
image (0:06) should look something like the image (you can change the font whatever way you
like) and should have background noise (I will purposefully film 7 seconds of white noise for you
to use during the Title image):
