Editor's Notes
- It’s not a cinch to figure out your ‘why’, but you can make it work. I like to start with this statement and fill in the blank. You can put that in your proposal if you want, but you’ll need to connect it to audience, too. You have to make a gut emotional connection based on the ‘why’.That’s the next step. Hopefully you’ve done this before – it’s kinda what marketing is.
- I usually fill in the blank in this statement to make this work. It’s not perfect, but it can help. Here’s an example for us:
- You should be able to tell the whole story w/o slides, first. Slides are a storytelling AID, not the story.
- Why were David’s hands and head so big? To be better scene from below/at a distance.
- Why were David’s hands and head so big? To be better scene from below/at a distance.
- But don’t be a slave to it
- just do it equally/equitably
- unless it specifically makes sense
- just do it equally/equitably
- We say ridiculous things.
- You deserve this!!!!
- just do it equally/equitably
