Advantages of Study Abroad Programs-Free-Samples for Students

Question: Discuss about the Advantages of Study Abroad Programs. Answer: Introduction: Abroad study is the act of getting education by a student in a country other than his or her own. This can include primary or secondary and graduate level students. Usually study abroad programs are achieved by collaboration of two universities who then exchange students allowing them to get foreign education. A typical education program is limited to only a semester but sometimes it may extend to multiple semesters. These report discuses about the main study abroad techniques that are made available to the students of other countries. This report also includes an infomercial about study abroad programs and the targeted audiences associated with it. Aim of the project: The aim of this project is to make an infomercial about study abroad programs. The programs are being provided by Macquarie University. The main topic of discussion is the IES Abroad direct enrolment Sydney (Mueller 2014). This program is an undergraduate study abroad program with emphasis on business and commerce, science and psychology. The infomercial aims to recruit students from other countries for this program. The main aim of this information report is to provide details about the topic. Intended audience: The intended audience of this infomercial is the 17-year-old students with tablets or Smartphone or computers with an internet access. To reach the target audience, social media advertising or YouTube will be used along with other advertising websites (Litt and Hargittai 2016) to promote the content. Overview: The infomercial video will be made by taking appealing pictures to students. As they are the intended audience, the video will be made in such a way to get their attention. Along with the information about the program, the cultural landscapes and the neighborhood will also be shown in the video as they are said to target young people (Cury 2013). At the end of the video, the required website needed to attend to sign up for the program will be embedded in the video. The link will also be in the description area where the video will be uploaded. Resources: The infomercial video will be made by careful planning and acquisition of resources is required before the production. Firstly, a budget of 500$ is required to make the video. This budget will also include the necessary promotions. Secondly, a video spokesperson will be hired. Thirdly, a production house needed to make the infomercial will be rented. The house will include the necessary equipments needed. Fourthly, the product to be included is to be integrated in the video. As the product is to make promotions of the study abroad program, there will be no price mentioned in the video. Fifthly, the video will consists of the great qualities of the program including the landscapes and cultures of the neighborhood to make a great impression on the audience (Liu et al. 2012). Lastly, the video will be promoted in front of the intended audience as mentioned in the report. Project timeline: Testing strategy: After the production of the video, there is a requirement for the testing of the video. The testing part includes two aspects that should be met to complete the testing requirements. The first aspect is the user testing. A test promotion in YouTube will be made and the conversions will be noted (T?nase 2015). If there is good amount of sharing and likes in the video along with appropriate comments, then the video will be targeted for large-scale promotions, else a new layout of the video will be made. The other aspect is the technical part of this process. It involves the spatial, temporal and quantization of the source. The sources of the video frames can be checked and applied modifications along with changes in the media output. The sources include microphones, website, while the modifications include encoding, or decoding (Rose 2013). The media output is the destination where the video will be played which includes computers or Smartphone. The temporal aspect is to define the frame bits per second while the spatial aspect is to determine the event precision in the video. The quantization part is to check the emergence of two different aspects and its outcome. Conclusion: Thus, the video infomercial will be made in such a way so as to get the attention of the students. The video will be uploaded in YouTube to make it accessible to the students with Smartphone or tablets or computers. The required resources, which are mentioned here in this report, have to be fulfilled before the commencement of video production. Thus, the report is concluded by stating the requirements needed to get success for the made infomercial. References: Cury, I., 2013.TV Commercials: How to Make Them: or, How Big is the Boat?.
