Project proposal
I will be completing my internship at Silicon Valley Product Group (SVPG). The SVPG was created to share senior level experience and best practices with technology companies. The mission of the Silicon Valley Product Group is to help high technology companies create successful products that drive successful businesses.
My mentor is Marty Cagan. Marty is a Partner/ Founder of SVPG and heads the product development portion of SVPG. I hope that I am able to learn some of the basics for creating innovative products as well as basic business management. I also hope to see what it is like to work at the higher echelon of the world market and see the thought behind the creation of innovative products.
My goals in the future are tied to my link in that I have interests in starting my own business. By completing this link I will have a deeper understanding of what makes a business successful and prosperous. This link might also help taylor my college planning and choices revolving around which school I go to or what programs I pursue at the school. I am also completing a cinematography segment in this link based around my mentor. I hope that this segment will help further narrow my thought process for the future.
My project is to create a segment of film that will later be incorporated into a full ten hour talk. This talk is focused on my mentors work and will be a coarse that companies can buy. This coarse will duplicate the in person lectures that my mentor gives to companies. This video will help the company by creating another product for them to sale as well as possibly making there services available to more companies. Through completing this project I hope to gain insight into the creation of professional level video as well as a basic understanding of my mentors coarse.
To complete my link I have to first research what film equipment will create the best results. Next I have to learn how to edit a professional quality video and what program to use. I will also be reading sections of Marty’s book in preparation. The video we will create is based off of this book and by reading it I will have a better understanding of what we are filming.
To complete my project I will have to be editing and refining throughout my time with Marty as well as working on my film techniques. I will be working on my project both with Marty and by myself. Marty will provide in put on the final form and look of the film. He is also interested in learning some of the basic editing and filming techniques so we will collaborate on the learning process.
One challenge that has presented itself during the planning stage of this internship was centered around the business trip that was planned for the first week of the internship. This trip had to be rescheduled to a later date so this will not be happening during the internship time, we will instead spend all three weeks here working on the film.
I am very excited to be participating in the internship. I have always been interested in what Marty does but have not been clear on his role. I am truly happy to help Marty and his business in any way I can.
