# Week 12 — Friday, November 13 ## Appointments · Showcase Cut + Networking Check **Your group hour. Lab open the full block.** --- ## Due today - **Showcase piece — plan / rough cut**, plus the **shot list PDF** - Platform cadence check: **four pieces placed publicly** --- ## Your conference **We watch the cut together, cold, at full length.** Then: - Is your best material inside the **first eight seconds**? Assume a reviewer stops at fifteen. - Is it **60–90 seconds**? Almost every cut gets better when it gets shorter. - Does it work **muted**? Many reviewers watch with sound off. - Does the shot list attribute every shot honestly — and can you defend each one if asked "what part was yours?" **Networking Log check.** Where are you against the Week 15 minimum: 10 entries, 3 follow-ups, one fall Guest Speaker session attended? If you have zero entries today, we make a concrete plan in the conference — who you're messaging this week, and which event you're going to. --- ## Bring - The rough cut, as a working link *and* a local file - The shot list, printed - Your Networking Log, open --- ## Due next | | When | |---|---| | **Presentation script** + timed dry run | Week 13 — Fri Nov 20 | | Everything else | Week 15 — Fri Dec 4 | --- ## Next week is the dry run Week 13 is a **timed rehearsal** of your final presentation, one-on-one. Come with a script. That's not decoration — it's the week that makes you ready for the December Portfolio Review, whenever the department lands it. From Nov 20 forward you should be able to present your portfolio to a stranger with no warning. Read the **Final Portfolio Presentation** assignment page this week and write the script from it.
