Evaluation of Presentation

Contents of the Evaluation for the Presentation

I was not confident while I was presenting, which lead to repetition of words and lack of animation which lead to an audience less engaged than average. This is because I am not a confident presenter and am not familiar with methods to make the audience interested in the presentation. However, as I knew the material and had previously practised presenting this specific presentation, with limited experience prior, I was still able to concisely convey my point.
The findings of my investigation were shown via powerpoint, with images and the gist of my point being shown on the powerpoint while I talked over it and expanded on points to make them information easy to follow.
From the audience I got verbal feedback, e.g. acknowledging points or questions asking to expand o a slide, which helped me cover all information and make sure that no information was left out which needed to be shown to make a coherent point.
I was asked questions about my research, for example how I came into contact with the industry professionals (which I did via email and further communication). Also, as I talked about my planned future in film (specifically university), and was further quizzed on what I was doing in addition to the planning of a short film to move towards that goal, to which I explained I was practicing editing (my primary interest) in my spare time to build up a portfolio for university or work applications. I was also questioned about the experience I had in planning a short film, as the planning documents I provided, script and storyboard indicated I had, and I explained that I had had experience in Unit 2 of my Creative Digital Media course, which taught me the fundamentals of such planning material.
The questions I was asked mainly revolved around my personal experience and plans, and as a result I answered them as thoroughly as was possible, giving examples to back up my points. However, the projection of such answers was less confident due to the fact that I'm not yet an experienced presenter.
This process will help me in my future as it has helped me understand the whole production process as a short film, reaffirming my interest in the field as well as making me realise and consider the route of an editor in the future, pursued through university then work, as researching and analysing editing techniques and tips was the most rewarding part of the process.
