G to the Odly

Overall, how do you feel the presentation went?
I feel the presentation went rather well regardless of a few hiccups. Each person knew when it was their time to speak, what order they were going to talk about stuff and the back story of what their era was. Everyone felt like they were going to 'freeze up' but thankfully no one did and everyone overcame their nerves. :)

How long did your team take?
Our team took 26 minutes out of the maxiumum 30 to present our 'History of Storytelling' - the most out of all 3 teams. Although we took the longest time, I think we used this time efficiently and to the best of our advantage.

Was everyone prepared? (comment on all)
Everyone was fully prepared and knew what their era was and what they were doing. One person struggled a bit, but that was due to abscence in previous weeks. Everyone in our team tried to help them out, which seemed to at least help the situation. :)


How did your audience react?
Our audience seemed to listen to what we were saying and contributed by asking questions related to our presentation, which showed they were interested in what we were talking about.

Were they positive? Distracting? Encouraging?
Most were positive, although some were slightly distracting (this was countered by simply looking somewhere else when talking).


Comments on you whilst doing the presentation?
I thought I presented pretty well, although I think I could have projected my voice a bit more and stuttered less (I think the stuttering was down to nerves more than anything else).

Were you prepared? Were you nervous?
I was both prepared and slightly nervous - although I do think if I prepared better I would've been less nervous. The stuttering and 'going blank' thing was probably a side effect of being nervous, but when I got into the flow of things the nerves seemed to go away.


What can you do in the future to improve this?
To improve this I need to prepare better in the future, like reading through my work time and time again so I can have a few main points I can expand on.


Generally - what did you learn from doing this presentation? What can you take from your research to use in your team game trailer?
I learnt quite a bit about Ancient Egypt that I didn't know before, as well as my strengths and weaknesses. I would say that remembering key points is one of my main strengths, where as not projected my voice enough is a weakness. I could use the mummification idea that the Ancient Egyptians used to create some creepy goings on in the trailer as well as the use of a cursed Tomb/Pyramid.
