I took this opportunity to practice my presentation skills as I hadn't presented to a room full of people since the end of last year and so I was in need of some practice.
As my audience would be graphic designers, I picked a film that I could speak about and relate back to our discipline. The director of the movie Drive uses a clever quadrant system in a number of scenes. This is something that us as designers use in terms of layout and composition and so I thought it would be a good way to interest the audience.
My feedback included that I remained on some of the slides for slightly too long and so the audience didn't have enough visuals and so all the eyes then turned to me or else where. To tackle this, I should make sure that as I am explaining the slides, I have a number of slides with visuals that I flick through whilst explaining myself. This would both keep the audience interested as well as keeping the eyes off me and so less pressure.
Another criticism is that I spoke to much about each slide and I could have cut it down a little. This is something that will be easily fixable when it comes to my main presentation.
