Evaluation of our presentation

Tuesday 7th October 2008
Reflecting on my filmed performance

1. I presented information to my target audience by using a catchy jingle that told you what website to go on to get more information. We also used a visual aid. This was necessary as our target audience was little children. This meant that we had to make it easy to understand, and interesting to watch. I felt that this would be quite fun to do as acting as children can be really interesting. I did worry a bit though because I wasn’t sure how we were going to present it. But then we came up with the idea of being bored children and asking our teacher if we can go to the theatre. This turned out to be a really good idea.

2. To make things more informative for my target audience, I could’ve maybe given the times of the performances given exact details. Though I didn’t want to put too much information into the performance, as our target audience was little children.

3. Using Drama as a way of presenting information was very fun and effective. I felt it was more effective than a leaflet or poster because most people prefer to watch something than they do to read something. It also got across the information in a more clear and interesting way. Doing our performance as a drama was really fun! It was a great way for us to get our information across in a way that people would understand. I was a bit nervous when we got up in front of he class to perform, but it went really well!

4. In my presentation I will use the techniques such as voice projection and movement. When you use movement in a presentation, its keeps your audience captured. I will also try to make sure that I use the language associated to my target audience. After watching my performance I realised that a good performance needs these different techniques.

5. In terms of what is going on in my area, I learnt that there are more interesting theatres that offer a lot of plays for varied ages than I thought. I never realised that there were so many theatres.


6. To improve my presentation I could’ve made it more informative. This would maybe have captured a more carried audience. But seeing as our presentation was targeted at young children, I didn’t want to put too much information in it because then it would became too heavy.

7. My acting in the presentation was quite realistic and I think it related to children very well. When we created a jingle to use in the performance, I felt that this was very effective. This was proven right when the class couldn’t stop singing it! We needed to work on our voice projection and our filming. Sometimes the light would not shine through properly so it was hard to see us. This created a vital problem. So next time I will make sure that we are prepared when we perform a presentation.
