During
week for we were asked to make a presentation in groups which lasted
for five minutes long. The requirements told us that we had to use 15
slides which were to be shown for 20 seconds long.
Pecha Kucha to my understanding is a presentation in which each slide is on screen for a certain amount of time ( roughly 15-20 seconds) and there are little if any words on screen. The presentation is used as a prompt to the speech or lecture that the presenter is talking about.
Although I can see how handy This would be in the working world where it is vital people are listening to you and not just watching the screen not really paying attention, I didn't like the experience of doing one myself. I found it scary due to the fact I’ve always known that if I stuttered of messed up in my presentation skills the presentation would have backed me up but this time you had to get it right or the Pecha Kucha just didn't make sense. It can be helpful in crucial moments of certain peoples lives, for example pitching something to a company where it would be vital for them to listen to you rather than just watch the screen, and although I am thankful for the experience and knowledge of the project. Perhaps in my life I’ll have to use it, but unlike the other projects I’ve done I can say that this is one week I didn't enjoy.
The whole idea of presenting to a big group of people is daunting for me however overcoming that was something that I did do for this project and it I did help me I just didn't like being timed and having no prompts, yet on the other hand the presentation did teach me not to just read of the bored or a piece of paper but to project what I’m talking about. In order to make other people to listen, I need to seem interesting in the subject almost like I’m listening to myself too. Maybe the approach to take is if you're selling an idea to someone.
I also learnt from watching others present theirs, I had to listen to their voices and hear what they were saying rather than just reading and normally I would zone out but this time I had to listen contently. It also taught me to project my voice and make sure my diction was clear because many people wouldn't be able to hear me if I spoke fast or mumbled like I normal do. I had to make sure I was clear and it helped that so did everyone else because their were in the exactly same boat as me.
This was not one of my best projects nor my best week, however I’m thankful for the experience I just also hope I don't have to do it any time soon!
