Pitch Completed

On Tuesday, we had to complete our pitch at the Brighton dome. As a group the organization was a bit last minute, but we had managed to get in contact with several potential candidates for interviews, and had made some multimedia examples to show at the pitch. However, on the day, Cal found out some bad news from home, and couldn't do the pitch, so Ella, Louise and I had to say her part. This was a bit of a scramble to try and work out what to say, and who said what, as we all wrote our own parts to the prezi. Also, the computers started to stop working in the afternoon across campus.

However, we did manage to do our presentation. I felt that it went well on the whole. I felt that our host understood our idea and enjoyed out multimedia parts, and that we came across as clear and interested. I also felt we all got a relativity fair share of speaking, and that we didn't rely too heavily on our presentation to explain what we needed to tell her. However, I did feel that we explained for too long, and that this might have tired her out a bit- lots of speaking. I also felt that we should have shared the text a bit more- because we had a chunk to read and then stood there silently for the rest of the time. It might have been more interesting if we had broken everything up (which we might have if we'd been more organized.) I also felt that my own contribution was not that good in presentation wise. I talked very fast because I was nervous and this was not very professional. I felt my contribution to the content was very good, however. I did a lot of the history research, got in contact with the dome, made a timelapse, helped make the presentation, came up with many of the ideas (the timeline for instance) and did some photo resourcing. I also drew an (awful) storyboard (awful because I cant draw.) I thought that Ella and Louise were very good in the presentation  they were good at being relaxed.

I think I have learnt that to do a presentation, we should break sections into smaller bits, so we can make what we're saying conversational (which is more engaging) and also means that if someone drops out, we dont have a huge amount to try and make up last minute. I think I would also try and be more relaxed and still, as when watching it back, I was waving my arms around and speaking too fast.

I put the video of us online, so we could all have access to it. This is the video

We got some good feedback from Zoe at the Dome on our pitch, which she said was very informative and good. She said we might be doing to much, but I think we might has well try to do too much and see what happens. She also recommended us a place t get in touch with people, which was useful
