Assignment 2 Presentation

All my entries for my blog have been building up so I thought it would be best to add them to my online blog. I did my presentation the other week for my second assignment and think it went quite well. The main problem I think that was wrong with my presentation is that is was not long enough but I will now know this for next time and try and work on filling the whole time slot I am given to present in. It was really good to see the other students presentations and work and to see what they are doing for this module with promoting themselves and their work as everyone is working on something very different.

Notes and Text for Assignment 2 Presentation

Below are the notes and text I have prepared as a guide through my presentation and what to say and include.

Presentation Text and Notes

1. I am a video artist and produce a variety of short films, animations and videos.

2. The videos I produce include 2D and 3D effects, visuals and animations, stop motion videos and real life videos and films that I have recorded

3. I am continually experimenting with new and different ideas, techniques and effects and also new programs that I come across.

4. The main focus of my work and visuals is for it to be used by VJ’s for sets in clubs and venues, but currently I am also using my films and visuals to produce a music video.

5. I also take stills from my films, animations and videos I produce which act as another end product from my VJ visuals.

6. I will now show you several stills from different visuals that I have produced.

7. I think my work is quite different from other work I have seen on the market within the VJ network and also within music videos.

8. I will now show you a short mix I have put together for this presentation.

Assignment 2 Stills From Presentation

Below are the stills from my presentation for assignment 2 that I have put together in Macromedia Director.

Images From Video Art For Presentation

Below are the images from some of my videos that I will include within my presentation. I have chosen these images because I think they are really visually aesthetically pleasing and I think they show a really interesting range of my work.

Presentation for Assignment 2

I have been thinking about the oral and vica voca presentation for the second assignment and think that I should really try and prepare myself to be more confident. I feel I am quite good at putting presentations together and preparing and including everything that needs to be shown and spoken about, and practice and go through what I am going to say before. However, when it comes to presenting I tend to rush and speak very quickly. This is something I am going to have work on and practice for this module and the future, as it shows I am nervous and doesn’t look and sound very good and professional.

At the moment I plan to finish my presentation early so I have plenty if time to practice. I feel I know quite well what needs to be included in my presentation and how to go about presenting it but I am going to research and view a few of the links in the module study guide to further help me and maybe give me some new ideas.

Assignment 2

I have been thinking about the second assignment with the oral and vica voca presentation and how I am going to put it together. I am hopefully going to put together my presentation using Macromedia Director, however as the main part of my work involves video I will have to show an example within the presentation and at the present moment I do not know how to do this within Director. Hopefully I will learn how to do this or otherwise I will have to use another program to produce my presentation. I have chosen to use Director to produce my presentation because I feel it would look more professional than using Powerpoint for example as I can set up buttons and use things such as moving graphics and also sounds and music in Director.
