I like this video because its just one of those typical things that people see on youtube and then copy. There have been lots of people who copied the original maker of "Daft Hands" But this one is my favourite because its double as fast.

Photo Essay Reflection

What I most liked about the photo essays was the combination of music with the pictures because the music everybody used was very suitable for the stories and gave the right feeling. I think everyone did a good job on choosing the right music for their story. What I very much enjoyed about the essays was that everyone researched the history of their story well because I could pick up information very easily and learned a lot. What I didn’t like very much about the photo essays was that some had a few spelling mistakes because it easily broke my concentration off the stories when I saw simple mistakes. I also didn’t like some of the layouts of photo essays which must have been because the ones who made it didn’t watch the essay enough on full screen to know what it will look like once it’s completely done. If I was to revise my own photo essay I wouldn’t definitely work on spelling and slide transitions. The slide transitions can change quite a part of the feeling the story brings over if they are somehow connected to what the story is about. It wasn’t too hard to tell a story with pictures and music because I and my partner picked a rather easy story which had a clear timeline to it and therefore we didn’t have to write much of the story ourselves.

How to Addict your Audience to your PowerPoint

If PowerPoint was a drug then it would be a depressant, a narcotic. There are three steps to addict your audience to PowerPoint presentations. Step one is going cold turkey. This means to go cold and get rid of all the useless features of your presentation so your audience actually fined pleasure in watching your PowerPoint. For instance get rid of templates and cut the text, make sure the audience won’t ignore your speeches just because your PowerPoint is too full of information. Make yourself the information source and fill up your PowerPoint with images and color. Step two is to find the appropriate dosage. Keep your PowerPoint simple and don’t give the audience too much information, go through the presentation with them slowly and in steps. Step three is to develop dependency. Get your audience addicted to your simple and easy to understand presentations and keep them wanting more.

The 10/20/30 Rule

The optimal number of slides for a PowerPoint presentation is 10 slides. Ten good topics to have for each slide if you’re a businessman are a problem, your solution, business model, underlying magic/technology, marketing and sales, competition, team Projections and milestones, status and timeline and the summary with a call to action. You should spend about two minutes on each slide which will result your PowerPoint in lasting around twenty minutes. These twenty minutes of introduction will allow you forty minutes of discussion about the subject and your presentation. Also keeps your font below thirty points so people aren’t disturbed by the reading being too hard or too easy. The rule is 10 slides, 20 minutes and 30 points in font, nothing more to a good presentation.
