Today we presented our script and video in front of our Stream and one other Stream in a lecture theatre in Block 4. The first challenge was to find the lecture theatre as it wasn't one we had ever been to before and Block 4 is not somewhere we frequent. Once we found the theatre I was pleasantly surprised by how small and intimate it was as I had been worrying about it being very large and intimidating.
Even though I try to mentally prepare myself to not feel too nervous leading up to public speaking, because we were one of the last ones on the predetermined list to present I had started to feel ill and shaky by the time we finally got up in front of everybody. Luckily I managed to make it through my parts of the script without a hitch and in time with the video. It was helpful that we had split the script up between us so that we got small breaks between each of our speaking parts.
People seemed to enjoy our video - even laughing in parts, although someone did comment that the video clips were so captivating that they forgot to listen to what we were saying! The only thing that went a tad wrong during our presentation was that Farren had to turn up the sound half way through as we realised the city street noises were very quiet and the audience probably couldn't hear them. Also, unfortunately people were clapping too loudly during our credits to hear the amusing penguin noises we had included.
The best part of presentations today, apart from seeing/hearing the amazing work our peers have been up to, was the lollies that Tristam supplied.
