Today we had our final presentation! We got to uni early to set up our two foam hand installations in The Pit and also get in lots of practices of our speech and timing with our video before class.
I was feeling quite confident for the presentation (although my nervous tummy thought otherwise) because we had had time to practice and I knew that I would have the support of my team members. One fantastic insight about being in a team as that when it comes time to speak in presentations the script has been divided into three. This means you only have to say a line or two at a time, which gives you a small break between speaking making you less likely to trip up, and also before you know it you're on your last cue card. We got lots of laughs and smiles at our video and we were nearly perfect with our timing, except for one small part where Hannah accidentally rushed through her lines and then we had to wait for a beat or two for the clip to change. This didn't seem to effect the overall tone of our presentation at all though so all in all we were very pleased.
We did have one moment of uncertainty after we finished our presentation and the lecturers made a comment about us being under time, but this would have only been by about 8 seconds (as we know our video is about 8 seconds shorter than 4 minutes and we were speaking to our video). We think it probably just surprised them as every other group who had presented so far that morning was about a minute or more over time!
