5-Minute Presentaion Questions

1) What would you say stood out about your presentation performance?

In my presentation I think that bringing in several different camera and telling the class how they all use light and see light in there own way. Every film camera registers light in a different way and light is one of the most important things in photography and I believe what made me different was the fact that each one of those cameras can view differently like eyes. Also in non-traditional photography lighting is everything.

2) What was most challenging to do and why?

The most challenging thing for me, was to remember all my facts in order, for I was going through my facts very quickly in my mind and not keeping it in a straight order, or remembering which fact or statement will go first. 

3) What is the difference between the literal and interpretive in your presentation? 

Literal is something that you already know or learned, it is pretty much a fact about something, or in this case your topic that you are learning. While with interpretive it does tie in to the facts but in this case you need to make a connection with something else like, in a camera the F/stops are numbered from 2-16(usually 16), 2 being the biggest and 16 the smallest just like gauges that stretch peoples ears, smaller numbers are bigger and bigger numbers are a smaller size

4) What will you take from this and apply to future presentations? 

What I would take from this presentation is to review all my facts and statements for then I would write it down in an order I can follow. Also I would like to work on not speaking so quickly and keeping cool, calm, and collected while I present to the class.
