This document provides guidance to students on creating a presentation script for a film studies course. It explains that the script should be in a format suited for presenting, using different sections and elements to engage an audience. These include notes, bullets, short prose, and references to accompany presentation materials. Examples of script sections are provided, such as "Projector" and "Presenter" to indicate visuals and spoken parts. Students are encouraged to be creative in their scripts by adding extras like music, artwork, interviews. The goal is for the script to strengthen arguments through enhanced presentation. Students will work on developing their thesis statements and introductions in this format.

3. ‘Presentation Script’
You have been asked to create a ‘PRESENTATION SCRIPT’
You are NOT required to write an essay!
Instead your coursework must take the form of a
PRESENTATION SCRIPT – a script that a person can read
when giving a presentation of your findings
The Presentation Script should be in a format suited to a
presentation, and may:
• be in note form
• be bulleted or numbered
• Be short pieces of prose with reference to presentation
material connecting them

4. ‘Presentation Script’
Look at the example Presentation Script you have been
given
You may notice that each of the paragraph’s begins with
either:
PROJECTOR
PRESENT
ER
These are the written sections of your presentation script
that would be read out loud if you were to present your work
to an audience
These are the items that will appear on the screen /
whiteboard to accompany your presentation

5. Presenter – refers to
sections that will be
spoken out loud by
the presenter
Projector – refers to
sections that will be
displayed on the
whiteboard / within
your presentation

6. ‘Presentation Script’
The format of the presentation script is very important and
your use of the format will contribute to your final grade
Students are encouraged to be as creative as possible
with their presentation scripts
For example, you can include:
Music
Art Work
Posters
Interviews
Handouts for the
audience
Interviews
And more…
Whilst creativity is
essential every
aspect of your work
must go towards
building and
strengthening your
key arguments!

7. ‘Presentation Script’
Working in groups of 2, consider the following:
How else can we enhance our presentation scripts?
What other elements could we include to make the
Presentation more creative and entertaining?
You may want to consider
beginning your presentation
script with a quote from one of
your sources -

8. ‘Presentation Script’
I would encourage you to actually create a PowerPoint
Presentation to support your written presentation script
E.g.
